Re: Not sure if anyone else does this. (Trades)

When I send out a trade I actually send it to multiple teams that may need that player. If one person accepts the trade I'd like to wait at least 12-24hrs before I accept just in case I get a better offer from some of the people I sent the same/similar trade too.

I do this too.

I wouldn't wait the 12-24 hrs to accept though, once I get a fair deal I'll close.

On a footnote. The amount of abuse you can get back is absurd, thinking that you are out to deliberately skin them, ha ha wow!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you offer a trade, and the other team accepts, it's done.

You don't have the option of waiting to see if you get a better offer.

Maybe I misunderstand what you're saying here.

Yeah, I really don't like the idea of offering someone a trade that you yourself may not end up accepting. If you don't want someone to take an offer... then don't make the offer.

If you want to make sure you get the best deal possible and want to feel out the market for a player, just PM the owners with your proposed players and suss out the best deal that way. Simple.

I think he means a counter trade.

I'd do this, but so many owners do not reply, BUT will accept/reject an offer.
I'd love to have the option of being able to bulk send a PM with trade offers/PMs

I'm lazy and not a message person myself but it is an option so I'll use it next time. Don't get me wrong, when I send out trades I'm happy to take them but lets be honest when you send out 12 trades to 12 different teams even if its just draft picks it's going to be some trades that you would take over others.

You might log in only at night and I sent a trade to 12 teams at 7am and its accepted by noon. You missed out because of timing.

imo most people sending out trades to lots of people are finding someone who is easily ripped off. Some trades i have been offered are laughable at best. Gustoons offer to trade me 5 punters for my 2 star rb's was a better trade than a lot i have been offered.
