<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4510851, member: 19463&quot;]In the space of five pages his thread has progressed from what seemed like a violation of propriety to a necessary action.&nbsp; If all that was happening here was a live bidder matching the book bid, the auctioneer would have to tell that live bidder that he was not in the lead because the book posted that identical bid first but, since the book did not allow an advance, he would have to ask if there was one more bid.&nbsp; Before hammering, the auctioneer would have to ask if there were any other bids since it is possible that the book bidder or his agent (or a third bidder for that matter) could raise by bidding over that book clearing bid.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The first post sounded very bad.&nbsp; Now, with full details, it seems nothing is unusual and certainly not inappropriate here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
