      Because people strive to get these players, It's kind of the whole point of this mode. Keep in mind MJ and others have only been out for around 2 weeks, but in MJ's case there are around 9 versions of him. To keep people playing this crappy mode he too will have to become common. A couple of 85-86 Jordan were going around 100k today

              Not a huge snipe but I got d will for 900 and Joe Johnson for 1100. These players are usually cheap and sell around 2-3 anyways. I am trying to complete the Nets collection but it's frustrating because kg and plumlee are the last two and are so expensive. I can afford them but what's the point if I barely come out on top with the reward of 25k. Same goes for the raptor collection. Just need valenciunis and Louis williams. You'd think those guys are kobe and shaq for those prices smh. Assuming people take into consideration the fact that others are trying to complete collections so let's jack up the prices!

                I'm pretty sure there's people out there who monopolize certain players. For example, they'd have every tony allen, mason plumlee and louis williams so they can set the price. Then they'd check all day to see if a new tony/mason/louis card shows up and pick it up. They're probably counting on the fact that people who buy their cards usually just get them to complete a collection and afterwards want to get rid of them fast so they'll put them up for less mt than the monopoly guy who at that point just gets them back and makes a profit.

                Hope that makes sense. Basically, monopoly guy sells for 10k, buyer sells back for let's say an average of 8k, monopoly guy buys it, sells again for 10k and so on... makes a profit. I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure there's people doing this.

                  No you're absolutely right, happens in FIFA UT as well, they're called 'pricefixers', although FIFA has the person's gamertag alongside the auction, so it's blatantly obvious who's doing the pricefixing. But on top of that, I can see why people do it, it's the incentive to make massive profit.

                        It's there for a few reasons, mainly to prevent price fixing and make people want to buy packs with VC.

                          LeBron for 16k on PS4!! I was planning to buy him for 50k, then saw the 16k one, so I bought that. With my 34k savings, I opened one 6k All-Time Scoring pack and got Ruby Dirk!

                              Jordan up for 875k... I wouldn't consider it a snipe by any means because you can't flip it for a profit, but if you're impatient, it's the cheapest I've seen so far

                                On PS4 people are bidding at 1 million.
