there was a zero maintenance program on this farm , and anything that could be bent broken or twisted was , and when done with it pushed in the trees

i bought a trailer load of junk lol, boxcar magnum 7120 showed 11.390 hours , looked used and abused was the high seller at 24 k

Takes two to tango....but sounds like you got a smokin deal.

yep its bs! and too top it off there was a lunch wagon there would have been $21 for a meal so i skipped that , hardly any live auctions anymore so was a good waste of my day

Going to an auction looking for a steal of a deal is like going to a court of law and looking for justice. In the end the majority of times you are going to be disappointed.

its a gamble , i wasted a day , but saw a fellow bidding on an item i have he lost out , so i sold him an old disc that was sitting rotting away

The auctions are a big gamble these days. Internet auctions actually get people to sometimes pay over the new cost. Saw one lot I was interested in and it was going at a decent price, went in to look at it one more time and half the product was removed from the sale with no mention of that. Person who bought it paid 2x the new cost with a warranty to boot. Decided that place isn't worth bidding at. At the others I frequent, I decided to get to know the owners and workers. Most of the places are honest but again, online, the owner can still bid it up while in person you can see who is doing it. Set your max, stick with it.

Sometimes with online auctions, the seller is just trying to see what value he can get from an item.

You see this happening when your bid gets a reply of minimum bid not met. This means either they've put the value at an unreasonable price just to see what it'll bring, or they want retail or better for used goods.

eBay became a waste of time. I'd set my limit, then just watch the bids incrementally, go up... But its only one other bidder. It finds my limit, by their last bid. Then they would disappear. eBay would contact me and say I was the last, now high bid. Do I want the item? Always said no. It was obviously the seller on another throw away account, or working with a partner doing this to find anyone's limit. If its my limit, then it isn't really an auction. I'd rather just buy and sell on Amazon.

I use buy it now on 99% of my ebay purchases , but I got a 1 year old iPad pro recently at about half of the new model and $300 less than several others that sold at roughly same time. You can get some items at a bargain every now and then. Another like item sold 3 times without actually being sold..... price was jack3d way up each time. We had a land auction next door for 4 -10 acre lots. Dispute from 20 odd years ago between brothers, one of whom has passed. 2 cousins ended up outbidding everyone else and they divided the 40 acres between them. 2 lots then resold a couple of months later. Weirdest auction that wasn't a real auction. I don't think money ever changed hands
