Just because you don't think it's correct, doesn't mean it isn't correct.
Well, if you are in the situation like (117703) starting up with these (/team/117703/players.aspx), it's hard to make it through to the end of the season without buying some new players. And where do you find cash? Maybe selling 10 players to be able find a mediocre one at a cost of too much. I think this is a self-killing development in this game.

dont delete my whole message, just retype it so that there's no link / that he isn't mentioned by name.

Well, what Fotocopiator deleted was a player that got sold for 5.6 mio last week and is now getting sold for 6.6mio + (he's still on TM, so we don't know yet).

How yould you explain that being the "normal" economie? Since you think it's normal.

In one known league to me: a player bought around a month ago for 3.6M and now transfer-listed for 6.5M, 25 yo, no improvements. If such deals would go through it's not a very healthy sign of economy.
True, this is way too optimistic try by the seller but with current situation you never know:)
That's how they do it today and I admit I don't like it.

so in the short time it seems free agent = no reduction. I can write here that till next season the average price market will not decrease, in the meantime everyone will improve the arenas or second option will save money for the future or in the best case increase the arenas and save the money at the same time, it means that until half of next season there will be teams able to pay a lot of money for the best players. What is not clear at all to me is if this market is acceptable for the BBs and once again I don't know what will happen next season...

I agree with your analysis for the teams in the top divisions. However, new players in the lower divisions are probably looking at many seasons before, if ever, they will be able to compete in an economic or game play sense. In fact it seems to me that only the teams that started when buzzerbeater was created (within a year or so) will ever be in the upper leagues. With the top teams ability to purchase the best of the transfer list 18 year olds and huge warchests it seems unlikely that, even given many seasons a lower level team will approach the top. Although it is great to think you could train your way to the top, in reality in order to compete even in the lower divisions you would have to sell your best trainees. Anyway the game (without the economy part) is really fun and competing in your own niche will have to do.

All I said was that if someone is willing to pay x amount for a player, that player is not overpriced. I am in the same boat, pal. I am finding it very difficult to improve my team because of the prices. So, I am saving money. But it is a part of the game. There are thousands of teams and players in this game, and it seems right that the very best players should be affordable to only a few of the top teams in the top leagues. D.1 in Thailand, sadly, doesn't qualify. So perhaps it is right that I can't afford a 150k/week power forward.

In January 2008 the price of steel rose 25% overnight around the world. I know because I was building my house at the time. Is that "normal" economy? I don't know but it was real and it happened. Now might be the time to sell your good players and wait for the market to tumble before restocking. Gotta go with the flow, not fight the current.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

The only issue with hoarding money is you need to compete to stay afloat. So, if you can compete while saving your money, then good. Otherwise, you need to get into the market, for better or for worse.
