One of our county auctions we were selling two Dodge Caravans, both right around 100,000 miles. One of the locals was there expecting he could buy a van for around $1,500, I figured the Blue Book trade was around $2,200 I set the reserve at trade + 10% (auctioneer's commission)so reserve was $2,420. What the guy didn't know is there was a pilot car operator in the crowd looking for more Caravans for his fleet. Both vans went for $3,000 and some change, the pilot car guy bought one and one of my custodians the other. Mr local drunk got pretty excited and verbally attacked me claiming I was abusing the tax payers and I should be in jail and he was calling the chairman of the county board and complaining about me (yes he did and yes the chairman talked to me about it). Oh my custodian owned the van he bought for about 3 months and sold it, at a profit, the folks that bought it are still driving it 4 years later. I suppose I had it worse running the county sales as some taxpayers felt the were owed a bargain "cause I pay taxes" I suspect some of them were welfare cases that really didn't pay much taxes.
