Default Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Fast67VelleN2O</div><div class="ubbcode-body">What about the next time a &quot;Kevin Hand&quot; car goes through an auction at no reserve? It would be hard to bid on one once this has all come to light. Who is gonna bid when they know there will almost certainly be a shill bidder against them? </div></div>

The same people who bid on cars that haven't met reserve.

We are all big boys and girls. If you don't like the risk, don't take it. If the price is too high or you don't think things are above board, don't bid. This is not an auction problem, it's a consignor problem. You can't prevent people from shill bidding, cutting side deals, misrepresenting the condition or authenticity of a car. You either accept it or choose not to participate. Unfortunately some lessons are expensive, take from it what you can.
