I think transglobal had it right when he offered auctions before going out of buisness. By making te delas public he was able to allow airlines to buy aircraft at below value without unfairly benifiting any one airline.

Yeah, but its the though that counts, right?
In all seriousness, several airlines have apparently given up playing and sold their aircraft at min prices. Not sure what became of them or their aircraft, though.

IMHO, I don't think something like this should be considered cheating. Companies sell of their assets real cheap all the time when they go out of business. Maybe if there was a way to control it such as banning their IP from starting another airline.
Companies auction of their assets to cover debts when they've been forced out of buinsess.

I think it is unfair to do the above, but if it happens in real life, then I suppose it can happen here.

Well in Ireland anyway, when banks sell off assets due to bankruptcy they dont usually wait for the highest bidder, they offload the goods asap.

So if two people offer diffrent prices they go with thw lower one? They don't wait to get a higher bidder, but I'm sure they go with the highest bid they have.

In business, you can do whatever you want IRL, same should it be here.

One of the members of our alliance is quitting the game so he offered all of his AC at cheap prices for alliance members.

In any case, the anti-cheat script maybe controls strange sellings like feeder airlines or anything else. Any mod would like to comment this?
BTW, I took the 3rd. A321-200 and a Q400 offered in the public market for half the market value. I couldn't believe it when I saw this, and of course, didn't hesitate on taking them.

I'm obviously in the minority (or pehaps alone), and I accept that, but I don't agree with a lot of the premises here. In real life you could offer your assets for less than you could get for them, BUT YOU WOULDN'T, becasue the money was real. (you might have asset fire sales, but that would only becaseu you needed the money imidiately)
As I said above, my opinion is obvisouly not that of the majority, and if most AE p[layers are OK with everyone doing this, then thats the way it is. I simply don't undersatnd how this is any diffrent in practical terms then gaining from a feeder airline.
