Thing is like this exact thing has happened on every online game with an auction house since world of warcraft

Lol I asked somebody else to give me cliffs on the WoW auction house problem and didn’t receive a reply so maybe I should just google it myself.

Not much to it. People looking adamantly to snipe good prices. People looking to corner markets. Bots out there looking to snipe. Just a lot of similarities.

I’ll probably ignore the account names as much as possible while I’m actually doing it to retain some objectivity, but lol I already had a few memorized like 0x869…28 (reaction) and just Ctrl+F’ing through this subset of sub-40 times I sliced out obv has that account popping hard.

wat

[Lawnmower_Man]

There are only 2054 TTPs under 40.0 in this data out of 581,073 purchases.

They gifted a pack to people who had made a marketplace purchase, and that card is now worth somewhere around $500 and also looks cool as fuck. The name of that set is THE GIFT. I mean imagine if Coinbase just decidd to gift everyone half an ETH or something for making 1 transaction. That company exists and it’s called Dapper Labs.

[Lawnmower_Man]

Yeah I’m feeling like it will be possible to fingerprint some of these really well, possibly showing that many of them are the same bot operator (or maybe not). We have the times of operation, reaction distribution, and could add in their strategies for targeting cards later.

I hope the MP won’t be down till 9PST :(

Yeah this is our time to not get beat out on everything by Josh. early morning crew

I’m pretty sure I know the reason he does it this way. He’s a very well known power buyer, in that he picks a card he thinks is undervalued and buys a ton of it. People follow his trades (and others like him) and try to get in on the run. If you can find someone in the middle of making a move like this it’s free money. Basically, you can buy while they are and sell after they’ve driven the price up - often you can even sell it to them if you want almost no risk. I have him and a few others bookmarked and did it a couple times for some quick $.

I’m assuming this guy noticed that people were doing this and by preloading his buys, he can complete almost all them before anyone can notice and take advantage. I actually noticed that a few days ago that he was doing 30+ buys in a single minute and thought he must have started using a bot to auto-buy - guess I now know his method.

This might be a really bad idea, but could UP do this as a team? Find a moment that we think is underpriced and make a coordinated effort to buy every one available under $x price.

I don’t think I’m gonna be awake so if anybody wants to buy me a PACK that’d be great, I’ll pay you back next Tuesday.

[clovis8]

Don’t worry the drop ain’t happening.

[6ix]

I thought you were out?

[anon29622970]

I actually think it will happen this morning. They’ve updated from 9 AM PT at the earliest to now saying the drop is happening at 9 AM.

[clovis8]

I am just here for the absurdity at this point.

Are we actually certain they give a shit about anything happening? It was a revelation to me, considering I unusually haven’t read the entire thread yet, that we don’t have confirmation botting the marketplace is against the rules.

My take now is I don’t understand why they’d provide all the API stuff if they didn’t expect people to code bots. And ‘market manipulation’ feels like it’d be inapplicable considering they’re not actually making a market with an order book.

[anon29622970]

Imagine being as obsessed with this thing as you are and you’re not even participating.

Congrats on being only the 2nd person I’ve ever put on ignore. Bye!

Just to clarify, this post wasn’t meant as an endorsement of this idea, but to provoke discussion on the topic. Similar to my posts about what goofy, imjosh, and others were doing with computer programs last night.
