CNIZZOTE said:Bro, according to your post it takes an hour to make 180k (18 sets x 10k at low end). You have 50m. 50m divided by 180k is 277.78 hours divided by a 40 hour work week is 7 weeks. That’s real work. To put that into perspective the average American makes 57k per year or approximately 1,100 per week. Based on your required 7 weeks, you have spent $7,700 of your time to get 50m coins. That’s crazy.
I love the math. Please not an invitation to do the math on me.
Anything we can do to get ready for Team Builders 3 or is it too late?
Buy when there is a lot of supply. Sell when there is a lot of demand. After a few weeks, you'll be able to feel it.
What drives supply/demand? Supply comes when there is a next better card or promo. The last promo will meaningfully drop in price. Glitches also drive supply - see Terrell yesterday where you could buy that card for $550k.
What drives demand? New cards. Timing your buy of the set pieces of future releases is critical.
As in all things, there's no guarantee so there is an element of investing in this.
For instance, we know that 90 champions required 5 87s. Intuitively a 91 champion should require 5 88s. Everyone is moving on from 88s right now so the prices have tanked. In the next few days, you're going to be able to buy these cards for like 80k. That's a good buy to use in future champion sets. In particular, AKA 87s are selling for more than 88 AKAs. When you see unnatural things like this, you take advantage of it. In this case, sell 87s to buy 88s for the 91s that come on Monday or the following.

BTW, simply prebuilding sets no longer works. You need to use smart market timing to buy the set pieces at the right prices. Just buying them ahead of time will cause you to lose many coins. Many people just pre-build cards and try and sell them immediately. If youre one of the first like 5-10, it works. After that, the supply created by all of the pre-builders will depress the price. The first 5 minutes is essentially a crowd of people trying to get out of the theater all at once. Sure, it works for a few, but most people die in the fire.
twitchtaxpro said:i can make about 500k in an hour if i really try. i got up to 50m coin binder value and then stopped caring. the game just isn't good. some of the power sets to build right now are breakouts, gridiron guardians, and team builders. there are also some lowkey smaller once you can build and make a lot fast. there are still some 82 team builders you can make in 1 minute and profit 10k on. i usually build 20 cards and then list them on 1 hour listings and i'd say 15-18 of the cards i build sell for a 10-40k profit.
teach me your ways lol
Easy example: Sold Crosby for 400k a couple hours before pt3 and just bought him back at 270k.

on a day like today i find it best to prebuild sets that will be expensive next week, especially aka and totw
I sold Deebo for 534500 and then repurchased him for 400000. Last night, I purchased the Ravens’ fullback for 315000 and later sold him for fear. I spent $25 on Team of the Week packs, but I missed the early glitch, which likely explains why my packs were disappointing. I won a couple of MUT draft runs, and long story short, I had enough fear to buy every pack in the fear store, and I did. However, my team is now worse than when I started investing in Fear. What the heck! Sorry for the rant, but this game treats its players terribly! Don't do what I do !
Odog123 said:So true sir. Even for someone like me who loves the data and the numbers I don’t want it to be the sole or primary reason I log on.
To contribute a few cents of my own, I would push people to look outside of sets for coins. EA seems to want sets to be a primary way people make coins. Evident by things like their changes to the AH, LTDs from sets and the new redux system. I had a lot of success working the market as a contrarian. If Warren Buffet has taught us anything it is that this approach can be very effective.
Great thread and responses
LTDs from sets??! how???
bigblue21 said:LTDs from sets??! how???
I mean the AKA promo set with a chance at the vintage/LTD version. Below is my rant on the subject. Probably best to skip it.
By offering a chance at a LTD from a set EA offers a way for those who do not want to spend $$$ to get a LTD. A big complaint from NMS players is their inability to access this limited content. They offer a gamble. These benefit EA in a lot of ways. They offer engaging content. Meaning people are spending their time on this. The implication with engaging is that there is some level of enjoyment in it for users but that’s not accurate to what is represented in the metrics. Oh and don’t forget there are no probabilities listed. Which means they can change them anytime without informing anyone.

Snipe spotter on mut.exchange is nasty. If gives you a live snipe spotter. I found a champ bailey for 150k and sold him for 330k. I have made a ton of coins when I use it. (To find it just search up mut.exchange it should be the first to show up)
