Trade Offers

[DO Jaded]

Well, a standard rule in negotiating is that you want the other side to make the first offer. They might give you more value that you anticipated. They give you some information in doing so, and you will have disclosed nothing.

 

Whether you want to apply this tactic to ff trades is up to you.

 

And this is what is killing trading in most of my FF leagues. No one wants to make the first offer. I have actually had folks ask if I was willing to trade a player, then when I said yes they said, "Okay, make me an offer."

can we copy and paste this into the Official Fantasy Football Trading Manuel? But make it a secret page...ya know..the kind of page you need a secret decoder ring to open.

Of course, one can always respond with "what will you give me for him?'

 

Unless the guy is a practitioner of weaselry, you should get an offer. And if you don't, f him.
