Somebody sold John Clarkson for 4,001 - Page 2

Nobody's cheating. Geeze. Occums Razor, folks.

- 1 card sold in the past week
- The person who bought it put in a minimum bid and got lucky that nobody else was able to get to it in time to outbid them

If that's cheating, then dang.

There was a 4001 buy it now, it was obviously not put up on open bid and expired without anyone else bidding on it. LOL.

If it was just one card then yeah some noob listed at 4001, but there have been dozens of examples recently. So either the stats don't work correctly, some guy is opening a bunch of premium diamonds to sell for minimum price, someone is transferring cards between accounts, or we are just living in the upside down.

It seems to be more than1 card and it seems suspicious as the cards referenced in this post are worth over $50 in points.

But it can also be a glitch in the game?

Pretty clear these cards were passed between friends or maybe their own teams, doubtful anything more than that is going on here.

It's not that strange. All someone would have to do is buy another license and they were on sale last week. I own the game through both the Mac Store and Steam (on PC). It would be totally possible to pass all of my best players on my original Mac license teams to one of the new teams I gained on the PC side. Would not shock me if that were going on.

Wait, cards passing between owned teams are legal?

dkgo · 07-10-2019, 08:02 AM

No, that's why everyone in the thread is calling it cheating. It is possible though.

4001 is the lowest possible BIN price. If someone won it fairly in an auction for that price, it would mean there is 1 bidder at 4000 and another at something higher. The chances of that happening to several highly sought after historical diamonds worth over 100k each in the past couple weeks is virtually zero. The simplest explanation is cheating, not legit bargain wins.

Interesting. New license, move players, start over in iron, crush the records and competition. It’s like having a real good 18 year old in the little league World Series,
