<p>[QUOTE=&quot;savitale, post: 8276283, member: 95284&quot;]I have never heard of a case where the winning bidder did not pay so the auction house later declared the underbidder the winner without approval. As you suggest there are a million reasons why that would be bad. I have seen cases where whoever is running the online software accidentally records a room bid but then retracts it back because it was an error or misunderstanding. Can also happen when a room bid equals or is very close the book bid, and it is at the auctioneer&#039;s discretion what to do. I suspect a &quot;glitch&quot; like that is much more likely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
