You know you're living life in BB right when you list a player at the mid to upper end of his TC range, get a bid on Thursday night on him, and then Friday's training causes a skill drop that switches his position and causes his TC range to drop by half. So for full disclosure, folks, the player that I'm selling for $275k that *now* has a TC of 100-170k is not me trying to fleece somebody, and in fact I suppose I should have listed him at 800k for a few months until someone bought him.


TPE's are not usually the best measuring stick of value anyway. The GM's factor in much more than that when looking at Transfer questions. Things were called pretty tight there for a while, it seemed like if a guy got $50K more that what most would consider normal, people kind of freaked out. That was never the spirit of the TPE, or the rule governing transfers.

The whole point is to dissuade "account transfers" and cheating in general, or the occasional time when a guy blatantly profits from a really stupid bid on one on his players :-) I think you are more than safe in this instance ;)


You hear that, guys? I'm not going to be punished. If you want to see the man take me down, you'll have to go bid up Poirier by several hundred thousand more, at minimum. I don't think the lot of you have the guts to do it.

Poirer is worth what ever you get. At least he isnt a Perr All Star potential 18 yo that you listed for 600K since the beginning of the season and finally duped a new team into purchasing him. At Perr All Star, its going to take some good training to make him worth more than initial purchase price, plus the two years or real time training.

Yeah, that "new" team has been around since S15.

Since you're talking about selling a player, good job on selling a 30yo $38.7k player for $780400 and a 26yo $22523 player for $500k. You didn't make a profit on both deals did you?

Well that's still much better than back when these 6th man potential scrubs kept magically getting sold for half a million after 2-3 weeks!

Oh, snap!

As the old saying goes, sticks and stones may break my bones, but a 400% markup never really hurt anyone important.

Ohhhh, I didn't say that! I was just giving you my opinion that you should be safe....That doesn't mean another GM won't disagree with me ;)

You hear that everyone? I might be punished. You might only have to raise Poirier's bid by a couple of hundred thousand rather than many hundred thousand to bring down my reign of TEH TERR0RZ!!1111

The interesting thing on both of these sales is they were listed once for considerably less than they sold for and got numerous bids on them. The SF had over 100 tsp. Making cash on those guys was total dumb luck. I almost never make money on the TL. If two or three people bid it up, I would consider that to be the market and not trolling for dollars. Thanks for the compliment and thanks for glossing over the 20 transactions I have lost money on in the last calendar year.

Yup I really rocked these out. I spent about a million on the two players and sold them for 1.28. Those are amazing returns!
