How to buy a card

Postby Tekhartha Zenyatta » Sun Jan 19, 2020 5:55 am

Since I’m switching accounts, I wanted to sell whatever cards I had, and then buy them with the highest amount I can bid on my other account to slowly transfer all of my bank on that account. I put in a bid of 1.57 on one card but the match is automatically in favor of the one who bid just 0.01. I don’t understand..

From what I see on your only ongoing auction, you tried to sell the card at 0.06, but there was already an ask at 0.05 so the lower ask matched the bid. I matched the 0.05 ask so the 0.06 ask could match the higher bid, not sure if that was what you wanted.

I was thinking whoever bid the highest would win the card

Yes. And the player with the lowest ask is the one who sells the card.

This means that if you sell a card at 1.00 and buy it with another account at 1.00, another player can place another ask at 0.99 sell it instead. This can make transfers more difficult - you can have ask wars as well as bid wars.

Just to add, if there are more than one ask/bid 3 or more) on a card, the system would match them somehow in relation, which sometimes leads to a lower bid could match a lower ask closer. This happens sometimes. Also, you shouldn´t always bid/ask to your bank-limit in case you have to raise your bid because someone overbids you. Transfering via "low-owner-cards" (four or less owners), while reducing the chance of being underasked by another card of this kind bears the risk of someone overbids you (big), as such cards are sought-after by many players.
Best chance, but time-consuming of going uninterrupted is transfering little sums via obviously unintersting cards.
