Re: stubs glitch

I'm on board with the idea that it was just the servers removing those players from the market. I don't know why or how it works, no clue actually, but I find it impossible to beleive that it was just one guy or even multiple people just wasting dozens of millions of stubs on this stuff.

Exactly..someone with that kind of money would be smart enough not to waste it on stubs in a videogame

Re: stubs glitch

Were there any theories that became more than that with this? Was it just one rogue guy being crazy or was it a glitch or what? I'd love to know more.

Supposedly there still is or was a glitch on PS3 which generated millions of stubs for some gamers. Not sure if it's related but around the same time either the same gamers or another group started selling stubs for cash. They transfer the stubs to the buyers via marketplace orders.

I'm not sure if this would even help but a possible counter to this might be to have the SCEA server post sell orders when there's no activity on a particular card. This way, one can't post a "common" card for 100K as the best price available as easily.

Maybe they can also limit the amount you can sell for certain tiers.

That's what I think happened also. Could have been that a patch or update would have taken too long or been too late to stop the stub sellers from cashing in, so SDS took every player that could be cleared easily and put up massive roadblocks in the form of millions of stubs to prevent or at least slow these guys down.

That would explain why it happened to the phantoms (people don't know they have any since they don't show up in your collection, so fewer will be listed) and cards that have been added to the game since release (same idea, fewer cards out there, fewer listed, easy to clear for cheap).

After the mystery buyer dropped millions of stubs with me, I figured it had to be SDS since even with a glitch, normal people wouldn't have done that.

Re: stubs glitch

Oh well. I at least sold one for 99,999 stubs, so I am set even if it is pretty much over.

Fascinating stuff. the PS3 and PS4 markets are the same right? Like everyone interacts in the same Marketplace, so I could understand this.

Yes. You can also use your team on PS3 if you wanted to.

Re: stubs glitch

Over? Anyone sell anything lately?

I just canceled all my orders, just checking in one last time to see if this is still going on at any level

[Cezar24]

Re: stubs glitch

Nope, nothing major in the last week. Just some mini clears up to 20k or so. Now I'm waiting for the stub sellers/SDS/crazy rich person to move onto equipment. It's an untapped resource with many items only 1-5 cards away from clearing. If it ever starts up again, I see it going there.

Re: stubs glitch

i sold my first ever F.A for 35K last night......i have a few ranging from 25K - 80k but they been there for about a month and last night i was playing RTTS and low and behold my stubs went up and i checked what happened, a FA SOLD!! amazing i thought id never get lucky like some of you, tho technically this is twice the last week in a half, last week i seen brooks robinson going for 200k(only like 2 being sold) so i decided to list him just to see for 40k (i bought him around the legends pack time so i got him for 10K) and he sold! since then his price has stayed pretty high, but it seems like this is still goin on once in a while!! cmon hit agaain DD toothfairy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: stubs glitch

Same here. Just had a Juan Francisco sell at 499,999 stubs. Glad I left them all up. Was thinking about pulling them the other day.

[biggio7]

Re: stubs glitch

Just sold; Andrew Albers for 25K and Jose Valdez for 10.5K

The Albers sold as soon as I put it up.

Re: stubs glitch

Just sold Cueto for 100K!

Re: stubs glitch

Are all nights like this or am I just lucky tonight?

I sold Jerry Blevins for 15999 and Joe Thatcher for 6K

Or is it just random?

[Cezar24]

Re: stubs glitch

It's pretty random. A crazy night a few weeks back and tonight have been my most profitable. The key is to catch the guy when he's clearing a player (buying all available). I've had multiple 499,999 stub sell orders filled this way.

Were the players you were listing Legends? or is he buying every Joe blow for that pice and your listing Chris Coghlan for 499999?
