Purchased for £286,000 - any ideas how far away from a pop - That will depend on whether I throw one or two nets at him before selling

Hope you get a nice bidding war tonight. Might go as high as £5m.

12 mins to go and no sign of a bidding war :thumbdown:

 

[MrB]

Surprised, especially with that lump of crap going for £5m+ earlier.

 

[* ORM *]

Oh well. Still an 8 mill war chest and a possible pick up on the trainee I bought earlier and I've expanded the ground. I sold out last season and it looks like I'll have a decent enough OD season to warrant an increase slightly above the norm. I need to see the new leagues before deciding to splash out. I may not need anoter bat for week 1. No bargains I saw in advance of tomorrows shutdown

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

BT back up now.

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Did you chose Ireland deliberately to aid his international prospects?

Yep.

Looking at him again, if I'd gone for a bowler rather than a batter, I would have got something similar to B. Can't believe he's only at 2k when he finishes tonight....

 

[MrB]

Surprised yours didn't sell for more BB, not surprised you bought him back.

Will be hoping for £1m+ for mine if not I might do the same.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Yep, gonna train him on 2 x batting, 1 x stamina and fielding and sell him when he pops to Strong batting.

Just seen there's a 17yo Prof / Med with Med Stamina gone for 7m (cautious F), and another 17yo has gone for 4.59m (wage 1,158), and the Ireland mob were moaning that I bought my one back...

Can't believe you haven't even got a bid of 500k on yours when there's less than 24 hrs to go...

 

[MrB]

He's on the move now. Be nice to get above £1.5m.

Carnivore Robots bids £1,000,000 for Haran. Deadline is in 5 hour(s).

On reflection I probably should have trained him to proficient then sold but there's no guarantee he'd pop first week, particularly with competent stamina and mediocre batting to add a little to the wages.

I also shouldn't really moan too much or Muse will punch me.

 

[Grayson]

I went to bed last night and lost by a single bid on a £1,002 wage respectable YP. The price? £225,000. Damn. I also missed 2 low respectables last night for about 40k each as I forgot about them until a minute after the deadline!

So bargains can still be found, which explains why it's taking longer to get bids. Some people not setting a price seem to be getting stung.

 

[MrB]

It also seems half the BT populace are hugely BTR biased. So a bowler with say respectable WK will go for a lot higher than just a regulation bowler because they wind up with 9,000 BTR rather than 6,000. I'm hoping the mediocre batting will draw in a few bidders, even if that's not an ideal base to start an all rounder from (I did consider 5 netting him but decided to stick with my single net policy).

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

You mean like this guy, current bid 2.5m :headbang:
