Re: "Snipes" Thread

you must spend all day searching everybody up lol

nope, I dont spend much time at all. I have a method....but it also takes a lot of luck too. some days are much better than others, as are some times of day. yesterday I didnt really get anything valuable. I did snipe about 6-8 silvers for 500.....no valuable ones but still a win-win because I sold them all for between 1500-3000 depending on the card. I sniped at least 10 good badges, those I didnt sell, I used for myself. some of the badges I sold for 3k-4k. the last snipe I made the most off of was day before yesterday.....got Wiggins for 500 and sold for 8k, which was cheap considering the next highest price for him that day was 10k.

Re: "Snipes" Thread

Just because you might get so many players for 500 MT, it doesn't necessarily mean they all go for that

what I am saying is....once I started sniping, there was no reason for me to rush to pay more for any card. true, KG may not go for that....but I surely didnt pay that for him and didnt need to. I sniped like 3 Lavine and 3 Ross and made a lot off of them. some players I have not been able to snipe and for those, I paid more for. it just so happened, I sniped KG so he was one I never needed to really put out for. the only ones I did on BK was Joe and Brook to finish the collection. and I got them both for less than 8k total...which I easily made off two Lavine cards.

Re: "Snipes" Thread

i sold Casspi for 8.5k a few nights ago

another valuable one is shannon brown

darius miller's market shoots through the roof sometimes too

I had Casspi yesterday but his value wasnt good yesterday. I dumped him for about 2k...but I only paid 500 for him. if I have coin to burn, I just buy em cheap and sit on em til the value goes up. I have never gotten a shannon brown or darius miller except from a pack opening. I never see them for cheap!

you happened to catch it at the right time. good snipe. although I need Deandre for MT, so you have an extra one I assume?

Ya I look up Jordan, Crawford, and klay when I get a chance and hope to get a steal but I only got Jordan from doing that, and I did but I sold it for 35k but I originally bought him for 30k (best center in the game)

I do this all the time when i get on; i check if i can steal DeAndre, Crawford, Reddick, Jonas V, Hibbert etc.

BTW i was lucky with DeAndre the other week, got him for 8500MT but am keeping him for RTTP.

Anyone notice Tony Allen went up in price, rare to find him under 10k nowadays, you could of picked him up for around 4k before.

Players like Batum, Conley, David West, and Lou Williams have shot up in price. I always search for certain players who I know are worth a lot to see if I can get a nice little snipe.

Also, FYI, Tony Allen isn't nearly as useful as he once was. With online being the way it is this year, he's just another wing that can't shoot. His defenseive ratings really don't mean anything, sadly. If you really want a lock down defender at the wing, Get Thabo instead. He has slightly worse defensive stats, but he has a decent 3. Plus, he only goes for around 1k compared to Allen who goes for 10k.

Thabo is a good, cheap option in lace of Tony Allen...although I will say he is nowhere near as athletic.

There is definitely a benefit from the athleticism Allen brings...and he gets to the FT line a lot. Also, you can make some jumpers with him...and I am always hit-or-miss with Thabo's release.

Re: "Snipes" Thread

Set the auction filter at 500 minimum/maximum buyout for silver cards and Gerald Green pops up. Sold him for 16750 MT. This was on xbox one.

I was ecstatic lol

I had a chance to snipe Tony twice but missed on him the first time, got him the 2nd. so I only paid 500 for him...but I have to somewhat disagree, in domination he was very useful....I put him in the line up with Conley and DT the ballhandlers and created a ton of turnovers/steals. He cant shoot but in the higher end of domination, I didnt shoot threes anyway.....just pounded the ball inside. So Allen was very useful to me. Now in other modes outside of domination, he's probably useless.
