You completely missed the satire. Well... the ones who replied missed it.
That's my point. You go to auctions to get stuff for cheap, around a bunch of other people there to do the same, and you expect proper etiquette? People sometimes act like animals akin to Black Friday in Walmart at 5am. Get it?
Seriously though, I do rarely go to auctions. It's more a matter of buying something you can't test drive, can't get a warranty, and have to stand out in the weather for an entire day, just to get the privilege to bid. No thanks. I'll haggle down a private seller or a dealer respectfully and try to assure myself that I get some kind of guarantee for the money I spend, if no haggling or a firm price is involved. You can't call up an auctioneer and expect any warranty after you get it home. Correct?
I was at a Ritchie auction a few months ago. A guy in line was bragging that someone stole the gas cap off his new purchase, so he simply "paid it forward" and stole a cap off another item to put on his. Don't you love buying "choice?"
Rogers, Ohio Community Auction used to be famous for having "free truck tailgate removal with every parking spot."
If I offended you and you have nothing to hide with your auction etiquette, then you probably aren't "that guy" that the OP was talking about!
Or you just go ahead and argue with me... You are off to a good start.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
