Mass Bidding
Added 2021-09-08 11:40:50 +0000 UTCWhat is Mass Bidding?
Mass Bidding is the idea to bid as many cards as possible from the same category or even the specific card. Compared to normal bidding this allows you to win more cards at the same time and you can focus on other parts of the market in the meanwhile.
Key Times
This method works every day and every hour but there are key times when this works even better. The casual players usually list cards for open bids throughout the day and especially when packs are being opening. That allows this method to peak around big pack openings like Rewards or Lighting Rounds.
It's also important to mention that open bids run for at least 1h. After this 1h, you will see multiple cards with many open bids running out and that’s the time to use the mass bidding technique. Usually, you can win 30-50 out of 50 bids.
During prime pack openings I was able to bid on 50 cards and all were expiring in less than 10 minutes again. That pushes me almost to 300 bids per hour.
Key Players
This is where this method gets spicy and interesting. Finding the right player makes a big difference and can turn your profit from 10% up to 50% or higher.
Ideally, you find a card that has no bidding competition and solid sales. Previously I used some fullback fodder cards because these are not the first choice for many but they are still selling high and fast. I used to win cards for 2k and was able to sell them for 4k later again. These were some super short coin doubling opportunities and something I used a lot to get around on the market without spending too much time.
Summary
- Ideally during supply times
- The right player selection makes the difference
- It's easy to repeat and useful all year
