Default Re: COPO on auction block in Toronto
I don't know the car,or that last bidder,but I don't think that's a respectable auction practice.
If people are bidding on something with a Reserve not met yet,once the reserve is publically announced it has been removed,THEN and only then should the NEXT bid be seen as the current winning bid so far.
You shouldn't be able to remove a reserve on something during bidding,then announce that the highest bid before that is now THE winning bid,so pay up.
No wonder he ran away..I would too.
