# 9.1 Market: Players

### Player Trading

* Listing a player becomes available when your **Office reaches level 5**.
* **Listing for Sale.** Every sale is an auction. To list a player, set a starting price: 100–150% of the algorithmic base price. 

  * When a player's price reaches 150% of the base value, Gem auctions begin, with a bid increment of 1 Gem (paid on top of LAZY). 
  * There is 20% Gems fee, but we **only collect every 5th Gem.** \
    Example: +0–4 Gems → 0 fee; +5–9 → 1 Gem fee; +10–14 → 2 Gems fee; etc.
  * Auction duration is 24 hours; any late bid adds 5 minutes to the auction time.
