Ted and Stacey need to stop being cheap, and pay what the player is worth.

If having the Reserve Bid for players is a problem, can we have it for staff?
The staff aren't being sold by players and you can't bid on another staff member of the same type until you've been outbid.
There should be no issue with adding this feature to staff.

So at the moment, you can actually do this.

If you see a player that you like, listed for $1

and you think he is worth buying for $100k. Then you can just place a bid at $100k

No difference to the idea of setting a maximum reserve.

If someone else comes along after you place your bid, and places a higher bid, then you don't get him. Just like your description with the maximum reserve.

The only difference is that there is no 'automatic incremental' that takes place.

Unfortunately its the nature of auctions. Not just in BB, but in real life! which sux, cause id love to buy a house in Detroit somewhere for $10.

I thought you couldn't do this as 'over bidding' is looked at like cheating. Also the incremental bid is important so that you don't have to over pay a player. This also helps regulate the market for players according to skill, potential, age etc.

So the overbidding is more oike if u bid $5m on a player who should only be bought for $10k.

If the transfer price estimate of a player is $200k, and u bid $300k , that isnt deemed as overbidding.

some people might think ur paying too much but thats debateable.

No difference to the idea of setting a maximum reserve.

If the maximum bid by someone else was (or would have been with autobid) 50k, it makes quite a difference.

Really? That's what you say but I'd rather not have any issues with BB especially since they warn you before you place your bid. If a player is listed at 200k and you bid 300k that is definite grounds for an investigation.
