A) Regarding last minute change;
Why not? Unless the buyer is OK with the price, there is no problem with that.
Anyhow, allowing auctio's price change could be limited to be until the first of the following:
1) The first bid set. [As written on the suggestion's first message]
2) Untill 1Hr (for example) prior of a bid.

B) Regarding the price inflating issue;
I'm not sure that I understood the argument.
The player's estimation feature is upon players already been sold. No? [If not, it is needed to be changed anyhow]

The buyers should make their own research and make it a smart one anyhow.
One can set a high bid anyhow under current system.
As the suggestion is to that an auction's price could be altered only until XX HRs prior of the actual auction due time, it also gives them the right information.
To summarize it I'll say that a bad buyer will overpay anyhow. Also under current definitions.

1) The first bid set. [As written on the suggestion's first message]

I usually scan the tl for the player i like to buy, and bookmark the player who fit my criteria. When does player would disappear often till the date of the auction it will frustrate. I am quite sure other act the same way of the tl, sometimes you also need the time to get the feeling for the market, in letting two or three similiar player run out and look for the price which got payed for them.

I am not a fan of disappearing player, and even a higher starting price could have the same effect.

The system is simple. You want to sell, you list the player. For how much money minimal, you are willing to part with the player -> you set the starting price. Everything else is pointless hassle. People need to learn to make decisions and stand by them. Changing everything daily/hourly is pointless.

You forgot to add... and damn the NBA and NBPA that changes their offers for the last couple of months.

And of course we all "know" that when someone put any asset of his to sale, he cannot change the price.

Why I have the feeling that you benefitted from others honest mistake?

You can change it three days after if not sold. You can change it by raising it if you second thought you aimed too low.

Not the same. by raising you may pay and lose money.
It does not matter what you will write against it, they are still not the same case.

Even more, you can change it when BB ask you "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO SELL HIM AT THIS PRICE".

Not the same. If you read it wrong, you probably will still read it wrong.

There is no reason to get advantage due to that kind of mistakes.

Mistakes do happen in management. Those who made less often finish ahead of those who made much.

There is no connection between wrong desicions, and mistakes due to wrong reading.
Especially that one found his mistake in time, before anyone bidded the player.
There is no deal and no commitment until there is one on the other side of the deal.

Needless to say that the market will rise the price to a real value.

Not relevant to opposing the suggestion.
In any case, wanting to do the opposite cannot be done afterwards byt the market.

Are you joking?

The freaking system is asking you TWICE what price you want to set.

Your suggestion is clearly meant to make up for strategic mistakes, not for typos or reading mistakes.

I am against it.
Strategic decisions are important.

Startegic desicions are only set after a bid is set.

And again, why do you support [and for GM-Perepete i'll add, "or are you against it?"] updating a lineup after it is already been set?
Why there it is not a "startegic desicion"?

You have a lot of similar "voices" telling you facts and other useful stuff. Last time it was my "transfers", which you did not bother to check etc. I can't benfit from someones honest mistake, because the TL is open to everyone. That means everyone can bid. It's not like if the price is set low, only one person can bid. Everyone can bid. If he sells "low", it's his current value.

You forgot to add... and damn the NBA and NBPA that changes their offers for the last couple of months.

And after it's signed, can't be changed for atleast 6 years. Prolly you did not know that:) There are a lot of things you don't seem to understand or know.

Especially that one found his mistake in time, before anyone bidded the player.

What's the mistake you can not correct while selling a player? You set the price too low? You can raise it yourself (you just choose not to, because you fail to know players actual value and might end up loosing money), or if the player is good it get's raised anyway. If you set the price too high, you can change it after 3 days. It's simple.

And again, why do you support [and for GM-Perepete i'll add, "or are you against it?"] updating a lineup after it is already been set?

How is it so hard for you to understand that these are completely different things. One concernes only your team, the other (listing a player) is influencing everyone on BB. It's only logical to have access to lineup change (recent additions to team, opponent, injuries).
Perhaps your kind of example would be good. You are the owner of McDonalds. Every time you see a long line you raise the prices.
