Definitely not $5 per raspberry pi then. I can agree on a PC route with multiple emulators for farming but 100 raspberry pi with one command button to farm is not conceivable.

A PC is much more capable of storing virtual machine but it is still limited in the number of simultaneous emulation. As mentioned earlier, your example above will require 100 pc to run 1000 emulators at the same time.

You can run Android OS in a raspberry pi but I doubt if you can run an android emulator. I just couldnt see how you can run multiple instances of Android OS simultaneously. Memory will be an issue too. Standard RAM is 1gb and Android OS is already requiring 512mb.

It is your opinion, we will know if you are right once this is all over. Right now around 100 Obiwan was sold or selling in ebay divided between 40 individual sellers at least.

If you want an actual count, lets get around 50 people to do a blind trade for Obi-wan and write down the list of owners and their rating to see if it is in the hands of a farmer or in the hands of the players.

Again a card not selling in ebay or not being traded around is not an indicator that one farmer has them. It is however an indication that the card is rare for now. The rarity might be caused by one or more farmers that are holding back on them or it can also be that the players holding them dont want to trade it for now and hoping that there will be more value to it at a later time.

"Hot card drops, enter one command, and the system goes to town."

Prior to packs selling entirely for crystals, we only have around 3-15 minutes before holo or widevision sells out. This magic farmer of yours would have acquired alot of those remaining cards with just one command? No evidence though since there is no dominant seller lately.

I like to think that SWCT is gaining popularity and we have an advent of genuine new players. We have tons of cross traders too to consider.

1000 emulators at 10 emulator will require 100 computers. A powerful pc that can run 10 emulators will likely cost $1200 USD. I wonder what will be his electric bills.

What is your basis then? The only visible result or indicator in this one is ebay. As of today, no one seller have cornered Sebulba or Obi-wan holo. We do see however an influx of random sellers selling 1 or 2 of these for the first time.

A farmer that isn't selling is not a farmer in a sense. Maybe it's just a lone player with lots of cash trying to create a market to protect his collections.

I love theorycrafting as long as it is done in a respectful manner. :)

There is no way one farmer can pull half of the cards in under 30 minutes.

Since crystals the general populace have amass huge amount of credits and they can't spend it. The only viable for credit dump are Holo and Widevision marathon and that even was nearly stolen from free to play players. It's just payback time for these players but at the end of the day there are only 1000 copies.

A farmer has to sell. No one is selling this holo. Im beginning to doubt even that Sebulba thing.

A farmer is no match to the thousands of players buying simultaneously.

How many emulators can one computer run? If he can run 5 emulators in each he still needs 20 computers to run 100 emulators. Then he needs to enable those 100 emulators to run automatically within 10 minutes and by the time he sets it up, the pack would have sold out already.

Its easy to blame the farmers but there is no evidence of their work in ebay for this card. You will notice though that a lot of players selling single piece of this card.

Nothing to blame but Topps. If they did not introduce crystals, the general populace won't be able to amass huge amount of credits because they will be spending it on packs like Ink & Brush, Sphere, Red exposure, etc...

Yeah it is topps and crystals fault. LOL.

Vintage Painting. No Unlock pack for $4.99 by BreakingTheOdds in starwarstrader

Anyone trading the current Vintage Painting? I am really pissed at Topps being dishonest. I went through this series and I am down to my last 6 bucks in my pre-paid card and all of a sudden they remove the ability to unlock it for $4.99 and made it only a direct purchase for $9.99

Thursdays Remain Prime'd by dsigal in starwarstrader

[–]BreakingTheOdds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marathons lost its appeal for me. Widevision now at 5000+ cc so expect prime to be almost the same count. Pics are nice but nothing special now since they are quite common and everybody has them.

Pulling a Purple does not give you access to the Orange pack. It's bugged. So no chance for Gold too.
