[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 710435, member: 3162"] Week after week those buyers buy. They've been doing it for years and their body language is known. For some of them it is just a matter of looking off when they drop out of the hunt. I am small potatoes. When I go to the sale, I stay with a spotter in the ring. That's what seems best for my situation. He'll usually be pointing at me to let the autioneer or ring man know he has someone on the hook. He's scanning the crowd. When someone takes me out he eyes come back to me. I roll my hand forward and nod and he'll yell "Yep". My eyes are on him during the bidding process. If it keeps escalating and I want out, I wave him off when he comes back to me and take my eyes off of him. So far, I have never bought something I didn't intend to buy using this method. You have to bear in mind that I seldom buy more than 20 animals at a given auction. Some of those buyers down at Dublin will buy over 1000 head each an sit through 20 hours of auction. Their body language is everything to the auctioneer and he's figured out what they are buying at the time. During supper break they are all talking. The house wants them back next week. [/QUOTE]
