It isn't cheating, lots of people buy stuff from their own shop. You will never pay more then a cyclist is worth, unless you should choose to do so, so i don't see the problem.

hey i am new in here and i dont know the fair price of the cyclists, its normal that on a bidfigth you pay more sometimes. It should be correct its nonsense that you can bid on your one cyclists and buy your on merchandising. If you dont think its cheat i can understand your point but to me is abuse of a game bug and it should be punished. but like always its just a noob opinion you just have to read it not agree with it Edit: typo

Buying your own cyclist is mostly about changing your mind (or correcting an errror) , sometimes it is about not gettiing the amount you expected from him, I don't see any reason why any of the above should be considered as cheating because there is already the penalty of a mooddrop, the financial penalty (maybe a bit to low but still) and it is not possible to lower his current demands (wage & bonusses).
But if you want IP to consider this I think you have to make a poll, like announced somewhere on this subforum.

I'm not going to remove it. Although I will consider a higher financial penalty, like 10% of the transferprice.

I think both of you are so wrong.
1 - this is a manager game, its all about mistakes you make the better choices take a litle advantage if you put your rider on TL and then you see its a mistake you need to say goodbye to him and live with it.
2 - Maybe cheat its a powerful word in this case but its lack of sportsmanship if i am the only one that im interested in the rider and the rider will go for below transfer value why the hell is the owner biding on him to rise the bid ? if you dont like the value that he is going to be sold next time put a higher SB.
Sorry to say but this is to me an major bug in the game and should be corrected and remember this is an manager game and its all about your choises good ones or bad ones dont make us all only have good ones and have the chance to modify when we see that was a bad one.
This is what makes manager games so great.

I would agree with a higher penalty for the teams who buy their own players, at the moment it's far too low. As ecas also says, manager games need some management. Where is the managing if you only have very small disadvantages for making mistakes??
If you IRL tell a player he can go, I don't think he will come back, in no 100 years!

There are >1600 active teams and only 50-60 forum users. Do you think the poll is a good solution?

Do you think the poll is a good solution? it is the best possible solution, I mean you can't throw in polls on the website for every suggestion someone makes. People who really care about the game will visit the forum and if they see a suggestion in which they want to have their say they can always make a forum account just to vote. But I agree only that when there is doubt about some of the more important issues a poll on the site itself can be wishful.

It is neither a cheat nor a bug. You should always be able to bid on your own cyclist, not only because you regret putting him on the transfer market, or because you accidently did set a too low starting bid, but even because you think you can influence the price yourself.
After all, every bid you make will be a risk: will someone go over your bid, or not. If not, you have to sell him again and you will have your money at least 3 days later and maybe have to sell him under worse conditions (big tour already started, more similar riders listed at that time ...). Many people will even stop bidding when they see that an owner systematically overbids them, so if it is not to correct the error of listing that rider, it will often have a negative impact on the sale.

this tactic can be used for dropping the racers mood so offering a new contract will be less expensive?
