Noticed an old man flagging something down while on the way over to an auction held next to a polling booth. After asking what was going on, somehow ended up with one end of a tallboy while the old man had the other, more weightier end. Hoisted it up and onto the roof rack, which had screws poking out all over the place, and with a dusting of the hands, left as soon as it was all over and nothing more needed to be done. Moving no doubt. Or he and the missus might have been pulling a daring daylight looting of a two storey house.
Either way, the next house was a shell of a house that was described as partly renovated. Wandered through the rooms and climbed the staircase without a railing. One of the agents wanted a name, no luck there. The bidding started at 1500 after earlier in the week being noted at 1400. 300 was the start. It went up by the incremental jumps of ten thousand and then after one man asked for 415 that was taken in as 450, back down to 5 thousand jumps. Every time the auctioneer did not like the price he would threaten to close the bidding and sure enough, someone would jump in with an extra five. It looked like the bids were dead in the water when the price of 445 came. Being the manipulative agent that he was the man asked for the reserve price - something everyone knew he knew. Dead. No sale. Everyone went away unhappy at the shenanigans played by agents from LJHooker. Shysters.
