June 3, 20195 yr Popular Post comment_576864 What I don't get is the little circus that about 3 or 4 people have on their between themselves? It reads like they're bidding as they want to to be the first to pay 100K. I think we should let them. A fool and his money are easily parted.

It reads like they're bidding as they want to to be the first to pay 100K. The comments section on Bring-a-Trailer auctions can be a bizarre watch. Having live bidders commenting on the very thing they are [potentially] buying opens up the way for all sorts of trouble. Vintage automobile values require slow cooking. Blitzing the dish in a microwave is a mistake.
