<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 52876, member: 669&quot;]At least this is a legitimate government auction, not one of those phony &quot;seized property&quot; auctions that have no connection with the government.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem with those auctions is that they are advertised in a manner that attracts a lot of people who don&#039;t generally participate in auction buying, and are very susceptible to &quot;auction fever&quot;. They go there looking for bargains, and then get carried away.&nbsp; Some years ago I saw a cheap black &amp; white TV of a type that could be bought for under $100 at any TV store sell for $150 at a U.S. Customs auction.&nbsp; The kicker is that it had been confiscated from a person who had been traveling in Europe, and probably wasn&#039;t even compatible with U.S. broadcast standards.<img src="http://bestsmileys.com/funny/3.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
