Now consider this...sometimes at auctions, especially estate auctions, the goal of the seller is to dispose of "stuff". Sometimes the survivors have gone through and gotten everything they want and they just want the rest of the stuff gone. This type of sale can be a real mess with parts that belong with one item scattered in with several lots. It looks like you want everyone to be an auction nanny and to inform the seller they should reorganize their sale. If they really cared they would have set it up correctly or hired someone knowledgeable to do so.
Back to the sale where the loader brackets weren't with the loader. If you go back and read about it again you'll see that the seller knew the loader brackets were in the building and not with the loader as they should have been. It seems like you think TF should have demanded the seller put the brackets with the loader.
Here's something else to think about.....auctioneers will often put a part of one item in with a lot that would otherwise have little value. That's a way to squeak out a few more dollars from the buyers. Think of the possibilities if the sale order had been different. They could have sold the loader without the brackets then when the got to the building they could have announced the loader brackets were in there but you'd have to bid on the contents to get them. The guy that bought the loader would then have to bid against someone that needed something totally different....or maybe they both needed the brackets. Stuff like this does happen.
I know an auctioneer that starts off every sale by offering "choice" of any item in the sale. One bidder could be bidding on a Jeep, a second bidder going for a boat and another shooting for a tractor. These are just some of the tricks auctioneers and sellers use to make more money.
I once saw a guy buy 10 or 12 lots of mostly junk to get all the parts for an 18HP B&S engine.
TF didn't do anything immoral. It's not like he stashed the brackets in the building.
