Can I get in on the complaining? A few weeks ago, my player only sold for 5.1 million: (6924768). One of the best PGs in BB should have gone for at least 500K more than that. If I knew he was going to sell for that price, I would not have listed him.
Oh wait - you're going to say that the site did not crash in my case, so it is not the same. Maybe, maybe not. Or maybe he went for market value? Really, I don't know, I don't understand the market these days.
All I know is that next time, if I am unwilling to part with a player without getting x compensation in return, then that's what I will list him for.
I don't think that is the same thing as what has happened here.
Your player sold at that amount on an uninhibited market.
However, the OP's player would definitely have sold for more if players were able to bid. However, players weren't able to bid because the site was down, or frozen or whatever.
I saw the skills of the player and I assure you that he would have sold for more than he did.
So I think the situation is completely different.
And the biggest thing that makes the different is that the OP was going to buy the player back if he didn't sell for the amount that he wanted. He should have had that chance to buy his player back.
