That's a rhetorical question, and my last comment.
You can't be serious... using your scenario, if I see an extremely undervalued player about to sell way below my perceived market value, of course I'm going to bump, and I'm going to do it by as small a margin as possible seeing as the rest of the teams seemed ready to let the player undersell. Why overpay in that case?
