[Mike]

Bruno Gervais + BOS 2nd '12

If you want PMs instead... meh

[Robin Hood]

PM/MSN is my method of preference. But I'll jot your offer down Mikey.

[Mike]

Will there be a leading bid displayed to incentivize us?

[Robin Hood]

Will there be a leading bid displayed to incentivize us?

nope. PMs and MSN. I will not counter. Leading bid will receive Markov on Monday.

[Robin Hood]

3 offers in. One in the lead.

[Robin Hood]

If your offer is beaten by another, I will PM/MSN you and let you know.

Penis.

2 7ths

[Robin Hood]

Best offer thus far is: Depth D-Man + Former 1st round pick + 2nd Rounder this year

[Robin Hood]

2 decent offers.

10 Lowballs and Counting.

And for a guy who gets so much shit for lowballing, Scott's offer is in the lead <- Just to point out the unfair way in which his offers are treated.

I do not think he has that label one bit. He is always fair with his offers. If he wants a player he pays, every time and usually doesn't start low. Gets to the point.

You are not supposed to state the top offer in a silent auction...By stating the top offer you are essentially starting a bidding war, but you already knew that.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!>!?!

[armandtanzarian]

lol....You mean Shiv mislead us for personal gain??????? get out.........His wording was just so nice and sincere. The nerve.

I know if i had a sales based company i would be recruiting in BBKL with confidence.

[Robin Hood]

You guys are so dumb.

1) I had no intention of posting the best offer but people who have bid keep asking what the highest bid is.
2) Whatever the highest bid is, will definitely be posted on Monday. And that's no joke.

[MSP4LYFE]

It's too late, the entire process has been compromised.

[Scott]

I lowball people's chins!!!

[Robin Hood]

It's too late, the entire process has been compromised.

You just don't want Scott* to get shit for free lol

Scott is less likely to get Markov for a bargain when you announce the framework of the top offer. My issue is simple, don't label this a "silent auction" when really all it is a clever attempt to drive up the interest in Andrei Markov.
