=== Buying players ===
In order to buy a player from another club you have to visit Hattrick's player market, under the [[Transfers]] menu. This is where you'll find out who's for sale. You can only buy players on the transfer list. You can't buy, or exchange, for that matter, players directly from another [[club]]. If you don't see a player that you like in your country's local market - you can search either an individual [[countries|country]] or by one of eight regions, these are all available from the drop-down box on the transfer search page.
When you've found a player you want, click on his name and you'll enter his player page. This is where you may place your offer. You must raise the bid by € 1 000 or 2% more, whichever is greater.
Note that the sum of your bids cannot put you more than € 200 000 into [[debt]].
Bids must be raised by at least € 1 000 or 2%, depending on which amount is bigger. Only full multiples of € 1 000 counts, e.g. a bid of € 1 999 may be overbid by a € 2 000 bid. You may bid on a player right up until the deadline. If someone places an offer less than 3 minutes before the deadline, the deadline will be extended for another 3 minutes. This continues until only one bidder remains and no other bidders raise the stakes before the stated deadline time. A sale is confirmed when the words "Bidding is finished" appear beneath the selling price. Also, when you win a bid, if the new player does not get along with his teammates, you may see team spirit decrease.
Keep in mind that the [[server]] might be down just as the deadline is running out. You'll be taking a chance by waiting until the last minute before making your move. If the [[server]] is down, you're to blame for not acting earlier.
A great help when buying players is the information concerning his abilities, personality etc. You may also want to consider a player's [[TSI]], or [[Total Skill Index]]. However, the current market value of a player may differ greatly from what his TSI might lead you to expect as, above all, it's his top ability (or abilities) that is most relevant - a player being "[[skills#Player_abilities_etc|world class]]" at something and "[[skills#Player_abilities_etc|weak]]" in all other abilities will fetch a higher market price than one who is [[skills#Player_abilities_etc|solid]] at everything. Remember that even if current [[form]] doesn't have a lot of impact on the market value, it will matter for his next couple of games. An expensive player won't necessarily be the saviour you need to get your team out of a tight spot. If you wish, you can use the [[Transfer Compare]] button in order to see what a similar player has recently been sold for on the market.

Selling or Buying Players

Selling players

In order to sell a player you have to place him on the transfer list. When doing this, you must also choose a category from goalkeeper to forward, and set an asking price. Note that most people will search by skills whichever category you select, so it doesn't matter much what player category you place him in.

You have to declare a starting price for the player. This is the lowest amount for which you're prepared to let him go. He'll be on the transfer list 3 days before going to the club that has offered the most for him. There are various theories regarding the value of starting prices, with some people feeling players should always be listed for 0, whilst others prefer listing for the minimum price they feel is acceptable.

A sold player disappears off to his new club immediately after the bidding is over (although note this may take some time, particularly if the servers are busy). If a buyer isn't found he stays at your club. If you have placed a player on the transfer list you MAY NOT change your mind! He's there for 3 days, and that's that! Also, keep in mind that all information on the player's abilities will be made common knowledge when you place him on the transfer list.

You may select a player for the team even if he is on the transfer list; however, if he is sold by the time the match starts, a substitute player will take his place at the pitch. If a player is sold during a match, he will finish the match and then leave.

After every completed deal, the player's agent, mother club, and last club will all take their cut of the sale price. The exact amount you will receive depends on how long the player has been with your club. The most you can expect is 93%. It will cost you 1 000 to place a player on the transfer list, which is not refunded if he isn't sold. Note: If you are selling one of your own youth players you are not considered the previous owner - but the next time he is sold you will receive previous club money (if he has played a match for your team) as well as 2% of the sale price for being the mother club. After that you will only receive money for being the mother club whenever the player is sold. The sale of a player after more than exactly six days (= 144 hours) from being pulled from the youth squad may result in a loss of team spirit.
