Older brother works for auctioneer, younger brother and mother used to go to various estate and quitting farm auctions, got some fair deals but some people thought they had inside info from older brother and would outbid them on some stuff that wasn't in best shape, griped later.

Things happen, do some research and laugh a bit. RN
