[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1253108, member: 498"] It is very rare here for someone to announce a no sale. It is also rare to have a reserve announced. It is not uncommon for people to bid on their own cattle. It is pretty rare for them to announce the consigners name so nobody but the consigner knows who owns the cattle. Your cattle are selling too cheap, you bid. Maybe you bid once and have the winning bid. You basically just did a no sale. Or maybe after several bids you decide they are bringing enough, stop bidding and the other guy gets them. I know the auctioneer does not like announced no sales. They prefer it to just sound like you bought the cows. I also know that some people on here think this is an unethical practice. But it is done here most every week. It is one of those things I account to regional difference. [/QUOTE]
