Anyone pull off any Panic Button, Sell High, Buy Low Trades yet.... (1 Viewer)

[KellysHeroes]

Tuesday morning... a manager asked what I wanted for D Garrad (a WW pick up 2 day prior to Sunday)...

I offered Garrad / 2008 2nd for his 2008 1st

He countered w/ Garrad for his 2008 2nd.... oh yeah. Turning a WW FA into a future pick is fun .

Trying but no one in my league is that impatient...Tried to package D Ward into a trade for L Johnson, but the other owner replied he couldn't buy high and sell low.

Maybe he was high when he made the trade?

 

[einstein2u]

traded TO for Gore.....hope it works out.

 

[notoriousbob]

I acquired D Branch for what I considered cheap. I gave up D Jax. I feel like D Jax is an injury concern, so I feel like I got an upgrade. Basically traded a 3rd rd WR for a 5th rd WR after one week.

Edit to add, I traded T Bell and Hackett high before week one for Calvin Johnson. I'm feeling pretty good about that one right now.

 

[Kiddnets]

Couldn't give Holt away before week 1 - everyone thought he was done

After this week I dealt him for a solid package - glad to be rid of him with the knee issues and OL problems.

 

[HoTnickZ]

This is usually much easier said than done.

You have to almost end up taking more of a loss than you anticipated, for possible future gain.

I had rostered 4 QBs before I picked up Garrard... then moved Garrard for a future 2nd... and too boot; I picked up Boller 12 hrs later.so turning nothing into a 2008 2nd round draft pick isn't a good idea.

YES.... I am currently trying to move T Holt in another league...even after a solid weekend; people are still bummed on him.

Once again what does that have to do with the thread topic? Selling high is trading a player after a great performance for more than he's worth on the basis that that player will not be as good going forward. What did David Garrard do in Week 1 that makes you think he had a great performance? All you listed in your first post was a general trade. Great!

Classic sell high. Well done, as long as you got good value.

200 yds and a TD w/ no INTs plus about 30 extra on the ground is a great day for David Garrard... hey.. Remind all of us what Garrard was worth last week; oh yeah... Nothing... just getting anything for him is selling high.

 

[BringItOn]

In a free work redraft league, I just Traded D.Ward and Chambers for Chad Johnson.

 

[RJS113]

I was all set to take Lee Evans in the 4th round of my draft, but he was taken 4 picks earlier. Edge ending up falling to me there, so I took him.

After this week, I was able to trade Edge for Evans.

Sure its a good idea but it is not selling high. You really didnt sell high and get top dollar, but just merely got something for nothing.

WOW!! Great move!! This is a steal and even if you hadn't clarified before that it was a free league just the description of the trade would have shown that.

I'm really high on Evans this year. And the trade really improved my team. My starting lineup now is:KitnaAlexanderPortisChad JohnsonEvansSantana MossShayne GrahamVikings Defense

 

[fatboyj711]

two words...

WHO CARES

 

[fsufan]

I sold T. Bell high in my eyes

league 1- dyansty league

I trade Bell for Romo. need a back up to palmer

League 2- dyansty league

traded Bell, Horn and a 2nd round pick in 08 for TO and cooley

 

[rascal]

I got Braylon Edwards and Kenton Keith for Sammy Morris (Maroney owner) and Isaac Bruce.

 

[kashmoney]

i did what ur not supposed to do:

LJ, Brees, and Bmore

for

ADP, VY, and Indy

(keeper league)

 

[Buckna]

League 2- dyansty leaguetraded Bell, Horn and a 2nd round pick in 08 for TO and cooley

Nice. I'm not sure Bell would pull TO in return in most leagues.I've already seen a couple teams throw in the towel after week one and announce firesales in some of my dynasty leagues. Seems a little early, but I guess it depends on if your strategy was to be bad this year to get a high pick.

 

[chicken]

I traded High on Chris Brown (my #4RB) for a buy low Caddy. I'll let Caddy play well against NO and then probably sell him. His injury concerns concern me.

 

[radballs]

I'm always amazed at how many people push the panic button on players after one week of under performance. Itchy trigger fingers are a sure way to lower the value of your team in general. It's great though if you are able to take advantage of others who panic.

How much do you think someone would give for a almost unstartable QB like Garrad? 2nd round pick was about as good a deal as I think one could hope for in exchange for him.

i don't. depending on your league setup, a 2nd round pick could very well be "top dollar"... and if you firmly believe that garrard will go down from here, then you did indeed "sell high".plus, the whole concept of selling high is married to the concept of buying low (i.e. buying high and selling high typically doesn't get you anywhere). since you bought low (FA pickup) and already had four QBs, rostering garrard for a few weeks would've increased your investment in him. by selling him after an up-game, you freed a roster slot (for more wheeling and dealing) and bettered your draft position for the following year. in other words, selling garrard now may have been the maximum value you could've received overall for the season.

Thank you....In another dynasty league... I just sent Trent Cole (my back up DE) or Brandon Jones.

what was the deal?

My league is an auction keeper with a $500 sal cap but you can accumulate up to $700 to spend in deals - with that in mind I dealt:Losman $6 and Holt $71 for McNair $2, C Brown $10, Galloway $35, Curtis $6, Gonzo $20 and $60 cashthen turned around and dealt Galloway for J Jones and $25 more dollars The $85 would get me a #2 RB next year or a #1 WR plus the players I got - was really thin at RB and TELeaves me very thin at WR: S Moss, Curtis, Welker, J Jones - but I am not a huge fan of WRs anyway - should be able to piece together some WRs later - Before this week I got rejected on every deal I tried to make - classic sell high!

 

[Ilov80s]

I bought this week. I took an offer that gave me Ronnie Brown for Brandon Jacobs. I don't get it, but I'll take it.

Holt is the only guy there to catch passes. you better have gotten something good for him. He is still a top 5 WR

Compared to what? Evans has one of the easiest schedules in the league going forward.

I view Branch and Jax as fairly comparable....and would think DJax is the better option.

Bad knee and no Pace - I beg to differ but I got good value!

I expect that to be the case in most leagues.
