I think it's not a good idea to leave the question unregulated... If a gamer finds himself in a situation that force him to get his player back from transfer due to injuries for example it could be easier to add an option to get the player back paying a small fee... in this way bidding on owned player could be declared illegal.

By biddin on a player of mine I can fake the final price and also by doing this in the end of the bidding i can extend the bidding time by 10 or more minutes!!

If you win the auction on your own player, you are already paying a small fee because you don't get to keep the entire auction price. Additionally, you'll get an even smaller percentage of the auction price when you decide to relist the player. And, finally, I think that most people would stay away from an auction if they saw that someone had bid on their own player. So, you might be able to extend the deadline (though I fail to see what that would accomplish), but you'll get stuck with the guy and wind up losing money.

It's worth leaving the option in for those who have listed their players in a fit of drunken rage and decide in the morning that they'd actually prefer not to sell them.
Not that I have ever done this. Well, not with this game anyway ;-)

And if he bought his own player, he do not recive the 100% of the money, remember de tax, and when the player is rebuy by the same team the tax increase a big amount (the less you recive from the player means a bigger tax), so sometimes is not a good idea to bid for your own player.

Who cares?!

Yes, it is not clver to do that, you better think about whether sell a player or not and for how much in advance. The drunken cases...lol:)

People need to understand that sometimes when a player is put in the TL and the owner at the last day is still unsatisfied with the highest offer, he may - and should - buy him.

Yes, part will be lost due to taxes, and selling anytime soon after will have a higher incidence of transfer taxes, but thats a choice a GM has to face

I once almosr bid on my own player for this reason. I wanted to upgrade at SG and put up one of my SG on auction. The bids were so low I thought I couldnt get better and was going to outbid. The bid went high enough so I didnt bid, and next time I will just set the minimum higher. I can see where someone might legitimately bid on thier own player.

It doesnt work much in your favor to try and jack up the bid, because if you get stuck with your own guy you lose on the taxes and for the next sell attempt its even worse. Better to set a mnimum bid at the lowest you will accept. If you think someone is trying to jack the price up, try and stick him with his own guy. That'l teach him :)

Shame on you!! :) No harm done there: if nobody bids more you will pay the transfer fee (10 to 20% of the final transfer price), and the player remains yours.
