[NightWing195]

Can anyone share any tips on how to snipe? I'm not very good at it and want to get better. Any recommended filters I should use? Thanks

Nope. Sharing sniping tips pretty much defeats the purpose of sniping. Figure it yourself my friend!

Welp I guess asking doesnt hurt

Devote a crap load of time to roaming the markets, and learning what every player is worth and what they sell for. There is a difference. Start with a particular card trype (ruby, onyx, etc.) to study and go from there. After a while, you'll figure out who nets the highest and most consistent profits.

I have over 300k MT and have completed the 14-15 collection with no money spent, but I get on the auction house before work, after work, and before I go to bed every day. Go read some stuff on supply and demand if you aren't already very knowledgeable on the concept.

This.

AH market refreshes every 15mins or so, so watch the market right after it does. Target 1-3 specific players to start with. I'm 40 odd cards from A.I so it helps with getting cards as cheap as possible, and with patience it does happen.

Going for the throwback players is usually a good bet.

I wanted to have Sapphire Maravich. To do it you need all cards in 70-71 Hawks collection.

I bought all those Hawks players easily for reasonable prices, even Gold Maravich himself was for under 5k MT. But there was one bronze player (Bill Bridges I think) for whom I spent a few weeks looking on the AH and for some reason he was either not available or on sale for insane prices, like 50k MT!

Just for a bronze player...

I guess my tip would be, study the market, try completing collections yourself. You'll find out which players are rare and valuable. Most people don't know the real values of these rare players and will sell them for the lowest price...

Sell your soul

[kabamaru]

buy players every day a new pack arrives (ruby or thursday friday) were people are selling more players to have MT to buy packs.

Sell players on Monday's Tuesdays were less people are selling.

If you do not have lots of spare time, use this time to play THE GAME, and not the AH. Or else buy a stock option game and not a basketball one, or play the real markets if you are very good (like most of the OS community) and become real rich
