Guys,
I will say this only once and then will not be commenting on this matter again:
The Parker card was open to offers for about a week originally. A number of people made offers early on, some made a number of offers over the course of a couple of days. It was not an auction and there was no bidding. Those offers were not disclosed by me to any other person in order to induce higher offers. As things had died down on the offer front I made the decision to shorten the 7 day period down to 5 days.
Each offer was considered on it's merits and I chose the offer that suited me best. That is my prerogative and I stand by the decision that I made. The whole process was as simple as that.
I understand there will disappointment for those that missed out. We have all been in that position at some stage and know the feeling.
I'm sorry that someone feels like the process was a sham. I can't control what people think.
I decided to put the card on here to give all Broncos fans the same opportunity. If I was chasing the money I would have stuck it on Ebay. I have done things this way on this site before today, and if I find myself in the same position in the future, will do it this way again. I am quite comfortable with the process in it's fairness.
At the end of the day the decision is mine alone and I do not have to justify that decision to anyone.
Thank you for your time and support.
Cheers
Mark
