Auction Watch List

Bottom Of The Sixth · 11-09-2018, 04:47 PM

I would really like to see an option added to the game that would allow us to be able to follow any auction and to be able to see what the winning bid price was.

This would be a great help in getting a realistic idea what certain cards are currently going for, in the open auction market.

Thanks

good idea.

Any/all additional data visibility for the buyers all around would be great, really. Any reason the buyers shouldn't see the same 'recent sale/buy it now' prices as sellers do when they list a card?

Personally I like it dark for both sides because it adds more thought and variety to the game. You don't have some list in front of you with recommended prices, so you have to look at the players attributes and say, "is that player worth 2000 pp to me? Is he worth 2000 pp to anyone?". If you have price lists to go by then you could almost just run a script to get the players you want.

In poker if you haven't paid to see the winners hand, he's not obligated to show it to you. Likewise, a final price should just be kept between a buyer and seller.

For those of us who play the market, it's a great feeling to get a good player cheap, or an unexpected high price for a player you hadn't rated too well. Working out a good price is part of the fun IMO.

I also prefer to keep the mystery.
I would prefer however ability to check final cost of a particular player during past auctions. As far as I can tell I can't see the final cost of auctions I did not bid on or initiate.
Really enjoying this mode.
