Are you just accepting the first offer that comes along? If so, that's your problem right there.
You don't need to spend hours and hours doing in-depth research on dozens of teams owners, but right now I'm guessing you're not doing any research at all. Find a happy medium, and be patient. When you make your marketplace ad, say in the ad that you're going to take 2 or 3 days to pick a team.
As offers come in, spend 1 or 2 minutes looking up the team's history. Really doesn't take long. If they yo-yo back and forth between good seasons and bad seasons, odds are they're one of the many teams that bounces back and forth between Competitive (where they kick ass) and Elite (where they get their ass kicked), and sooner or later a team like that is going to reset or fold. Decline their offer.
If you get offers from several teams that have a history of consistent success, send a quick PM to the team owner and ask a few questions about the team to make sure they're a good fit for you. If they make extravagant promises, I'd avoid them. If they write with the approximate skill of a 4-year-old, be wary. If they sound like they actually have some idea of what the fuck they're doing, keep them on your list.
After fielding offers for a couple of days, pick the best team and accept their offer.
And that's it! You're done! Should take 30 minutes of work, tops, spread out over 2 or 3 days.
If you're not even willing to put in 30 minutes to find a good long-term home for your dot, well, LOLU. Better get used to having to find a new home every season after your team resets. Again.
great post
