Then with an hour and a half to go the amount of $15,100 reappeared with 16 bids! What the.....? The reserve was back on. The auction closed at $15,525, 17 bids, and the reserve not met. What am I missing here?
A really good auctioneer can get you to bid aganist yourself he will work the floor as if you have a bidder going up aganist you but in fact you are the high bid and dont have to do anything.
