I'm sorry my English is difficult to understand. It isn't my first language.

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.

Because eventually a sucker comes along.

The funny thing is that people used to complain about the daytraders in Hattrick back in the mid 2000s when it was truly an overpowered strategy there, but for the most part those guys were finding players on the TL who were actually worth less than their selling price and then would turn around and sell them at a normal to slightly inflated price. While I personally disdain the entire concept of treating the game as a market simulation where, from time to time, people actually bother with putting lineups, I can respect people with the discipline to find those good deals. What I find reprehensible is people who base their economy on fleecing people who don't know any better on players with players who aren't worth a third of what they're listed for.

Personally, I think that until you've had a player at least a season, the maximum you should be able to list him for is one-half his purchase price (with no limits for players you drafted).

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!

How the heck did I miss this post? Were you stalking me again and making sure to post it at a time where it'd be swept up underneath the other eddies and currents in the choppy seas of II.4? And to think I just wasted a +1 on one of your other posts, when this one is much more deserving.

Yes, I guess my understanding of a "market" is that when there 100 identical phones and only 1 buyer, that the price of those phones become very, very cheap. Because that 1 buyer will choose the least expensive phone, not buy the most expensive phone.

But it seems that even with all that profit (is it $14 or $18 million), he still can't buy a NBBA championship. Maybe he likes to pay for the most expensive phone as well?

Analogy nailed.

Or, maybe he still doesnt know how to use a phone & all its features properly

Luckily, there are significant financial benefits when you participate in a friends and family plan.

I think we all should take a moment to celebrate that the USA beat Russia in Olympic hockey today, which is especially nice since a major reason it happened was a disallowed goal for Russia which would have counted in the NHL but was correctly ruled off using IIHF rules. Also a shoutout to Slovenia for beating Slovakia - Slovenia's a fun little team and Kopitar is my favorite player in the NHL right now, so it's nice to see them pulling this out.

I've heard a rumor that Buzzerbeater was going to have games tonight too, but I'm not putting any stock in that foolishness.

The rumor was Bb having competitive games tonight.

I was up at 5am to watch US dominate Slovakia, so I'm a little miffed that I missed that amazing US-Russia game. Hopefully there's more good ones ahead though, with some medals on the line

I have to admit I missed a pretty significant chunk of the US-Russia game too. When I got up I sort of fast forwarded through most of Slovenia-Slovakia and then watched the first period of US-Russia. As I was skipping through the commercials my older son came out and wanted to play a game on the XBox and I told him the 2nd period was likely to begin soon and he could play when that was done - so I fastforwarded and it was right at the puck drop. Watched the second, let him play a while, and he decided to be done and we dropped back over to TV just as they were going into the sixth round of the shootout.

Can't believe that Russia and Slovakia are going into OT. Slovakia's one of those countries I usually root for - I still remember how much they got the shaft from the NHL during the Salt Lake Olympics. I know the Kings, for example, had told Ziggy Palffy that he could play in only one of the three qualifying round games - so he was there watching helplessly as they had like 14 skaters in a game against Germany. Sometime in the second period they were down, you could see the guys were just gassed, and he finally decided to suit up and play the rest of the game. The GM was on the phone with him saying that that was the only game he'd be able to play, which really sucked because it's not like the Kings were any good at all then (as I know far too well being a fan). I also remember Irbe and Ozolinsh playing what must have been like seven games in five days between NHL and the qualifying round.
