I need to vent about 2 sales - my first positive bidding war

[Alf]

First, the players
Both were listed at $4K

Hector Lemaresquier [playerid=13050303]
18 years, passable form, healthy
A sympathetic guy who is calm and honest.
Speciality: Powerful

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

--

Paul Shoenberger [playerid=8165791]
23 years, inadequate form, healthy
Speciality: Unpredictable

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

Hector was a youth pull from last season. I had already listed him twice at $35K and $10K with no takers. Paul was my original starting winger (now you guys know I have a $250K man at winger).

The result
8/12/2003 Sold Hector Lemaresquier to A.S. ELEU 52 000 Euro (32 000 Euro)
8/12/2003 Sold Paul Shoenberger to Ozoir-la-Ferriere 24 000 Euro (43 000 Euro)


The analysis
I was merely expect $10K for Hector the middie and just a bid for Paul the winger at $4K. Those 2 sales combined netted me $70K ! Time to invest on some solid defender now ! Foreign teams were still bidding within the reasonable price range, after that, I got lucky that 2 french teams continued into a bidding war. WooT !
