Is there any interest in an 80s auction league?

Crap!! How did I miss Phelps at 5.5 mil :(

You and me both Penn. Some other good deals already made. Been busty at work and have not been paying as much attention to this as I would like. :wink:

I was surprised that you guys didn't go after Phelps. I've never had much luck with him in about 4 tries so my odds of him doing well should be good?

[quote:438e458942]5. We must open 6 new bids per day each, this is the only way the draft keeps moving. You will open 6 bids until you have I think 26 bid open or won total. Please remember this so that you dont just open players you dont want once you have 26 bids out there. [/quote:438e458942]

This morning I couldn't bid on players until i opened up 6 new ones ... I didn't really think much about it, so I opened them up; then i realized that i couldn't do any active bidding on players already opened because I had 33 bids out.

Is there a glitch, or is that what was supposed to happen? I had 26 open players at the time this morning. thanks,

Sean

Arrggghh. Penn got Schmidt for 22.5 which is a bargain in this market. Why didn't one of you guys trump him? I would've if I hadn't been busy at work.

Wish everyone would overlook my bids, too.

Couple of questions:

Can we open bids during the weekend? (I tried to open a stadium, but the site stated that there was some sort of problem with the bid date.)

How do trades work? (I forgot from last time.) Say I want to trade a player that I bid $8 million for a player that had an original bid of $4 million. Where does the $4 million difference go to?

[DOUGGRAY]

sean, could be a bug somewhere. I didnt have that problem but I will look into to it monday.


Auction is now frozen until monday, all bids before 5 pm today are closed (I will move them off the outstanding list later). all bids after 5 pm EST today will get 72 hours added to them so bids expiring 6 pm tonight will now expire monday night at 6 pm.

have a great and safe New Years weekend everyone!!!

[DOUGGRAY]

no bidding at all until monday, this is the best way I can handle this situation without constantly changing expiration dates so nothing expires on the weekend.

Trading is allowed after the auction you can trade away 8 mil player for a 4 mil player. The person you trade too would get another 4 mil deducted from their 180 mil auction $$$ and you would gain 4 mil from the trade. I dont know if this was posted but trades are allowed even if they put you over the cap!!

You have spent 180 mil and you trade a 4 mil player for a 8 mil player. You would end up with 184 mil spent, you can bid on any other players unless you get below 180 mil but it is allowed.

Thanks to Sean big-big for keeping me alive while traveling. And for allowing me to frop 35 giant ones on Yount.

Thanks again Sean, I know the pressure to to f-up is big and you did great.
