Is it considered bad form to not reveal that you have other offers out there involving a player you're offering?
Scenario. I sent out offers to different teams (4 of them) all involving a player I was interested in selling. One owner sent a counter but no dialogue. He also didn't reject my first offer. I rejected his counter and assuming he wasn't interested in my offer I revoked it. A little while later he emails me that he was willing to accept my first offer; no other conversation. I didn't write back anything but simply reoffered it. However, between that time and when he got around to trying to accept it one of the other owners accepted one of my other offers. When the guy saw this he got insulted and said I acted in 'poor taste'.
Did I do anything wrong? I made him no promises. It was first come first served in my mind.
(I also told him that he had his chance. He could have simply accepted my first offer. By holding out for better he lost out.)

Re: Etiquette Question re: trade offers
There have been plenty of times I've had someone offered to me and then the trade was auto-withdrawn because that player was traded to someone else. It's never even crossed my mind to be upset about that.
Heck, with the number of owners out there that sit around and just let trades sit in their inbox without responding to them, you almost have to offer a guy you're looking to move to multiple teams to get something done in a timely fashion.
Besides this guy doubly has no room to be upset because he could have accepted the trade in the first place. It's not like he didn't see it in time, he just got greedy and tried to milk something extra out of you.

Re: Etiquette Question re: trade offers
Personally, I don’t think it’s bad etiquette. Sometimes, I will tell owners that I have other offers out there but I definitely don’t do that every time.

Re: Etiquette Question re: trade offers
It isn't bad etiquette at all. It sounds more like he was salty because he didn't get the guy.

Re: Etiquette Question re: trade offers
I give people a heads up when I have sent a few offers involving the same player(s). I make it seem like I’m doing it as a courtesy, but really I’m doing it to apply pressure to take the offer and not shop around.
You’re fine. He made the mistake of countering an offer that he thought was good enough to accept.

Re: Etiquette Question re: trade offers
Personally I think it is bad etiquette to counter a trade without declining the original offer. He takes the risk in not accepting the original offer. He also could have just reoffered the original trade back to you instead of messaging you.
