FIFA 23 - OVERPRICED SELLING

Overpriced Selling

What is Overpriced Selling?

Overpriced selling is a whole trading method around the concept of Lazy Listing. It’s just listing popular and in-demand cards for higher prices than they are and hoping to get some sales.

This method is originally from the German Fifa community, they started to use this at the early stages of FIFA 18 and improved it through different tricks over the past 2 years. It’s a great method for quick coins on a rising market and strong with some long-term investments.

When to use this method?

That’s the tricky part here which can make the difference between a good and a bad method. This method works best on a rising market as everything you buy will eventually rise. A holding market is also very decent, there's barely a risk of losing coins and you can relist every hour for the same prices. A down-trending market is the worst time to use this and we recommend avoiding it during a dropping market.

You can find the current market situation in every daily update post, it's always one of the first parts. If you are still not sure if you can use this method in the current market, feel free to just ask me.

How to select the right players?

First of all, there isn’t a set plan of “perfect players”. All you do is aim for the most hyped, most popular, and most in-demand cards in the current market. Also important to mention is that this method is exclusively for Special Cards but you could give it a try with Gold Cards if the current market allows such a situation.

Good tools to find these are on Futbin. The popular section is the easiest way to find the current most popular cards, but be careful of any inflated cards. It’s still important to grab good deals ideally at a low point to make the most profit with the least risk.

There's also a smaller Fire icon on the Futbin Player Page (like 3rd last of the toolbar). That shows the most popular cards since the first day. I haven’t worked out how it counts exactly but the list is very accurate to what I experienced in FIFA. You find some good cards through that list too!

After that, you ideally fill your whole transfer list with cards to relist every hour, the perfect method for people with 1-2h each day. Some of the German traders who perfectionated the method are working in office jobs and can relist it the whole day.

Also worth mentioning, it's recommended to spread your buys across multiple cards, ideally only one of each. That allows you to cover more of the market and reduce risks if a card drops.

How to sell them?

Exactly like explained in the Lazy Listing guide.

All tricks explained there are working for this method! I even know some German Traders who specifically aimed to get 100k deals by listing cards 100k over the normal prices.

Try them out and find your way to make the most out of this method.

Extra notes

Mix with other Methods

This method is another method that easily works with other techniques. As an example, you can try out some chemistry-style flipping and mix it with overpriced selling to get a tiny bit more out of your flips. These make the difference between a good and a great trader! Buying at low points -> selling with appealing chemistry styles -> max profit.

The past year also showed some French traders trying out Tech Avion mixed with Overpriced Selling, that’s also a very nice combination!

Mixing with Rarity

Most of the popular cards also have a high supply, which makes Overpriced Selling a bit tougher. Finding popular but also rare cards can help too.

Knowing when to sell

As the Fut market changes quickly and some stuff is just not predictable, it's very common that you end up in a situation with your cards stuck on your transfer list while facing a potentially decreasing market. That’s another common mistake with this method, sometimes you must move forward and take the break-even or tax loss to just free up coins.

As a general rule, if you are in overall profit and you can escape any risk, then just sell and take the easy way. If you are unsure, you can also ask us!

Less time consuming

As said a bit above, it's one of the least time-consuming methods. You could theoretically just grab 100 cards every morning and relist through the whole day.

January/February until the end

This method has its peak efficiency from around January/February until the end of the game. That’s due to the fact of more calm days but also more special cards being out of packs already. You are facing a tiny bit of a risk with any new content/promo but that’s something you always must consider while trading.

Summary

- Trading Method based on the concept of Lazy Listing
