if the auction agency had custody of the item being auctioned. and if it was a legit auction with a licensed and insured auctioneer.. and a legit bid was made and the bidder was declared winner.. then the bidder drove down ( incuring cost ) and appeared at the correct time.. and the item was not there.
then yeah. pound of flesh.
he held up his end of the bargain.. they defaulted.. and the bidder is financially out fuel, and trip expenses and TIME.
I'm an engineer. my time isn't free. when people waste my time.. it bothers me.
they fgact that there is a lack of personal responsibility when people are doing ( not doing ) thier jobs is a big problem these days.
apathy is the new rule.
if i was the bidder and got stiffed and was not SOMEHOW repayed for my time and expense.. i'd file a complaint with the authority governing auctions in that state.
It needent be 'like for like' reimbursement.. and it needent be 100% equitable. A gesture or offer to make right on some level.. at barte minumum.. some communication to start the process would help.
if nothing else.. a (credit) discount on buyers premium in the amount the bidder is out, towards the next item(s) he bids on would seem to be a win-win.
IE.. say the bidder is out 50$.. then give him a 50$ credit towards future buyers premiums at that auction house.
that's a win-win.
keeps the bidder coming back as a customer.. lets the bidder recoup expenses..
