Your Thoughts: Free for all or is there etiquete / unspoken rules amonst us?

Just wondering what your guys thought on if there's any unspoken rules or etiquete amonst us at auctions?

Prior to the crowds me and a few other regulars I'm friendly with would basically have an unspoken rotation adn take turns buying units. Units would go for $20-$35. If a prime unit came up with a closed business in in, cars, etc it was every man for himself but for run of the mill units we kinda took turns.

Another thing is if there's not a whole lot of units on a particular day once you win one or two you should step aside. Aside from being kind of an unspoken thing I think it's self preservation as well.

Like they say hogs get slaughtered, you start hogging units and everyone is gonna run up prices on  you.

After months or years in a given area the courtesies between experienced buyers start to sort themselves out, but there are always variables and people change too.

Consider this story. Really happened.

Buyer A gives buyer B a ride to an auction because buyer B's car was out of commission. Ride to an auction 30 miles away.

Buyer A bids on a lkr. Buyer B bids against him and wins the auction. Buyer B says to buyer A..."You should have brought more money."

Does buyer A say to B " you should have rented a car" and leave him at the auction...lol

He should have...don't know what happened after that, except for the fact that at auctions from then on Buyer B paid for a few lockers as I took him to the top of the roller-coaster hill before he fell off the top with the winning bid. What goes around comes around in one form or the other.
