This is not BM at all.

This is an auction with a set time limit. Just like in real life, people snipe bids at the very last second. That's part of the strategy of an auction...


Its a bit different, because now the pool is ruined imo, just bid last second, why run each other up rofl....

Say the next team is falcons, nobody bid til last minute of auction, get team for cheap.

Now people wont bid at all on the new threads. they will simply bid last second, and whoever posts last second will ge tteams for dirt cheap
Since thats what you promote.


They aren't gonna go for dirt cheap with 10k fg already in the pot. Don't be butthurt.

He is the host. He is the one that closes the freaking thing. That's like the auctioneer bidding on his own item at the last second because he doesn't like the price it drew.

He doesn't close it, it closes at a certain time...

He doesn't close it. The closing time is set 24 hours ahead of time. Anybody who opened the thread knew what time it was closing. Don't make shit up.

There's a set time it closes you big dummy. Wtf do you mean 'he closes it'? No, the time frame closes it. Wtf are you even talking about?

Every day for the next 32 days, 1 team will be posted.
All members can participate.
Whoever has the highest bid at the closing time wins the auction.[B](If 1:00 is closing time, only 12:59 and earlier bids count)[/B]
Winning an auction means you have that team for the pool.
Whichever team wins the Super Bowl wins 70% of the total fg, and runner up wins 30%.

All bids start at 25fg
Bids must be a minimum of 5fg higher than previous (I'd recommend more for better teams though)
NO EDITS ALLOWED AT ALL!!!! Any edit(even if it's not about a bid) will disqualify you from the team posted!
You may bid on as many teams as you'd like, but you cannot win more than 3 teams.
If the starting bid of 25fg is not reached, I'll donate the spot to someone if they want it(I will choose), will offer to the main fans first.
You can not PM me your maximum bid due to being offline, no invisible bids.
You CAN have someone bid for you, but I must know who you are bidding for, you can either PM me or post in the thread. If you don't want someone to do that, leave a very high offer in this thread that you don't think will be topped while you're gone.
fg must be sent to Crashnburn_819 at the conclusion of the auction.
Purchased teams and prices can be found HERE
Previous amounts teams went for: Steelers(1,210fg), Bears(1,050fg), Lions(1,000fg), Dolphins(700fg), Eagles(550fg), Redskins(475fg), Rams(350fg), Chiefs(325fg), Buccaneers(305fg), Raiders(210fg), Titans(205fg), Jets(150fg), Panthers(67fg), Jaguars(35fg).
Total Pot so far: 6,637fg


Good Luck Everyone!

Seattle Seahawks

To be completely honest, I'm surprised people haven't been doing it more often. When I first saw these threads I would figure it would happen like one out of every 3 or 4 teams..

Not to get involved with what is and isn't BM, but personally I figured Prone was going for a snipe when he didn't bid at all during the 24 hours. Seemed fairly obvious.


I figured this as well.

Not at all. Very clearly in the original post does it say what time it closes. He does not close it. The time closes it. Very fair.

If someone bid 4500 at 9:59 they would have gotten it.

This is how auctions work guys :\
