Re: DeLorean- Kruse auction

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

When you enter a car into an auction the "normal" rules of buying and
selling no longer apply. You MUST read the fine print on ALL the
papers you sign. Usually the auctoneer is the final authority and a
verbal acknowledgement of a sale is all it takes. The name of the game
is to "move iron" so they want to get you on and off of the block as
fast as they can, not always getting the highest price, but to move
cars. They have so many to do in a day so any one car only gets so
many seconds. Unless you have a "celebrity car" or something VERY
unusual (I guess your BTTF car didn't qualify) they don't try to
"milk" the bidders for the highest price. An alternative strategy
would have been to stick to your reserve and found the high bidder
after the auction to make your own deal (not exactly koscher as your
agreement with the auctoneer still requires you to pay him his fees
anyway).
