How to Use Peakmonsters Filters (Part 2)

Best regards Splinterlovers 💚

In my previous post, I discussed the basics of how to use “Peakmonsters” effectively; however, posts like this need to include more visual elements to help new players and users who are looking for a more user-friendly platform than the official one (Splinterlands.com), and that platform is precisely Peakmonsters. This post will provide clearer, more visual examples of how to use it correctly.

So, in this post, we’ll look at how to use the comparison filters in “Peakmonsters,” a very powerful tool that newer users likely aren’t taking full advantage of. The truth is that if you learn how to use it, you could even start trading cards—a task that requires patience because you have to wait for the cards to sell, and that can take time, but patience is a virtue, so I hope you’ll find this information very valuable.

If there's anything you don't understand or find difficult, feel free to leave a comment on this post—though the process is very simple and easy to follow, so let's get started:

How do I find the "Comparisons" filters on Peakmonsters, and what are they?

Before I show you how to use them, the first thing I need to explain is where to find these filters, because many new users may have no idea what I’m talking about or where to look for them. So, to find these filters, follow these step-by-step instructions:

Find the comparison filters

As soon as you log in to Peakmonsters, the first thing you should do is go to the top of the screen and click “Buy Cards,” then select “Card Market.” Once there, look to the right where the filters are and, under “View Mode,” select “Compare.”

Now that we’re here, we’re all set to start using the comparison filters that will let you see the market in a whole new light, as well as learn exactly how the basic concepts I explained in the first post work. So, with everything laid out, let’s dive into the explanation of the filters.
Now that we’ve got that covered, here are the filters I’ll be explaining:

• Lowest Price card to buy
• Lowest price per BCX to buy
• Low price Vs Low BCX
• Low price Vs High Bid
• Low BCX Vs High Bid
• Price Gap
• Price At Level
• Market Trend
• Market Stats

These are all the filters I’ll be explaining, but that would take too long, so in this post I’ll cover the first three—I don’t want to overwhelm you with information. Besides, if you apply those first three, you’ll be well on your way. However, in addition to the initial three, I’ll include a “Bonus” at the end of the post to help you learn how to buy cards as cheaply as possible.

Explanation of the filters (first 3)

Let’s go over the first three filters from the list I shared earlier. As I mentioned, I don’t want to bore you or make this post too long, so let’s get right to the explanation:

Lowest Price card to buy

This filter is very easy to understand; it basically shows you the lowest price for the card currently available on the market, without taking into account its price per BCX, which is essentially the price per copy or unit. What this does is let you know at a glance what the lowest price is for the card you’re looking for, and from that price, try to negotiate a lower one or, failing that, look for the card below that specific price and try to buy it as quickly as possible.

Although, if you want my opinion on this filter, the truth is that I only use it to get a sense of the market floor—basically, what the lowest price is for each card. It’s a way to figure out what price you might aim for if you want to sell it later. You can determine all of this by analyzing the card’s utility, which is partly what determines its price.

Lowest price per BCX to buy

This filter works exactly the opposite of the previous one, and if you want to buy in bulk, I highly recommend using it because, instead of showing the lowest price for a card, this filter shows the lowest price per BCX—that is, per copy of a card. So, if you really want to find good deals on the card market, since a card might be priced at $10, but that same card might cost $15, yet have a lower price per BCX than the $10 one. That means the $15 card will be at a higher tier with more abilities than the $10 one, which is cheaper but has a higher price per BCX.

I hope that makes sense. Basically, you can find these offers by filtering by BCX—that is, if you’re not in a rush to buy a card. That said, it doesn’t mean the first filter is bad; after all, if a card is very useful, it might be best to buy it as quickly as possible at the lowest price. But if you really want to get the most out of it, this filter is much better.

Low price Vs Low BCX

This filter combines the best of both worlds—or rather, the best features of the previous filters—since it compares the lowest price of a card with its lowest price per BCX, and also shows you the percentage difference, indicating exactly how much of a discount you’re getting on that card if you focus on buying it at the lowest price per BCX. This means that if you focus on filtering by the lowest price per BCX, you’ll ensure you buy a card as cheaply as possible—which is exactly what we want when buying cards.

Note: If you look closely at this last image, you can see that the card’s price is listed as $14,499, and the price per BCX is $0.036, which is the cheapest option. The great thing is that, since it’s a top-tier card, you’ll get it cheaper than the rest, because the price per BCX for the next cards is higher, and the price for that same number of cards goes up drastically.

Conclusion

Now, to show you the bonus I promised—something amazing that “Peakmonsters” lets us do—is bid on these cards. It’s like an auction where the winner gets to take the card at prices that are even lower than the market value.

Basically, all you have to do is follow the images and take a close look at the number below the “Bid” button. This will allow you to place a higher bid to purchase that card at a lower price and get incredible deals on them.
