Also just for fun let's say the TE has been estimated for this player at $2,000-$10,000. So currently I have bid to the 'estimated' TE on him, whiich is fine. But at the last second another owner comes and places a bid on Joe Schmoe for $11,000. Placing that bid just added 3 min to the clock. So this other owner and myself go back and forth for another several bids and 30 more minutes. The final bid ends up being $30,000.
I don't see your point. Guys who are worth $10,000 are in abundance. If he's really worth $10,000 you can probably find another dozen guys just like him within a 24 hour period. Why not just accept that you didn't get him and move on?
So the player is won above market value.
No, he is not above market value. The very fact that there was a bid war suggests that you did pay market value. He went above the transfer price estimate but that's not the same thing.
should stop when it says it's supposed to stop.
I'm not sure what this will accomplish, except possibly reducing the prices players are sold for?
