It's called PHANTOM BIDDING.....


The "house" just tosses in numbers like someone was/is bidding. Real bidders are called "real money"...

What you don't know - and it happens all the time - is that the "pros" have guys that will bid to "bump" a bid along, but they know what the reserve is. And sometimes a seller will buy their own car back in a no reserve auction rather than lose money.

I was looking to net $65-$70k.

Payton,

Got your PM. Thanks, I'll keep them in mind. I am working with a potential buyer in CA right now. We'll see what happens.
