more to get the message across. if you receive an offer that you find "offensive" (never understood this by the way), counter with something you feel it is equally as "offensive".

But why would you be so mad and why does it make me look untrustworthy? I'm completely transparent with them and tell them I'm putting their offer on the trade bait, if they say no, I don't.

Needs: WR

**Jared Cook**
Offer1: Goedert, Humphries, 3.05
Offer2: Hyde, '21 1st

It's drawn the ire of a few league mates calling it "lazy" and not wanting their offers public, but I'm a little confused about their outrage, I couldn't care less if someone posted an offer I made on a player. Would you have an issue if someone in your league sold players in this manner?

I'd blacklist you from any trades if I were in a league with you if that happened to one of my offers. A) I'd never consent to allowing you to post it in the first place so if you did, the trust is out the window. B) Anyone that allows that is questionable as an owner to allow you to post an offer hoping someone ups your offer. If I made the offer, that's what I want to pay. Idgaf that Jimmy from team 3's offer was better than mine.

As far as getting low balled, if someone consistently sends you dog-bleep offers, send the same back. I used to always get bad offers for Zeke or Kamara. Worst one being Zeke for Drake and 2 2019 2nds ( this was 2 years ago). No reason to get offended, just sent him an equally shitty counter of Zeke for 1.01, 1.03, Amari Cooper, CmC, Drake, Julio. Then when he said this is far off, I replied now we both understand what bleep offers look like. Haven't seen a horrible offer from him since. All handled privately and efficiently.

Setting aside for a moment whether or not the behavior in question is appropriate, why on earth would you want to play in a league where nobody wants to trade with you?

Definitely feels like you're trying to get a bidding war going and doing it in an unethical manner.

I disagree with your evaluation of Cook, but that's beyond the scope of this thread. Where is the /kill thread button, as this is getting exhausting now.

Even if you disagree, getting any 1st for Cook is not a "bad offer." And this is getting exhausting because you don't like the responses you're getting and thought more people would be on your side and tell you what you did was ok.

What did I do that was unethical if I told the people I was posting their offers on trade bait before I posted them?
