I have been bidding on lots of players this last week and today i found a high ranked team bidding on his own player until he bumped it up well past tthe miilion $. Is it common practice to bid on your players? At the same time he was bidding on player of better quality for the same price. Is he smart or plain cheater?

perhaps he made up his mind to try and keep his player so h ewould buy the player from himself.

He sold his player for 1.7 mill.
Seem alike BB need to address this because not all of us are street wise,at least I am a bit more now and will check the bidders on my targets.
If you bid on your own and win( I found another today who has done that), do you pay the tax?

It only matters if the seller is the last bid forcing you to go higher or if you are bidding against the seller. If he didnt' want to sell at that price he should have set his fee higher. I agree it would be betterto let him take the bid and pay the taxes.
I still think it's a issue that should be addressed. It doesn't happen in other managemant games I play.

Yeah, that's clear. People bid on their own players if they fear they'll be sold for a low price, it's not that uncommon.

I think this is a great feature that adds a lot to this game.
