There are certainly players, maybe many of them, who don't understand how the tax system works. We've seen evidence right on this board.
1. The quick-sell price is always the minimum you will receive for selling a card.
2. Since there is a 10% tax on sales, you will not receive anything extra by selling the card for equal to or less than 110% of the quick-sell price*.
3. Being that it's a competitive game, and understanding the time value of money, it really makes no sense to offer a card for less than 110% of quick-sell. You could have the same amount of PP immediately rather than wait for a buyer to come along.
4. Another issue is whether ineligible bids, like a 26 bid for a live card that's been promoted to Silver or above, will be honored. No, they won't. The 26 bid would be meaningless and should be scrubbed.
Last but not least, there are a lot of speculators out there making low-ball bids on cards only to re-list them for substantially more. They are not whales, they are sharks who take advantage of other players' impatience (sometimes mine included). Remember this next time you're tempted to fill a buy order that's less than 110% of quick-sell. You might only be helping one of the sharks pad his or her point total through card arbitrage. They usually make offers above 110% of quick-sell, but not always.
*price thresholds at or below which you will only receive the quick-sell price (and nothing more, but also nothing less):
Iron card 6 PP
Bronze card 28 PP
Silver card 111 PP
Gold card 1,111 PP
Diamond card 4,444 PP
Perfect card 22,222 PP
