If you bought those players for 10-100k, why I couldn't have done the same for training purposes?

Of course you could. Everybody could. But it was at the beginning of season. Now, you have to pay more.

What are we actually talking about?

Do you know how much costed steel 2 years ago? Of course, you could have bought steel then...but if you haven't and you need steel now, you have to pay X times more. Market. Try to persuade sellers now that steel isn't worth such much because 2 years ago costed X times less

I'm not sure how buying steel 2 years ago has anything to do with this, but as I said, there's plenty of options to buy trainees right now with actual market value if I would want to. Or I can wait for couple weeks (not years) to get better prospects with lower price. You can justify your current actions for yourself as you please in public, but I think you know exactly what is the issue here. At least based on your attempts to change the discussion to irrelevances and your weird calculations about the actual costs of these youngsters.

20 years old HOF 58 TSP. Bought 18 days ago for an increible amount of 6.4 k, I repeat 6.4 k. In sale for 125k, its sounds to me like rubbish, and you have plenty more players like that.

Dont try to argue that you are not taking advantage of people, and fool them. You should be penalised for that.

But the fact that some player may be worth 3M after 7-8 seasons if trained properly, doesn't mean that he is worth 300k today.

I only gave real example that such kind of investment gives real chances on good profit in the future for buyers (newbies etc. whoever he is). In place where I see chances, you see cheating...because newbies don't train (maybe BB managment should do more to encourage to train? Make it easier and more profitable?) Of course, maybe my players aren't the cheapest on the market currently, but if we talk about difference between 200k to 300k we are closer to real value than when you talk about numbers 30k to 300k. 200k to 300k is that crime you are talking about? By the way: in fact everybody do similar transactions all the time? Even Alonso. Let's check e.g. history of these two players: (41683073), (46424658). 550k more 10 days later, 1M more a month later on one player is ok? But 1M more on 10 players is crime.

Try to notice and understand that when I buy/sell a lot of players, my taxes are much bigger...so it has influence also on transfer of my regular players, which means also minus and additional cost of this investment. Few percentage more on 3-4M transactions is a lot. You don't see and count this. You see only purchase and selling costs and you count revenue basing only on these. It's not properly.

You have a player Ali Yalçin who you bought 3 weeks ago for 15k. He has played only 27 minutes on your team and thus I would be surprised if any of his skills are higher than 3 weeks ago. You are listing him for 255k.

Has the market changed so much in 3 weeks that he is now worth over 10x the value?

This isn't a case of training up a player. This isn't the case of a players value increasing at different points in the season (I would argue this player is worth less after not getting training). This is the case of trying to bait some unknowing team into buying an asset not worth its value.

This is what we are talking about and yet all of you doing this in this thread won't acknowledge these examples. Instead you make up random numbers to try and justify what you are doing or start name calling.

Do you really believe that any knowledgeable team would buy this guy for 255k?

Quick look at the transfer list shows you are wrong.

91 18 or 19 year olds with hall of fame potential on the transfer list. 31 listed under 100k, many with no bids, many better than your listing. The only person that is buying your player is a severely misinformed player.
