28. What to Snipe For

People are often unsure of what max BIN they should set when sniping. In my experience, setting a minimum profit of 1,000 is a good strategy. The following process/formula outlines exactly what you should be sniping for with these parameters.

When sniping, follow this process:

1. Pick a player/filter.
2. Find that player/filter’s cheapest card on the market.
3. Set your max bin to these prices according to what the cheapest card is. The following prices are based on (.95 x cheapest) – 1,000, where (.95 x cheapest) covers your tax and – 1,000 gets you a minimum of 1,000 coin profit.
   – if cheapest is 2k, snipe for 900

   – if cheapest is 3k, snipe for 1.8k
   – if cheapest is 4k, snipe for 2.8k
