Padstar 0 Posted March 20, 2021 Been buying quite a lot online recently at BCA seeing cars going through over and over again but every time appear to be getting bids or are they bca’s fake bids fishing for someone to click? It just seems everything is in their favour now. Just seen a 09 CLK 280 convertible 53k with a tow bar!! cap clean £3600 bids online £6300!! and probably went a little more. I turned off in disgust!

Casper 272 Posted March 20, 2021 It’s been going on years mate the auctioneer bids them up to close to reserve some times over the years I’ve seen them sold them back through the same sale . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lakeside 94 Posted March 20, 2021 If you listen carefully you can actually hear them clicking the mouse bidding it up themselves 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Horgan 564 Posted March 25, 2021 They are legally allowed to bid it to reserve . After that its off to traders , Bids are high at present though and look like being so for some time to come . Like the CLK 280 . low miles CAP don't exist , its the brave hearts or the stupid who win , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trade vet 702 Posted March 25, 2021 I would imagine there is still potential for underhand ‘ bounce out ‘ dealings by auctioneers.If I was bidding and bids went way over Cap when it shouldn’t and was then showing not sold,I would be quickly ringing provisionals to get my name on the sheet.
