[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1322049, member: 12607"] Sold some on The Cattle Range 8-9 yrs ago; went pretty smoothly. Those went to someone fairly local, but I got a couple of calls from folks in MO. Bid on some bulls in a video auction about 3 weeks ago, handled by LiveAuctionsTV - it was a frustratingly bad experience: their format really sucks; had to constantly be 'refreshing' the page anytime someone else placed a bid on anything. About an hour and a half after the 'Race Horse Finish' period began, a bunch of the bulls - including one that we were bidding for - disappeared from the offering. A sale report was posted, showing us as the winning bidder on that bull ... but when we looked 8 hours later, another buyer was listed as the winner - at the same $ figure - but, based on the proxy bid we had in place, that second buyer would have had to pay $500 more. Farm manager/wife was livid - we'd left and gone about our chores thinking we'd bought the bull - he was no long showing up on the site, no way to monitor - or continue bidding on him - and no reason to think that we needed to. Seller says, 'It must have been a computer glitch.' Folks at LiveAuctionTV claim the sale went on for another 2 and a half hours, after half the bulls in the sale 'disappeared' and the 'unofficial' sale report was posted; won't or can't explain why 24 bulls just 'disappeared' from the offerint. I won't be bidding or buying in another sale hosted by LiveAuctionTV. The seller lost a customer, and his breed probably lost an avid supporter(me)... we bought a bull this weekend at a traditional auction... another breed... and I may not be back for another bull of that breed. Guess it could have been worse. Check out what happened to this guy...
