Default Question about a lot in the last Hunt Auction

Posted By: Paul Fusco

Gentlemen

My only response to this blog is simply this. Being an auctioneer myself I know how difficuly it is to conduct a 500+ lot auction with floor bidders, phone bidders, internet bidders, etc all while exercising reserves if there are any. Knowing Dave and his group, it was most likely an oversight or simply an honest mistake, which all auctioneers make. Believe it or not, we are human. At least the last time I looked we were. In our our auctions there are no hidden reserves, we simply start the bid at the reserve if there is one, that way there is complete transparency as far as what lots truly sell and what lots don't sell. But I do think that Dave and his company truly do a fantastic job 99.99% of the time. I'll bet if he tried to walk on water, he would drown. Only one guy can do that, that I know of.
