The guys are right, don't do this! My son has a team, and there was a Center I had that was a great rebounder, but didnt do much else. I outgrew him, but my son heard me always talking about how great this center was. So when I decided to sell him, my son wanted him. Before I listed him, i asked for a BB and indicated my son would make just one bid, and it would be below the transfer range.

The BB told me this would raise HUGE red flags, that its simply not allowed. If you think about it, it makes sense. Even if its below the range...If I list a guy for 1K, and someone bids 2K, and my family member bids 3K, and then the first guy comes back and bids 4K, even if the player is worth 15K the natural thought would be that the guy who bought him could have paid 2K for the player if my family member didnt make that one bid. There would be no way to prove that my family member really truly was interested in that player...so all that would be considered is the net result...That net result would be that the guy who won the bid, paid 2K more than he needed to, and me as the seller received 2K more than I would have if my family member hadn't placed a bid.

That is a tiny, silly example..can you imagine this on a bigger scale? There would be no way to ensure the integrity of the transfer list players being bought and sold. So the strict hard fast rule of no selling or buying by family members or close associates is the ONE sure way to make sure that its fair for everyone involved.

If i pay the money between the range of BB given...And i really need that player..Can i buy form our friend?

No, you're just asking for trouble even if you have no ill conceived intentions.

Asking for more than trouble - there's over 55,000 other teams available to buy players from.

One of the conditions of allowing multiple people in a household/office to play BB is that there are absolutely no transfers between the two.

in short its ok to have a family member using one pc for BB but
1. Do not buy/transfers player/s with each other.
2. its ok to have a scrimmage every week.

i guess it sums it all...

Well, that, and you notify a GM when the second team is formed.

This is a good idea.

Anyway, thank you for mentioning it :-)
