In the case where the house shill bids and "wins" the car a)why don't they have to buy it like anyone else who has a winning bid? b)if they don't buy the car after screwing up the seller's auction who pays for the seller transporting the car to and from the auction and all the associated costs?
I would be uber-pissed if I spent my time and money getting my car to an auction and the hammer dropped and the damn car showed back up at my house like a bad exgirlfriend!
It apprears from these related thread I am not the only one shocked at sanctioned shill bidding. I always figured some guys would have their buddies in the crowd to CYA, but I didn't know the house had a gog in the fight.Does Mecum shill their own auctions too?
