I go to several auctions and I have noticed two things that I don't like about what some auctioneers are doing. Number one is an auction I went to a while back, the auctioneer himself would stop the auction to call a person on his cell phone to bid on the item for sale. If the guy can't be there, send someone with a cell phone, don't have the auctioneer do it. Number two is we have a local auctioneer around here that has a consignment sale every once in a while and if he doesn't know you and you consign something with him, he could care less what it brought, but if it is a friend of his or his junk, then it will bring top dollar. I bid on a tractor at one of his auctions and there was only two of us bidding. I kept looking around at the direction he was pointing and there was no one raising there hand or nodding or anything that I could see, so I quit bidding. Well as soon as I quit the other guy mysteriously disappeared and that was not enough for the item. My 2 cents
