You talking about cases when you need to get back your own player.

I gave you a really good solution and you still talking someone else might bid , that is an extortion...

Yes I said that because theres no other solution without fixing it somehow.

For me this is somewhat similar problem as a day trading...

Instead of allowing managers to bid up their own players, why doesn't BB just add a Cancel Listing option on the Player screen? Then no one is getting tricked into bidding against the manager of the player.

In the real world, bidding on your own auctions is called Shill Bidding. Here is an explanation of what that means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill. It is illegal under federal law.

If the only downside to shill bidding is that you pay a small tax when you have the potential to make big money, why wouldn't players do it?

It would be far getter to just add a Cancel button for auctions. Then, if you screwed up, you cancel the auction, you pay the tax (as a penalty for cancelling), and you get your player off the transfer list and no one gets hurt.

Only if no one else has already bid.

Why would it matter if anyone bid? If the auction is cancelled, the high bidder gets their money back. Sure, they don't get that special 1 in 10000 player they wanted, but they still have their money and can go buy someone else. Just like there is no penalty for losing an auction to someone else, there should be no penalty to the bidder if the seller cancels.

perpete already answered your question just above:

"If someone has bid on the player, he deserves the right to try to buy the player. And he also has the right to stop bidding if the owner is bidding too."
