<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 406372, member: 88&quot;]The bidding can get quite &quot;spirited&quot; at times, but there is not much choice when the will specifically states that this is the way it has to be.</p><p><br /></p><p>The real problem comes when the family or person is there &amp; the stuff does not bring what they think it should. We actually had a woman stand up in the middle of a sale &amp; blurt out that she could not believe we were selling her Mother&#039;s dolls for so little. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The thing is the auctioneer kept telling this woman that her doll collection was not really anything special &amp; gave her examples of what the dolls would likely bring. She was having none of it &amp; insisted that he have a special Saturday sale to get all the doll collectors together. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>When she said what she did, Bill very calmly thanked everyone for coming, then said he was sorry but the auction was over. He then took off his microphone &amp; walked off his podium.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Needless to say all of the auction workers were stunned as were most of the audience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
