thunk the ship has sailed inq trading him. There was merrit in trading him from full price. But I always read how a value of 150k per trade has been made. So trading him out and probably back in seems very silly to avoid a 100k drop
Remember once traded out then he becomes just another option you can trade in. This thinking of "in and out" implies that it is committing two trades. It's not. If you trade him back in at say $520K (bargain) then it's no different to trading say Merrett or whoever in at that time as an upgrade you are doing anyway.
BUT, it's whether you think a $520K Neale is a great upgrade target by R8 when the whole world will be jumping on. This is where the $100K comes into play if your alternative is $600K. Additionally it might be that this round there is an alternative rising in price like say Ridley or Dunkely where if you wait you could be paying $70K more than they are now, while others pay $520K for Neale.
IF Neale does in fact drop that much. I make it if he gets 100 the next 2 games he "only" sheds about another $65K. If he throws up a 150 in one of those two weeks he could only drop another $40K. It could be a more marginal move than it looks now the big first price drop is out of the way.
I am not advocating one way or the other.
