How to earn coins?

[Kylefan48]

How do people get so many coins? I really want to build up my team without buying msp. Any suggestions?

Buy low an sell high, predict the next week collection

Re: How to earn coins?

I would keep an eye on collections in general. Many cards that don't look valuable at first look can make you some big $. Look at the guys from Troy on the auction block for instance.
1) know what cards are valuable so that when you get a seaon pack, you dont dismiss them.
2) watch new collections ... these are hot cards. I usually choose to sell mine vs. chasing a collection prize.
3) As Captain said, buy low and sell high ... This weekend, I saw a Ray Lewis that you could buy for 300K. It was gone in 2 minutes and reposted (by the buyer) for a million coins. It was the only one on the auction ... That fella stands to make 700K just becasue he was paying attention (and had some coins to play with).

I doubt that Lewis sold for a million...

It would help to actually know the market for every card. Takes a lot of time investment.
For instance, knowing that Ray Lewis' market is actually 300-450k.

If you plan to work the block to make coins you better know when you see a steal and when you don't. Until you learn that no advice will work for you.

Yeah the Lewis for 300k could make a person a quick 50-100k, but definitely not 700k. Especially with the low amount of buyers on the market.

I guess I agree about market values, but just remember that scarcity matters. One of my main targets as I started playing UT was Sean Taylor. I bought him at 300-400 (his market value two weeks ago). He then disappeared from the auctions, only to reappear in the 2 million range. I know that these cards are unlikely to sell at such an inflated price ... but if I hadn't landed my Sean Taylor earlier, I would likely jump on the next 750K Taylor card that came available worried that the 300 days are long gone. Lesson is, if you are putting the only card a certain type on the auction block, it doesnt hurt to go shopping for that cards soulmate ... within reason.

Market volatility is a huge factor and it takes balls of steel to play it.

The reason the Sean Taylor market plummeted was Eric Berry had just been released and many were selling Taylor "high" to be able to afford the better, more desired Berry. Berry, however, was and is more rare than predicted. Therefore, the Taylor market rebounded and many lost Taylor and haven't been able to get Berry.

The way I do it honestly. Buy packs with coins. Lots of things you can sell on there, it just takes time. I guess luck is also included, mine has been decent. Also buy high rated silvers at low price.

Just check the auction block. I made 150k the other day, usually justin blackmon and megatron sell for about 50k but for some reason they were up for 200k. I put both of mine up for 80k and they sold instantly. Dont always go for the biggest deal. Little profits like that are how you make coins.

You can have 20 concurrent auctions running at one time. Keep them filled.
If you flip 20 gold cards per day for 1000 each, that's 20k. That's 500k per month in nothing but cheap golds. I call it "mining for gold" because there is ALWAYS coins to be made there if you even look. Most don't even look anymore.
