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?

At least he isnt a Perr All Star potential 18 yo that you listed for 600K since the beginning of the season

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.

You hear that, guys? I'm not going to be punished.


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!

So it's ok to sell if you only list them for once? If they don't get sold for the one time you list them, or when less than two managers bid, you can't sell them? Only your total dumb luck was justifiable but not other people? Since you're speaking of market, what's a market? Andy is selling a phone, Brian is willing and able to buy that, they make a deal for whatever the price they both agree. That's my definition of a market. Why does it matter whether you have one buyer, or five? The only difference is that when more than one person wants the same product, they have a bidding battle. When one person, he bids and he gets the product. It doesn't change anything.

And why did mangers bid on players for whatever prices listed? Because they thought their decisions were good of them. In your opinion, you think they are not worth the money, but apparently the managers who acquired them thought otherwise. Are they all stupid and only you're the wise guy? I don't think so.
