Tips on flipping cards on market?

[CloudCrew1992]

I've tried to find cards and flip them but can only seem to find cards with very minimal profit to be made and most of the time I end up taking a loss on the card. Anyone got some tips to help a rookie out?

Buy low, consider 5% tax, sell for profit. There's really no secret on which players to buy but I have had the best success in the 2-3K range selling for 4-5K.

It seems a lot harder to flip cards right now than it was when the game first came out. The first few weeks I was able to buy cards for 10k and flip them for 15-18k within 10 minutes. Now the buy now prices seem to be a lot closer to the sell now prices, which means profits are a lot smaller.

If I were you I would always focus on popular players, on popular teams, because they sell a lot faster. I probably made between 200k-300k alone on Hanley Ramirez because he would sell so quickly. Also, I would avoid relievers and closers. They seem to not sell quickly at all.

Totally agreed, the market has definitely tightened up for me over the past couple of days.

I checked the market and didn't really see any 2k cards that were listed with a price that doubled the buy order price. You may not be listing them as the lowest price, though. I don't think I have the patience to wait for a card to sell like that but it's worth a try.

Like someone else mentioned it is a lot different from when it first came out. It's a lot tighter and you are lucky to make 1-2K on a 7-8 K investment.

Buy players that you predict are going to get a ratings increase soon.
