They certainly have.  I went to what I thought was going to be a VERY small crowd auction in BFE GA yesterday, in the small town of clermont.  Figured there would be 10-12 people, OVER 100 were there.  Full on baby strollers, grandmas and grandpas, families.  They had posted there was an auction on their sign out front.  Nightmare to say the least.  Turning into a joke.

I guess they will do anything to bring in more people.  Most of these guys I'll bet you don't even bring cash to the auction.

Well my first auciton I attended on a saturday had 100+ people there.  Even 60+ registered bidders.  Took forever to get a look at the locker as people wouldn't line up, etc.  Finally the owner threatened to not open anything else till people formed a line.

I'd say 50% of the people were there due to the big neon sign they had out by the road saying auction at 10am on that saturday.  Most people didn't have a clue how, what, or anything.  Me being the noob and I still answered questions for people that had no clue.

Only 9 people including me actually bid on anything.  Everyone else just took up space.

Really hate that, 60+ people and only a small handful even bid. If you aint going to bid, stand in the back where the bidders can look.
