I hate bidding wars, I am just going to overpay!

This is the thought process for two people who are now my greatest friends in hattrick.

A little background here. I had decided to keep my recent youth pull and was going to sell another trainee instead. I accidently put the wrong trainee up, I instead put this guy up with a 10000 asking price:

Emanuel Mikula (12373588)
18 years, passable form, healthy

A pleasant guy who is calm and upright.
Has disastrous experience and inadequate leadership abilities.


Speciality: Quick

Nationality: Polska
Assessed value: 82 000 US$
Wage: 1 020 US$/week including 20% Bonus
Owner: Fighting Crawfish
Warnings: 0


Stamina: inadequate Goaltending: disastrous
Playmaking: passable Passing: passable
Winger: weak Defending: inadequate
Scoring: poor Set Pieces: weak

So after a constant bidding from 10k to 90k, I decide to update my dynasty and log in and see someone bid on both guys I have up. Excited I go to see how much I will get and realize some guy put a 200k bid on him!!!! I overpayed and payed 49k or so for this guy about 5 weeks ago. Plus he just bumped to passable. Thank you vinarna of Sweden.

I then decide to put my latest YP up at a big price tag that I would be elated if anyone bit at. So for 150k you could have this guy right here:

Morton Wren (14876274)
17 years, passable form, healthy

A sympathetic guy who is temperamental and dishonest.
Has disastrous experience and weak leadership abilities.


Speciality: Technical

Nationality: USA
Assessed value: 134 000 US$
Wage: 1 140 US$/week
Owner: Fighting Crawfish
Warnings: 0


Stamina: passable Goaltending: disastrous
Playmaking: inadequate Passing: passable
Winger: poor Defending: passable
Scoring: poor Set Pieces: poor

So now after adding 11K seats to my stadium, I will be out of debt and looking for some studs to help my squad out some. Looks like a couple of my 20 year old solids I pulled last year might just make excellent p/m after all!

The best part is that both bids have about a day left on them!!!

I could actually be in the black after this!!!!

I love them. With 14 hours left in my 17 yo solid defenders bidding the high bid was 600k. Final Bid was:

1 122 000 US$

Thank you Daniel "I brought in more money than Tom Sanders" Lucero!

Also this will be my sixth straight week of bringing in a profit of 20k or more. Course this week the profit is 988k and I'll have (1 287 171) US$ money in the bank with a home game next week.

If it will help your bookeeping, illinifan, you can just give me the $287,171 spare change so the numbers look all nice and even and all.

Nobody has bought my solid scorer yet, I've dropped the price now...but I'm slightly concerned...and to think I could have had Australia!

I went from -400k to 60k with the sale of these two this week with everything else. Now, who to buy?
