My days of submitting Absentee Bids are over. Three times I submitted absentee bids with one auction company and all three times I "won" at my maximum bid. Once is a coincidence ... twice is questionable ... three times,there is something amiss.

It doesn't sound fair for sure, however if you place a "max" bid, I am assuming you felt the item had that value, and you win at your "max" bid then why would you be unhappy? Just asking....

last time I won at my maximum, it was another member of this forum bidding against me, just one bid below mine.

I win at less than my max regularly, but I lose even more times.

Rebel- neat Ballard, enjoyed seeing it.

re. auctions and a full 2 cents worth

I have seen auction catalogs stating the house reserves the right to “implement the bid” ……..

Consider an auction house having the need to protect a good piece to a reserve amount and seamlessly getting it done through house bidders.  Three people bidding with one actual buyer and walking that buyer to the needed minimum.   

I think the secret is to bid what you are willing to pay for an item and if you prevail, consider it a purchase that you are pleased with. Saves the aggravation.
