NBA Top Shot - High Risk, High Reward? - Page 339

Serious POMO for not scooping up some low end SS's with my 6xx leftover dapperbux.

Looks like prices are 80-90% back to where they were the night of release. Eesh.

I’m not a skeptic, but also not 100% onboard with Top Shot. Saw my Bradley Beal /10k was going for $224. So I tossed mine on there for $220 and it sold in about 10 min. I’ll take that on $10 invested. I’m left with a Miles Bridges and Step /35k. Step is listed for $175 just to see what happens. Bridges is only like $11 so I’ll sit on that for now. If in upcoming packs I actually hit a cool moment, I may have to sit on it for a while.

Website running like crap again. I'm sure it's about to go down again. Every time I have a chance to get one and list and look to buy things it takes a crap.

They went down to one minute intervals between transactions. They obviously got a little too optimistic.

I sold mine at $500 because I couldn't take it down. When they were around $375 I listed mine for $500 and then the market came back online and someone bought mine. I thought for sure I was going to have time to continue pushing the price up as the market changed. I'm debating buying one back since it seems to be continuing to go up

Aww man it was nice having another Deni owner here. $500 ain't bad honestly I'm debating throwing it up. Not too sure if it's worth getting another one, although I can see it continuing to go up. If you look at who's buying the Deni moments it's all people stocking up for the Zion challenge. If that continues I could definitely see it holding this rocketing price

Dang, is there a way to save a moment so you don't have to go searching for it later?

I don't think so, that's a good idea though.

Ugh this marketplace shutdown better not ruin all the momentum we had. They should just set it back to 30 minutes or do 15 or something. Going from 30 to 1 was too bold
Update: we back

I only joined last week, got one pack so far sold a Domantas Sabonis Seeing Stars for 200$ so actually shouldn’t complain.

Thoug experience has been rough so far, it’s pretty much under maintenance since I joined, hope they get things done ASAP

Archangel1775 · 03-11-2021, 01:34 AM

I tried to snag a Luka and Steph the other night, it looked like it processed but nothing in my activity. I checked my email the next day and got the "didn't process" messages. Kinda sapped the motivation from me to buy the set now

boxbuster7 · 03-11-2021, 02:00 AM

Anybody know who Michael Levy is on topshot? The WSJ wrote an article about him but they didn't put his username...

Right now, the average buyer of wax spends like $400 for a box to get on average, what, $50? Then they have to list them on eBay, give up 15%, etc etc.

Point being, there is definitely a market for paying $14 to get a few unique Moments. Even if the market corrects and those Moments become only worth, on average, $10 in total, it will still make for a lot of happy collectors.

Fully agree. Im not saying topshot doesnt have value i just think at this point its not going to hold the type of value some of these clips have.

They have tons of plans to get more utility out of these moments and make them more than just a highlight.

1. They are going to be releasing a mobile game down the line that uses the moments (we have seen how valuable digital gaming assets can be).

2. The relationship with the NBA is surely going to come even more into play. Picture a message from the player attached to some of the high value moments. Or stadiums having special seating for the top 1% holders for their team.

3. Plenty of things we can't even think of right now. This team was one of the forefronts for NFT's. They have been doing them for years. They know the importance of incorporating value into the asset and they are nowhere close to finished with their innovations.

Dont hate your answer at all. fully agree. my argument isnt against the future of topshot my argument is that the current clips probably wont hold there value on most occasions even with the implementation of that game although those will help. NFT's are a big part of our future wether people like it or not.

There’s a ton of ways TS NFTs can be utilized through the NBA space. Imagine an NFT that gave you two courtside tickets to any NBA arena, whenever you wanted.

agreed. no argument here about the possibility of utility being attached to the clips. endless possibilities. but the ones right now dont have that utility so my stament still stands for the current clips. Topshot has the potential to do something big here. There is no denying that. I just dont think they are doing it yet and if your buying the clips then holding them long term you are risking ghe posibility they dont do that. Will be intresting to watch going forward.

When it gets open again we could work something out

I keep hearing "momentum" but don't see anyone explaining what that means....aren't you same folks concerned about "momentum" still going in to buy moments and sell moments whenever the marketplace is back up?

If I want to buy or sell a moment then I jump on my browser and see if its available. If not, I just wait. Same goes for those dropping prices to undercut the next person. Wait it out and let the market stabilize in price instead of freaking out. Some of you guys need to learn some patience whether you are buying or selling.

The worry is that other people are panicking. It's happened before. It literally happened two days ago when they had the market closed for over a day

There’s definitely a psychological effect at play here. Not so sure it surrounds the maintenance windows, as I think that probably just delays whatever people’s plans are more so than alters them. The one I’ve noticed the most is the 9-10 EST window once most of America is up, things tend to swing radically in whatever direction things trended in the overnight.

This has yet to be fully marketed by the NBA but social media is doing a great job of doing it by itself. They can't have the red carpet roll out until they can fix these current issues. I jumped into this 60 days ago and they are doing a good job of being responsive to the market in general. Hopefully the main roll out happens during the run up to the playoffs. There is a lot of great things to look forward to. I'm enjoying this as it goes. One of my favorite newest moments is the Miles Bridges. I'm not really caught up in the Seeing Stars but I was close.

Are you talking about the /35k dunk with the pass from Lamelo?? That one is sick and I was lucky to get one numbered in the 2000s for $10. Such a good highlight for so cheap I think that one will rise alot, although I am kind of worried about the pack drop this weekend. I hope the 15k or so of the S2 commons that drop don't crash the prices

Yeah I've been flipping a few of my commons in anticipation. Looks like the preorders may not come until Sunday. Could be a great opportunity to buy back and get lower numbers as there will be a ton of people just selling their commons
