Title: What's the most number of people you've seen at an auction.
Post by: Zao24 on April 24, 2012, 09:36:29 AM: I just saw 4-500 people at a Friday night auction up here in Canada. I was short on time so I had to leave after the first locker. Pretty crazy.

I can still sometimes hit a auction with less then 10 bidders but it's harder to do. Most of those are out of the way, 1 unit auctions that cancel more times then not.

I could see large cities like Atlanta with 300+ people at an auction easy. I don't think they hit those numbers to often due to the large # of auctions going on at a time in the area.

No offense but all the complaining you've been doing about the shows and the large crowds and high bids, and the most you've seen is 100 people?? That's the minimum here when they advertise. Mind you, I've been to one with only 6 people that didn't advertise so it's not always bad.
