TPE is useless too often. It is just a good lead to get what is big money in BB whether 500k or 5M.

For example my draftee (and draftees or other young prospects are what newbies would sell) is TPEd 350k-600k right now. Two weeks ago, he was something like 450k-3.15M and he got better in skil since. Newbies should really use TPE anyway...

Owners should be able to list players on TL at will, prices are changing constantly, many intriguing players doesn't even have a TPE and if it is often way off, I don't see any problem with testing waters via starting with accepatbale price and repeating it with lower price if necessary. This way sellers are already stuck with unwanted players for week ot two more if they went unsold. If someone wants to keep a high price, why not let him do that - he usually gets feedback via BB-mail and to me it is more acceptable way then spamming forums offering players to get a suitable price - at least he is offering the playetr to everybody not just that forum readers. I t may be just me but I beleive transfers should happen on TL/market not at forum boards.

I don't have a problem with guys listing players 2 or 3 times, but with guys who keep their players listed for a month or so. Just waiting for that one bid. Let's be honest now. Paying tax on player not sold once or twice does not kill you, but it makes you drop the price. If a player is not sold then the player is priced too high.
TPE is not always way off. TPE is rarely way off. Sometimes it is being influenced by the cheaters. If you want to sell your player check the TL for similar players and watch how much they sell for, then list your player. If you really have no idea how much your player is worth, list him at $1.
Remember tax would be 1%. So if you will not go crazy on your listing price and you really want to sell your player it will not hurt you. It will hurt managers who keep their ~400k value players listed at 1mil week after week.

this thread is classic.
an idea that gives more advantages to players who can be online when the most users are, yer what a great idea pfffft.

put simply really dumb idea.

and he actually suggests selling for lower because prices at times you can be on are lower then at 2 am in the morning.

as users have said the fan system already takes care of this, and while it only has a tiny effect , its because trying to sell a player in this type of game depending on where you live can be more or less difficult thus shouldnt be further punished

Ok i check this with my team, only 2(!) player in my entire team have a TPE and the TPE from one of them is way off the other is a minute killer with a tpe around 5k and we could een discuss if you could sell them for the maximum price of 60k.

So now lets take a look at the bookmarked player i like to buy, you see the same. A advanced minute killer who runs out from this list and looks like that:

Age: 26

9-7
9-5
9-8
6-8
7-8
5-8

XP: 6

So guess the how much he is worth, i am pretty sure that this is very different from the TPE.

ah okay, anyway as for the player you listed, I would guess he is worth between 800k and 1.2 million. Is that right?

tpe says 300k ;) And he was sold for 1,5 Mio, which isn't good but quite normal i think(i just see a other player who already have those bid, and another player who sold as comparision).

So as a newbie you list him at 300k. Does that mean he can not be sold at 1,5? There would be more bids on players. Now are you proposing that all players tpe-s are way off and they actually sell much higher. You do know how tpe is generated right? Did he have tpe 300k with "he is probably better than all those players" added to it?
What are you proposing? list every player with TPE 300k for 1,5 mil? Because they are actually worth it?
I'm glad that you pointed this out, as it actually supports this suggestion. Newbies should use tpe, so list your player at 300k, it does not matter if you eventually (after a bid war) receive 800k, 1,2mil or 1,5mil. Now if you think you are all that supermanager and think you know about all the player prices: list your tped 300k at 1,5mil and GET THIS! he does not sell = then you pay player not sold tax, it prevents you from constantly listing him again at 1,5 mil for the months to come.

no, but when the tpe is often non existent or 500% off(maybe also in the other direction?), doesn't that mean that they know tit.

And for listning to low, you get propblem with the times zones etc. Take a look at this post, i found accidently today when going into "global" -> (135029.104)

or loose their founds because they think he is worth 5* of it, and have to find the right price through testing it, or recognize after listening the player to low that they lost lot of money because he was worth much more.

Now if you think you are all that supermanager and think you know about all the player prices


currently i am not that manager, which makes yourr suggestion even more bullshit, as you heard i have one tpe'd player in my team. I normally had to ask my "transfer guru" to get an idea how much money i could get for my players when i sell them, not everyone have a transfer guru like me who they could ask. With buying the problem is smaller because you normally watch at more then one player, for selling i at least don'Ät have fun to plan this ahead 7-10 days to find the right comparision and get their final prices.

For average player there usually is a tpe to help you. Newbies rarely start with great players with and have that transfer problem.
Remember tax is 1% so paying 10k for listing your 300k player at 1mil does not actually kill you. It prevents you for doing it over and over again.
currently i am not that manager
I did not say you were that manager. But I know some of those exist, saying I know this player is worth this and that to me and keeps them on tl constantly high priced. Those players sell seldom, after misclick or some not so bright managers bid. It's a deliberate system abuse and that is something I want to stop. I can monitor some of the estonian leagues but not all of them and certainly not the whole bb.
It's easier to set this tax, then to assign a GM to certain number of leagues to monitor every team after 3 days.
