well, looking at the market right now
a) Superior trainer - $16,500 salary - $338,000 bid.
b) Superior trainer - $25,000 salary, - $140k bid.
c) Superior Trainner - $33,500 salary - $1k bid.

So the difference between a and c, is about $16k salary, and $338k purchase price, which would only take 20 weeks to make up the difference. In that time, trainer a) salary is $22,200, whilst trainnee c) salary is $45k per week.

So in 20 weeks, the difference goes from about $16k to $23k per week.

Now, you may find that with some of the lower level staff, such as an advanced doctor, the purchase price difference between a $11k salary doctor and a $20k salary doctor is still only $1000, so yes, why on earth would someone bid on the $20k salary doctor. But he is only advanced level, so you don't get much, and there isnt much demand, so price is low (basic economics. low demand + High supply = low prices).

Conversely with, better staff.... Higher demand, and lower suplpy = Higher prices.

Don't get me wrong, people sitll bid more than what they should for staff... but the weekly savings are made now, rather than waiting 20 weeks to get your money back.

is it starting to make sense now?

Yes thanks. I think we both learned something. Just to make myself clear the point I was trying to make is that there is a line you should pay for a staff member. After that line it's not worth it. No one should ever pay 2-300k for a staff member.

Nobody should pay more than 75k.

well thats true, nobody should pay more than $30 for a ticket to see the basketball, but they do. Nobody should buy a car for more than $50k, but they do. etc etc

People shouldnt pay more than $1m for an MVP trainee, but they do.

you can't change the stupidity of people.

Yes, but by posting the message I'm trying to educate the market and lower the cost of staff.
You actually can make people smarter. It's called learning. :)

I honestly think teams are not meant to have all 3 at top level when they start off. me personally I think it best to just 1 type of staff maybe later on as the arena grows. You can get all 3.

Buying one staff is a money saver as well..

Or even when they do understand English, they don't understand BB

No need to be confused mate, you're right, people are paying too much for staff. You should stick to your calculations.

well stop it! The more your opposition spends their money in an unwise manner, the better advantage you have!

Stop giving away all your secrets!

haha

You're right but I'd rather not have to spend 2 weeks of earnings to get a staff member. If someone wants to spend 1 billion on a player or arena thats their call. I just want a reasonably cost staff member. The other thing is that BB needs to spawn more staff members to accommodate supply. There are not even close enough trainers to satisfy the demand. Spawn 5 more per 24hrs.. Not a big deal.
