Haha, its not just you, it happens to me too.
Have you ever noticed when you sell a player too they normally go within 2 or 3 rounds too. When you go to buy them though, its a lot more...
lol it happens to me too all the time .
I've been trying the strategy suggested in another thread by BigB79, and that's to bid like a bot.
and wow, it's been working, I've used it twice now, bidding every round with exactly 15 seconds to go, both times 7 or 8 other bidders have been in at the start and I got both players won by the end of round 6. Maybe just luck but .. I think bidding like a bot works and scares other bidders off : D
So cheers BigB79 for the idea ... and bid like bots people .. it may just work ))

Thats my server from 5-10pm can't buy any players lost 20T on my second team .
Wow, that is harsh. I'd also not be comfortable bidding against someone who's photo is the greyed out guy that is used when no "real" pic is uploaded - as I'd be worried I'd be against either a bot, a spam account or someone trying to get me to waste Tokens.Quote:

That guy paid 3.42M for the player with 1.58M market value? That's crazy. On my server I don't even look at the players with selling price just 10% below their market value. For example my last signing was 2 tokens and 3.57M for the MC with 5.1M market value.Quote:

Happens with everyone one or the other time,I sometimes see really good players go in 2 or 3 knockout rounds but when I try to get one it usually goes overboard so I stop myself from entering into a bidding war :p
I always bid with 15 seconds to go - Other than sceptics thinking you may be a bot it also shows that you are committed to the auction - The advise i would give others is to avoid bidding against Asians, they are crazy! They all seem to be crazy gamblers that will stop at nothing to get there prize. Its like trying to get on a roulette machine at the bookies, they play all day and seem to have money coming out there ears. It was an Asian fellow that took me on my longest adventure way down in bidding round 53 before i gave up.
Not all Asians. The Thais and the Vietnamese mostly. Indians don't get involved in bidding wars.:DQuote:

I avoid bidding with Israelis, Vietnamese, Thais and Indonesians. Even when playing in cup or CL base on experiences I realize they have many (sometimes up to 8-10) supporters viewing the match. There was few times in the 1st half score was level or I was leading by 1 goal but when 2nd half start and my opponents have many supporters and gain 2% with each supporters and I loss the match by 3-4 goals.Quote:

And I got 3 strikers about the same market value (around 4-5M) each for 9.5M for all 3 of them. The last one has 4.9 market value and I paid 3.5M for him. My team value is 60M and I paid for my players 40M at most. So I'm wondering why is that possible? Does it depend on server, time of the day or level? Should I expect more bidding wars when I move to the next level (I see you're level 5, and I'm level 4 right now) or that's gonna be the same slow market for my level?Quote:

I assume when you watch an auction, the player might not be very good (otherwise you could have bid already :)Quote:

anyway, I avoid bid on Peak hours :)
Holy bleep. Been using this "bid like a bot" technique today and it's working. Yay for anecdotal evidence.
there is competition to buy that players, :( :cool:
I always bid for Gens players and because they are very expensive there is no big competition for them .... but agree.. vietnamese and Thai is difficult to bid against... its important to set up how many tokens you want to bid and not to bid for dignity :D
don't bid againts a vietnamese, they take your pick your team, and if they see you bid againts they will bid with out thinking. just to see you scare of them and next time nobody bid againts them. they have a large comumityQuote:
