I go the day before and take my time looking around. Not just for what I am interested in. But for those that work it. I call some of them "back bidders", For it pays to know who is bidding at times against you. These are those that work for the action it self. They will bid you and bid you at times and take what is salen to a very high price!
Was at one just recently at an auction and watched their worker bidding and bidding. Now sometimes a worker will start a bid out and maybe make a bid again. But never seen one do as much bidding on one item and keep bidding.
My friend was there and wanting this band saw. So the guy got of the bench where he sat with others who came to buy. Walked up behind my friend and just kept it up.
Now my friend is not what you would call real smart and kind of old in age. So I try to look out for him at times.
After the bid was getting to high. I turned around to the guy and gave him one of them "don't you dare bid again" lol He looked at me and turned around and moved fast to another area and did not bid no more.
I think my friend bidded about $50.00 to much on it. But he wanted it!
Anyway.. look at the workers and listen to what is being said. Then the next day come back and look a bit early. Case their back bidder is around then and you know who works for the auction.
I never stand on top of things I want to buy. For I can not see who is bidding against me. If you need to relook at the item. Move up close and then walk away so you can see just who is bidding at time you are.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition. ... [Read Article]
