I agree - as time passes, there are more sellers and fewer buyers. Also, the sooner you trade a player, the more games he gets to help his new club, which means the new club will pay more for him.
On the other hand, right at the deadline, desparate teams do desparate things and you can really make a killing if you get lucky.
This might be true, but if Mark is on the block, he is the best player available on the trade market. There may be fewer buyers, but his impact will make any contending team much stronger.
