Lazy Listing
Added 2021-09-08 11:10:47 +0000 UTCWhat is Lazy Listing?
Lazy Listing is the idea to sell cards for people who don’t want to search for the cheapest card and just buy the next best one.
It's super straightforward, there’s no extra stuff you have to do, its just listing cards at higher prices and waiting/hoping for a sale. And even though this is so basic and simple to do, it's still one of the most underrated things you can do on the FUT market!
I always lazy list my cards 10% above my aimed sell price and I get a lot of sales that way. Think around the 10-15% is the sweet point of making enough profit with fast enough sales.
Benefits and downsides of Lazy Listing
If you keep relisting and get sales, you end up with a more and faster profit. You also don’t forget cards somewhere in your club unless your transfer list is already filled. These two points are already that good that I just have to recommend a lazy listing, it makes a huge difference throughout the year! It's also not that uncommon to catch a random high on a card and sell him on that.
There’s just one downside to this method. While you list your cards, you can’t change the prices and sometimes the FUT Market changes super fast and your card price is outdated. But looking at the risk/reward potential, it's always worth trying than just letting a card sit in your club and do nothing.
Different Tactics
There are a few tricks you can use for lazy listing which can help your sales.
10% Rule
That’s my rule. Whenever I have one of each card and want to lazy list them, I just put 10% on top. It's not massive but the sales are coming faster and the profit is decent. You can set the 10% from your aimed selling price or the current market price if you don’t aim for a specific sell price.
Number Swap
Also, a super basic method to trick people a bit. Works the best with cards above 100k.
You can do something like instead of 124k you can try to sell the card for 142k. Some people fall for it and you can grab 1-2 nice sales. Some people even go that far that they list a card for 340k instead of 240k to grab a nice 100k lazy buyer. I managed to sell a roughly 20x100k deal in FIFA 21 but some people seem to hit like 4-5 per week! These are huge coin boosts.
Fake Cheap
Another basic trick to sell cards works the best if you are selling a bigger amount of the same card.
You aim to get a larger list of cards around the same price and then one to be a tiny bit cheaper than the other ones. That will stick out and it catches some lazy buyers.
As an example, your card is worth 15k and you aim to lazy list around 20k. Throwing a bunch of 20-23k lazy listings and 1x 19k lazy listing between all the others can help the one 19k to sell faster as lazy buyers think that’s a cheap one.
Appealing Numbers
This is a bit more psychological. Some numbers are more appealing and people seem to pull the trigger easier.
The most common are 3, 7, and 9, I personally only use 9. I use it that way that I list a card instead of 60k at 59k. That 59k seems much cheaper than 60k even though it's just 1k. Even better if it's 99k and 100k.
Summary
- List your cards every day
- Don’t let your cards do nothing
- Try some selling tricks to boost sales.
One last thing to say here: In the end, it's just luck. You cant guarantee any lazy buyer and some people just get lucky with the sales while others don’t.
Avoid listing the same cards for the same price and try out some of the tricks above, that should help 99% of the time!
