You guys are great. But I still love auctions. At one machinery auction, some hustlers came in from the Left Coast. They befriended the only other party interested in a huge CNC machine. One Left Coaster took him outside for a smoke during the auction and the other hustler convinced the autioneer to go out of order and auction off the CNC machine. The auctioneer obliged. Needless to say it was sold to the hustler from the Left Coast who stayed inside. Then in walks the other one with the party who also wanted the CNC. Boy did it ever hit the fan! What a legal mess. Therefore, it can be from the other side.
