Yes, but even accepting it´s a good system it´s capable of improvement.
I wanted to express that there was no problem to me, but if we were giving new ideas to improve it, i wanted to say to all of you my own ones.
That´s all. I´ve been reading all the posts, different thoughts, i like some ones, i don´t like at all other ones, but i think all of them are valids.

Regards

I think the system as is, is probably the fairest possible. Althought i would like to see 2 additions.

One: The ability to lower your asking price (during listing period) if you realise you wont get the bidding started with the price you set.

And two: This is a possible. But an "instant buy" option so another manager, if he feels the desire, could take the player instantly on a set price (buy the seller). This could add problems with team trading however, but defineatly doable.

I'd rather add a hidden reserve price - similar to eBay, so the player will be sold only if this minimums price is reached.

No actually he means that: there is a starting price let's say 500k. Reserved price at which case the sale goes through let's say 650k.
Now player has a bid of 625k auction ends and player will not be sold because hidden lowest sale price is set at 650k.
And that is a pointless suggestion tbh. You have a chance to set the minimum price you want to sell a player. That is the starting bid no need for extra nonsence.
For the everyone bids silently suggestion that you thought he made. Whoever is lucky enough to get it will win. Easiest way to actually cheat more as you can say I really wanted that player etc etc and bid idiotic amount of money.

Interesting to see people fail so bad and bash neutral posts but okay - maybe I should avoid the international community in the future...

bidwars suggest that the player is currently UNDER market value, because no one should put their personal max bid as their first bid when theres a shot you could get him for less, its a horrible strategy

if the deadline didnt extend, someone could wait until the last second and outbid you and you wouldnt get the opportunity to bid back at him even though you definitely would have paid more UP TO the actual market value

yes, occasionally it could go higher if someone goes on tilt after 10 minutes of bidding, or if someone is desparate due to injuries, but i believe thats a much lesser evil than my previous point and happens a lot less
