Greg I don't see what you are all bent out of shape at me about. In the very first paragraph I said "My original post was about how I learned long ago that it was up to me to protect my interests in any type of sale transaction including an auction. So if it is worth selling then it is worth going and watching sell."
Then down a little later I wrote this: "Also as the owner you should be there to watch/protect your interest. In the case with my steer I did not do that. So it was partly my own fault for what happened"
So I don't get what you are angry at me about. It was my fault for not going to watch the steer sell. It WAS not my fault that the steer was in effect stole from me. The sale barn owner that did this was convicted years later for doing these type of things. He spent a little time in the Federal pen for it.
As far as you running up the bids and such. I buy and sell a lot of equipment in a year. So the few pieces that you want to play with would not hurt me that much. Plus you very well could wind up owning them.
If you took a hog to be slaughtered and processed and then only got one ham back an you did not stand up for yourself that is YOUR problem. I would have stood my ground and found out the real reason one ham was missing. Maybe I am older and will not stand for much BS coming my way.
As for the tractor deal you are using as an example. I was trying to help the kid get his Grand father's tractor back. Not help him make a big profit on MY work. Also the fool did not get near the real value of the tractor. I had real cash offers for much more than he got.
I guess you would not be mad if your wife sold her wedding ring for the gold price. She could tell you "That is what "Capitalism" is all about...to make money!" That ring would have more worth than the gold weight.
I want to make a profit and a living. I don't lie, cheat or steal to get this done. I also don't make everything be an all money deal. I have held off bidding on things I knew I could make a profit on just so someone starting out or in tough shape could get by.
So Greg you have a good week and we will argue at a later time. I enjoy getting fired up. LOL It makes life less boring.
