My understanding is that this is explicitly against the rules and could result in getting banned.

ahh, this one makes sense. Thanks Marlin!


normally you won't get banned for it, but the transfer price is often reduced - and be warned i like to report such trades ;) If he needs money to buy your player, he could sell his scrubs also to another team which have also the advantage to you that you don't have to buy a player who didn't fitexactly your wishes. And both players get sold fpr their value

Another thing which could happen, you bid on his player and he is lucky to sell him for a high price and don't bid on yours ;)

Well, it's not against the rules. Why would it be? It's two entirely different sales, there's no guarantee to successfully complete such a "trade", and anyone else can bid if he wants.
There's no potential ban doing that. You could make a case for a ban if both teams sell their guys well over their value, but at market value there's no reason to ban anyone.
If you want to be sure, just submit the "trade" to a GM before doing it, and see if it's a fair sale.

As long as a player is sold at fair market value and no rules are broken, it is a fair transfer. The concept of trade is not used in the BuzzerBeater transfer system, they are individual transfers. GMs don't provide any transfer evaluation services and okay trades.

That's what I've been saying all along.

Never said that they do. What I meant is, if you (in general) won't trust me -as one balling my posts would suggest-, just write to a GM to verify it's indeed a fair procedure as I previously stated.

When you see suspicious transfers, it's a good idea to report them.

because it is clearly a arranged one, and mostly above market prices because else they wouldn't work in most cases because at least one get outbid ;) it is a least suspicious transfer, where you get easier a fine then a normal one where you buying a player from regular market and normally you will also find a player who fit better to your team there. So why don't include a third team in the trade instead, when team B wants the palyer from team A he don't need to get the money from A he could easily get it from team C else you are looking for prices over the range.
