Anyone else amazed that people don't understand 10%?

It seems like it's an epidemic of bad math this year in particular. Last year you'd see someone posting diamonds for under 4400 every so often (or other level cards for losses), but this year it's an unreal amount.

I just noticed it doesn't state the sale amount when you click on the auction card screen, which it should. This coincidently benefits development if people get less PP for their cards.

FYI, the quicksale price also serves as a minimum sale price. The tax won't take you under that amount. If you sell a diamond for 4k, you get 4k.

As a F2P player, I will post cards even if the profit is low, or even at a break even with the quick sale, just to put them on the market for someone else. I always get at least the QS value, so why not help someone else out.

I rarely bump into the 50 auction max, unless I just opened a bunch of packs. If I need a couple K more for a specific purchase, I may QS instead, but if I am an accumulation mode, then 24 hours isn't that big of a deal.

Yup, that's kind of my point though. You're better off QSing than posting a diamond for 4100. If you put a max sale price of a diamond at 4399, you'll be amazed at how many buy now you'll see priced at that or below. I just looked and there's 8 pages of them.

Huh, ok. Maybe they're trying to do a solid for the community in case anyone wants to buy? But yeah, that is not very rational

Diamond Cards flowed like a river last night from missions. So 8 pages is not bad.

Why? You get 4000 either way. You get it faster by QS, is that why it's "better"?

The way I see it, with QS you're printing money and creating inflation. With AH you're taking someone's money, making them have less of it and thus giving you more of a currency advantage overall.

If you sell a diamond for 4100 you'll still get 4000 for it. You'll never get less than the QS value. All it means is that you've given someone else a good deal.

That's good to know - I always thought it was dumb for people to sell at 4000 or 1000 but that means that it makes no difference so that makes more sense now.

Ok, first off selling a card on the auction is not taking someone's money. It's an arms-length exchange of goods that both parties have decided is in their best interest.

Secondly, a scenario. Let's say a buyer has 1500PP and wants a gold card.

Option 1, all sellers either QS or put card up for 1111PP. Buyer buys card at 1111PP. Buyer now has card and 389PP. Seller has 1000PP.

Option 2, some sellers put card up for 1000PP. Buyer buys card for 1000PP. Buyer now has card and 500PP. Seller has 1000PP.

Which option is best for the buyer? For the seller?

Thirdly, with option 2, the card is still in the game. Quick selling a card removes it from the game forever.

The only benefits to QS is that one gets the PP sooner and that it can be useful to clear out duplicates because of the 50 card AH limit.
