I too must question the logic of setting a 1k initial minimum bid on a player that you wanted to sell for 3 million dollars. If people were willing to spend 3 million dollars for your player, it wouldn't matter what the initial price was...
IMO this is a good strategy when the player is of high quality as it encourages more people to get involved in the action and generally speaking if the site doesnt crash, then I believe you get a higher price.
I sold Ivan Ryder
(25104321) whilst starting him at $1 a week earlier and got 4.161 Mill for him.
Terry Mc has already played one scrimmage for the Australia National team and was 5 years younger than Ryder and to me was of more value to myself than what Ryder was.
I expected Terry Mc to have sold for between 3 and 4 mill, which I believe he would have if the site hadnt gone down
