[QUOTE="Dana Kopp, post: 127759, member: 873"] Our yards here are pretty good about that - if the auctioneer isn't sure if you bid or not he will stop and ask, he pays attention to what people are doing, were they waving at a friend or a fly.... But they also start out the sale with the reminder that when you bid it is binding, yada yada yada - at a horse sale a couple weeks ago a gal was bidding on a horse and then re-negged when she had the high bid (claimed she hadn't bid) and he chewed her butt! But there is a cattle buyer who will stand behind someone bidding and bid them up and drop the bid at the last second. He's just a jerk to everyone and I am surprised that one of the older ranchers hasn't thumped him good but sadly enough we need buyers so badly I guess we have to put up with him. Bottom line, at an auction, pay attention to how things are selling, the auctioneers lingo, I went to a lot of auctions before I ever dared bid and I still make absolutely sure that I know what I am paying and my limits before even raising my hand. It is really easy to get caught up and then regret it! There is no "UNDO" or "BACK" button at an auction! [/QUOTE]
