Has anyone experienced shady auctioneers?  What's your story?

Do you guys think it's OK for friends / family members that ride with the auctioneer to the auction bid on units?  Any thoughts?

Most auctioneers are shady to some point ...in the ny market anyway.

There is one guy that brings his "cousin" and wouldn't you know it .. he always win the best bin of the day. 

For all of us there is a real slow count but when he has the bid its 1.2.3. sold.

Everyone has complained but the mom and pops don't care as long as he draws a crowd, sells the room and get it emptied in 24 hours.

There's the problem right there, you all keep going. Get everyone together to boycott the auction and I'll bet things change real fast.
