Go Figure!

[van lincoln]

enough people won't work, as it only takes ONE high bidder to set the
price.  You lowbidders
have no recourse except to either go with the market value, or forget
buying anything you really want that's worth more to someone else.  Get
real!  that's why the auction is the capitalist's dream, as it pits one
high bidder against the others, the only losers are the losers.  The market
value is as high as anyone is willing to bid. those that have, get.  those
who don't, don't get. simple.  (this is the age old principle of real
estate investing.)
