No. My wife had no idea it was above reserve until it was put to the floor at $755,000.

I fail to see how you were riped off, you were willing to put that price on the table, they were willing to accept it and thus we have a house sale.
More questions or knowledge of the auction process should of been known, your the one with the money.
If im the one and only bidder at a auction or it doesn't go to reserve, i just back out, then you hit them up after wards, don't fight them on there battle field of preferences.

Yea but that's what im saying its your money, you should of put 720 to the table if that's what you wanted, but instead you let the agent talk to you and let him seal a sale. They realized you were there to buy a house and they sold it to you, if you had that house and put it to auction would you not be wanting the agent to sell it at the auction for a good price??
All im saying is you went to a Auction and got dragged in, when there were a viable of option to you at the time, like knowing what you want to pay for it. Yes the valuation or reserve might of been 20k lower, but remember it didn't sell for that price and its only a number, which has nothing to do with what the sale price is.Last edited by Glizzle; 25-09-2012, 01:50 PM.

Thanks for that, But you went to a auction and got pulled into a negotiation on price, these no other way to look at it mate, you were never bidding against anyone. You should of had a price in your head that your been happy paying and then walk if it goes higher. Foot down on talking to a agent and made sure all offers were clear to everyone there.
If you were a agent and you had one offer on a house whats the point of letting them bid till reserve your better off stepping in and sorting a deal out.Last edited by Glizzle; 25-09-2012, 02:08 PM.

We are on page 3 already so it would appear it may not be a slam dunk either way.
Ghouly, who appears to have some industry knowledge certainly seems to think it worth following up on.

but being the only bid, my point is would they accepted this and would it of gone to the market or just been pulled knowing the auction failed ???Last edited by Glizzle; 25-09-2012, 02:27 PM.
