  1. You have absolutely no chance of getting a refund.  These types of auction are one big scam designed to part as many people as possible from as much money as possible!  They are crooks and keep moving from place to place to extract money. Never ever buy goods unless you can see them.  Never accept lots tied up in bags which the sellers refuse to let you open.  

    Report the crime to the police and trading standards and learn from the experience.  You will not see your money again.


  2. Yes lots, and yes it is.

    Ah ... No NOT one of those 'auctions' ! you have been fleeced girl, they will be long gone, learn from your mistake !!!

  3. Yes a property auction. Especially if you wish to bid on something. I have always wanted to go to a car auction though. Also would love to visit antique auction. Its only fun I think if you are bidding or selling something.

  4. yes,and yes,we found chickens,jackets bridles,(tack) and lots of nice stuff!My Father and I go to them.

  5. Are you sure you went to an auction and not a wholesale clearance?......people buying the same item sounds like just that. Usually in that case ....look for signs that say all sales final. No refund or exchange.

  6. Yes, I have.  It is absolutely worth it.  I recommend going to auctions.  You will be amazed at the bargains you can pick up.

  7. Yes, I bought my latest car from an auction - it was a bargain ex-fleet car with FSH.
