[QUOTE="D2Cat, post: 1480899, member: 19322"] I was at an auction one time, and the auctioneer would be asking for a price and when it finally sold the clerk would write down the number he was crying for but never got. It was an indoor auction with a little movement to get to items and I could see over the clerk's shoulder to see what he was doing. (He was also an auctioneer, they were partners in the business) After about 5 sales I called him on it. He was startled, because I was talking to him as the auction was going on, and those nearby could hear the conversation. I learned one better write down the sale price, no matter how small, because they can cheat you a little at a time and you may never realize it, or just accept it as your fault because you may have not remembered correctly!
