I think you posted this reply to the wrong thread. Even though I posted both suggestions, LS is another topic and I believe we should keep things separate. You wouldn't post a Training answer to a Scrimmage thread.

When you said 'this would be nice, but not that nice' were you referring to the MRB? If so, we can agree to disagree as I think a majority of the players would really like to be able to enter a bid and not have to watch the clock, no matter what the specific reason they aren't able to bid when the auction ends. Again I would reference EBay's auction system.

Ted and Stacey need to stop being cheap, and pay what the player is worth.

If having the Reserve Bid for players is a problem, can we have it for staff?
The staff aren't being sold by players and you can't bid on another staff member of the same type until you've been outbid.
There should be no issue with adding this feature to staff.

So at the moment, you can actually do this.

If you see a player that you like, listed for $1

and you think he is worth buying for $100k. Then you can just place a bid at $100k

No difference to the idea of setting a maximum reserve.

If someone else comes along after you place your bid, and places a higher bid, then you don't get him. Just like your description with the maximum reserve.

The only difference is that there is no 'automatic incremental' that takes place.

Unfortunately its the nature of auctions. Not just in BB, but in real life! which sux, cause id love to buy a house in Detroit somewhere for $10.

I thought you couldn't do this as 'over bidding' is looked at like cheating. Also the incremental bid is important so that you don't have to over pay a player. This also helps regulate the market for players according to skill, potential, age etc.
