The risk?

Thats garbage. If there is a computer glitch, extend the deadline by 10 mins.

Ive listed this guy like 4/5 times and couldnt get a bid.

And i was watching the process to make sure if he didnt sell for enough, i could buy him back.

but for the most import 3 mins, i couldnt even pull up his player page.

Man, i am LIVID.

Somebody let me a hold a no. 2 pencil cause they testin' me.

I completely agree that deadline should be extended.
But I recall a BB saying that it is hard to detect these glitches, and because it doesn't happen often, it is just part of the risk of listing a player at 1k.
I think there should be a system where the owner has half an hour after the time of the sale to approve it or deny it. So the owner could deny the sale if the amount was too low, or approve it if he likes the price.
Would solve these sorts of problems.

It doesnt help having all of these free agents dumped in the market either.

Ive tired over and over listed a 23 year old sensational inside D with prolific rebounding under 1 mill can could get an opening bid.

I mean, its 3:30 in the morning and i set my alarm clock to monitor this sale, and i was able to except for the last 3 mins. before that, my guy has gotten 3 bids in the last minute.

I swear i cant turn a profit on a player anymore. If it isnt one thing, its another.

It would also solve the problem if people just listed players at the lowest price they'd be willing to accept.

There are too many different things which can cause slow downs across the internet, and the majority BB cannot do anything about as they have nothing to do with this site.

The problem with listing a guy at the "lowest price you are willing to accept" is, when that player doesnt sell, you have to take another 3 days (or 4 to sell him at a high peak time) to re list him.

I dont know about most players, but for me, the guys im selling dont get the highest priority for game minutes/training because you have no more control after you list that player to sell.

Im due a glitch because this one costed me some major money. Besides, a glitch for 1 or 2 mins give people a chance still. but when its longer than the final 3 min bidding process, thats tough to swallow.

Yeah its frustrating. Unfortunately I don't think there is any way to solve this problem for your case.
Hopefully this incident can show the BBs why there needs to be a way to avoid this.

...not to mention that the player was up to 97% when i sold him.

this sale cost me probably $300,000 dollars if not more if i could have bought him back and sold him again.

I havent turned a profit on a player in almost 2 seasons. this leaves a bad taste in the proverbial mouth.

Aggh, I was bidding on this player when all of the sudden I couldn't load for about 10 minutes and came back to see him go for 430600 was sad.

I was about to buy him back if the bidding stalled, but didnt even have the chance.

To have a player like him at 97% go for less than half his listed value is very very disheartening.

I trained that sensation ID up from a proficent and that prolific rebounding up from a strong.

its almost as if i just poured that training down the drain.

Try reporting it in the bug forum. There is probably nothing that can be done, but no harm in reporting it just incase there is a possible solution.

but this isnt a game bug

its a game philosophy bug.

the only way we have to monitor player sales is to be willing and ready to buy a player back. When we cant even do that, we are a the mercy of what the last query some server was able to send/receive.

i guess i list it.
