Was anybody else offended by the conduct of the bidder assistants?

What I find obnoxious is that they get right in the bidders faces and put a hand on their leg or arm around them. Totally innapropriate contact. I saw the skinny "screamer" guy grab the inner thigh of one bidder in his chair. My wife saw that on TV and looked at me and said: "Did he just do what I think he did?" Yup. If he did that to me I'd make one hell of scene.

How about the older male assistant that kept grabbing the 6 year old son of a major bidder and kept hugging him and holding up for the crowd. Very creepy! It looked like a NAMBLA recruiting photo.

Steve, you want to hear obnoxious? Did you happen to catch one of the auctioneers say to a bidder "someone just donated 1 million dollars to charity and you cannot afford to buy a $210,000 car?" The bidder was in a war with a hot rod convertible. I was floored. Inappropriate at best considering his condescending tone.

That was unbelievable! If that happened to me, they would have escorted me out the door after I was through with them!

Steve,

Did you see this boys mother ( I believe ) try to coax him
back to her? I was somewhat bothered by this. Good observation.

Steve - That scene was unbelieveable! It looked to me like they (BJ et al.) would do anything to milk a stone. I can just imagine what was coming out of the assistants mouth at the time. The kids mom looked disgusted before finally taking her son away from him.
