I'm bidding on 9 items there Poncho.

Keep it up Q! Grandkid needs new shoes...

Onsite can also be from folks callling in bids. If they call in bids they are made onsite. There’s another scenario

I call bull!!!! on the phone bids, I placed a bid of $240 on lot #165 hours before the start of the auction and the lot went to on-site bidder for $240

Well, that is very curious, to say the least.




Regarding "call-in bidding", doesn't that give those people an unfair advantage by not going through the online auction service with their 18% buyer premium and flat-rate shipping based on the selling price?

I made my first bids weeks before the auction started. Perhaps you were not the first to bid $240.00. Online bidding is hard to get used to, if you have never done it. As for any insinuations that somehow Chuck manipulated the bids, I call bull s**t. Chuck is beyond reproach as I know him. His character, his faith, his business acumen, and his loyalty is top shelf. In any auction, the frenzy can begin and people starting bidding recklessly. If you get outbid, it means you didn't bid high enough or, it was beyond your budget. There were half a dozen or more Conrad Freightliner and International trucks that went for close to $200.00, especially with the 18% buyer's premium. I know this because they were my trucks that I sold to Chuck. That's nuts in and of itself. Ordinarily, they should sell for around $100.00 But that is the nature of the game. I bid on nine auctions and lost all of them. I ain't mad. I bid what I wanted to bid.

I would end by saying, know how the online auction system works first. If you feel something went wrong, call the auction house. Or call Chuck. But I don't think you should come on this Forum and accuse Chuck of anything without proof. CAW


Well Said Q!!!!!!

Plain and simple if an item doesn't bring what you think it should buy it back, if on site bidding takes place at an auction that states no on site bidding in the terms something is fishy if it were a legit bid there would be a bidder ID attached to the bid

You are definitely misinformed. It is a matter of timing. I talked with Chuck and, because of the timing of your bid, versus the other guy's bid, you were outbid. Everyone was informed of rules of the "virtual auction". Talk with Chuck.

digggerr: I know you like to play sleuth and try to convict people but, as usual, you are wrong. Why in the heck would Chuck want to "buy back" his own merchandise and try to sell it again? He would have to pay the 18% buyer's premium on top, just like every other bidder. Then the item would go back into stock, in hopes of selling for a higher price, sometime in the future. Baloney. The goal of any auction is to make money. You look at what you have in the whole group of items and then set a goal of what you hope to make. You may lose on some, but you will hopefully win on the majority. It's that simple. And he doesn't get rich off of these auctions anyway. Do you even do business with Chuck? He doesn't even know who you are. Why don't you give out your identity and quit hiding in the bushes and taking pot shots at everyone. Or better still, as you stated in a recent post, why don't you just ban yourself. Oh, and yes, I got your vulgar, juvenile e-mail last year. Should I show it to the members and see what they think? Or better still, I'll show it to Chuck. Just go away.

I’m interested in what he said. People are ridiculous. Is this dude serious from
Jersey. Must be

If that was the case, wouldn't we be seeing a consistent 'to' ?****? instead of "onsite" now that the auction is over and done?

Just asking about what I see, nothing more.
