Well, unfortunately we can't do anything about that. The one good thing is that if the player is re-bought, his time on the club is reset to zero and it's counted as a transfer in the last 14 weeks, so if the player is re-listed shortly thereafter, the owner will get a lot lower percentage the second time.

With that said, it's permitted currently. I don't like it - I can see letting someone do it to try to rebuy their player if they didn't want to sell them or need them in case another player got injured, or if they set the wrong starting price, but using it as a "set a low price, then drive up bids at the end" tactic sucks. It's one of the reasons I also don't have a lot of sympathy for people who list players low and get 'screwed' if the site goes down - if you want to make sure a player sells for a million, you can list him at that. If you don't and he doesn't, too bad.

Well i appreciate the response. And i can see the opportunity to make an adjustment if a player gets an injury and now all of a sudden that player is needed. But in my opinion the chances of that scenario happening is really low. And what i have found more recently (I've been a user for a while now) is that it is becoming a selling tactic. Its a very wise tactic and great way to really maximize selling value sadly i have had a couple of these instances happen recently and i didn't realize what the guy was doing because i didn't think to look and see if the person i was bidding against was the owner that's never crossed my mind. but as i've seen it happening more recently i've been paying attention. even a friend of mine on BB has had it happen to her multiple times as well. and often what happens is it prolongs the auction time long enough for someone else to potentially jump in and bid. And once the bid has reached a price the seller is pleased with he just doesn't jump back in the bid and now has made in 1 instance an additional 300k.

Injuries, and gameshap have, admittedly, left my team in a precarious position right before the playoffs that I'll win, but all the same, I have no earthly idea how I lost tonight. None.

Well here is the REAL thing... I am debating throwing our last game in order to give you home court for our first playoff game. Since we split the gate revenue 50-50... I think that full your arena makes more money than mine does. Even though i have more seats your pricing is better and your very large luxury box section i think gives you the edge. So i have a couple of days to decide how i want to approach our game Saturday. you know if you CT me you will make it way easier for me to just play my bench.

Whatever man!!! you can sell that smoke to someone knew to BB. I know in the playoffs you can be 10-12 and if you have a home game its 99% full!

Secondly Saturday's game for you is a home game to close out the season i'm going to guess you make $235,000 on our game saturday. which would be an increase from your usual gate revenue.

Thirdly i'm not blowing up the team. Tommy has about 3 Great seasons left before he has 2-3 good ones and then 1 ok season. lol Blowing the team up doesn't seem like a good idea. SO you can take that idea to someone else bud lmao
