I don't play FIFA, but did one of the sickest things in NHL HUT using this trick.. If anyone cares here is the story:
I was trying to sell a Sid Crosby in the first few weeks (one of the top 2 rarest cards in the game at the time) and was in a price war with another guy selling one. He was killing me at first, always having a slightly lower price than me, but it didn't take long to figure out why. Turns out he had a few accounts, and would use this to get an advantage over me (taking it down/ then putting it at lower price than mine, starting at 150 and taking if off if it didn't hit his "reserve"). Stuff like that.
Anyway, next time it went up for 150 I knew he would be sweating the end of his auction and would probably take the card down again. So I bombarded him in the last minute with 25+ different trade offers. I figured he wouldn't have enough time to reject all of them at the last second, and would be forced to sell the card this time. Just in case though, I was sure to pick random/common cards with little value hopping to get lucky and match whatever he offered himself in the trade with his 2nd account.
Anyway I'm watching the auction tick down to the last few seconds, time runs out but there is still a bidding war that's up to around 150K. Its slowing down and looks like this will pretty much be the final sale price, when suddenly the card lights up green!!! Meaning I "won" it!!
He ended up trading for a +3all card, which sold for around 3-4k at the time. I sold my 'extra" Crosby next day, putting it up at 150 starting and letting the bid war happen like it should.
This was the first and only time I've ever done it. Anyone else I would of felt bad, but I would of given anything to see the kids face when he realized what he did. The only thing that was probably better was his reaction when he saw the card up under my name a few minutes later. If your going to cheat at video games, go big or go home. Also, don't **** with the wrong person.
