    Your Best Snipes/Steals in the AH

    Im wondering what peoples best buys on the AH are. My best so far has to be the Amethyst Magic for ~43,000 MT fully badged out and with 40 contracts.

    when ruby olajuwon was going for some 80,000 mt i found one for 57k fully badged with 30 contracts.

    i almost won a steph curry ruby the other day for 16,000 coulda flipped that nice.. but instead found a amy kobe for 28,000.

    on christmas day i completed my magic and pelicans set all with buying every person for 500 mt.. even bronze players.

      I did the same thing with the Magic and Pelicans. Cost me less than 10k for each collection. I couldn't believe it.

      Picked up Ruby Hardaway for 14k last night. And could have had either Amy Magic or Kobe for about 40k, but went with the Ruby Kobe for 32k to have a little left in the reserve. He was fully badged though, and had 12 contracts.

      Oh, I got Ruby Josh Smith for 9k, and that has been my favorite player since. He is a monster.

        Can someone explain to me why the Magic and Thunder seem to be nearly impossible to collect? I have every other current team, but those two, the bronzes are almost always over 2K each. For some reason they are super rare? Or are there a few people determined to corner the market on them?

          Magic is expensive because Historic Shaq is a very desirable player and to a much smaller extent, Sapphire Grant isn't too shabby either.

          Thunder is expensive because Current reward is a Ruby.

            well the magic current collection was a hell of a lot more about 2 months ago but that one is expensive because sapphire grant hill is a beast of a card and might as well be a ruby or even amy imo.

            the thunder collection is expensive because the reward is ruby ricky pierce. He is the only ruby reward for completing current nba team collections i believe. imo ricky pierce jumper always hard to get down. get the sapphire grant hill.. you won't be sorry.

                until mid-december sapphire Frank Brickowski auctions ended regularly between 130 and 200k MT .
                I flipped 5 of them for over 350k profit, my best snipe was one for 8k BIN that sold for 165k.

                  nice bro I was only able to steal one of those Brickowski for 26k who went for 120k in the end.

                  Another good snipe was a Sapph J-Smoove for 6k just before Lockdown packs came with the Ruby version. He went for 48k in the end.

                  Too bad that the market crashed so hard and there is not much value for some cards.

                    I know there are a lot of people who plays the AH well on this forum, so another question is if you are guilty of inflating the players value for profit. For example, I may or may not be guilty of jacking up Eddie Johnson's value from low 20K back in October to 50- 60K for a good 2 months on Xbox. Sapphire Barbosa and AC Green were the most expensive Suns player for a while, I may also have something to do with it.

                      i have figured out auction house pretty well.. and could do better if i really wanted to sit there for a few more minutes... i just do a lot of searching and look at what cards are going for how long... if i can undercut you before your auction ends.. then thank you for putting such a high price lol...

                      i play mycareer to buy cards anyway so it don't matter.... i'm sitting at 695 beat all dominations and on verge of level 6 blacktop.

                      just pulled gold victor oladipo on blacktop today!!!! yes!

                      best snipe i ever pulled was an earl monroe i found for 10,000 and flipped to 30,0000 whoooooo!!!

                        Yeh I had to move from sniping Sapphires to Rubies this past fortnight just because so many cards became so worthless.

                          I don't know if it qualifies as a snipe, but last night I found an Emerald Klay Thompson with a diamond shoe that gives him +9 Open Shot Mid (to a 94), +9 Open Shot 3 (to a 99), and +9 Defensive Consistency (to a 97).

                          Because his defense was already pretty good, with that 99 3pt and 94 mid, I think he's my new backup to Kiki. I'll take that for 12k.
