EA Buying Players?

Chappy

Just bought the game and have been trying to make some starter coins. Have been buying 1 player at 700 a piece and flipping for 1500 a piece.

He had been selling between 1-4 per cycle, until yesterday in the early afternoon, the 15 I had left all sold at once.

I thought it was odd but didn't think too much of it. I bought about 30 more of him and started posting them again.

They began selling 1-4 per cycle again until just a short while ago, I sold all 20 of the last 20 I had, similar to yesterday.

Has anyone else experienced this? Surely I didn't get lucky enough to have all 15 of my cards sell at once, followed by all 20 of them selling in a single cycle the following day. Is EA buying cards or something?

People buying for the Marquee Match ups maybe?

there was an sbs requiring 82 or 83 rating i dont remember and needed an italian. he was easy target for it, thus a lot went into the sbc he became more rare.

supply went down and demand went up

That leads to 20 being bought all at once on one specific cycle, when 1-4 were being bought per cycle before? I assume it will be the same way if I buy more and post them. I know I bought a bunch more yesterday and they were going 1-4 per cycle again,

Interesting. It appears his BIN price is up to 2000. I had no idea, as I'm at work.

Does this explain why it happened yesterday as well?

Futbin has teams for sbcs and people just blindly follow.

There's always a higher rate of sales in the evening compared to the rest of the day. Maybe the time of day is a factor?
There's are also a lot of people speculating just before new SBCs are released at 6pm. As mentioned, marquee matchups were released today.

I don't think there's anything more sinister than that. Just keep doing what you're doing, and enjoy the profit
