This is total fiction! Why because they have more money than I do. They had lawyers on staff to protect them.
If had the proof. I would file the lawsuit.
I attended a sporting good store auction Saturday Mar 11th.
It was held in a tent. In the front of the tent was a table with a projection screen. The auctioneer podium. Along side the tent as you entered was tables. At the beginning was several groups of ammunition. Then all different sporting goods. There was no auctioneer labels.
Inside the store was all kinds of sporting goods. All had standard sales labels for the store.
The auction started. Now the projection screen turned green from the computer projector.
Take note of this. On each side of the screen was green overlap on the tent wall(about 10 foot back).
Now the auction started. On the screen was top line, LOT XXX#.
The second and only line was a description of the item.
Example
LOT #123
Brand name caliber bullet weight type and other information you read on the box label.
What I noticed later was no quantity. (I was explain later.)
The auctioneer called out a LOT #. Many times there was a suffix LIKE A-B-C-D or part of.
When he received the last bid. He would ask if the bidder would want the suffixes also.
If not he opened bidding on the suffixes.
I got the bid on several calibers of ammo I could use. I also excepted the suffixes at my bid. They were normally 3 suffixes one was 2.
Now I began to question the integrity of the auction.
LOT # was for fishing poles. They carried up a group of the same poles.
That is when the auctioneer asked if the winning bidder wanted all the suffixes of the lot#.
If NO. The auctioneer took bids on the rest. It was the same with the rest of the fishing gear.
I started to walk around. I walked the tables I seen earlier with the stacks of Ammo. Someone was moving the piles towards the front.
I relaxed.
Then the auctioneer brought up many, many times the exact same ammo in different lots. All with suffixes.
Then I took notice when the bid was not as high. A employee sitting next to the auctioneer called out someone on the internet bid up. Rarely the internet took the same for a higher bid.
Several items was bid up over what I think was retail price. By someone I the tent. It was pushed by internet bidders.
Now the auction was over. When I paid. I received a receipt.
The receipt stated one box of AMMO per suffix. I had to have a store employee gather my items.
He walked into the tent and picked out individual box per suffix.
When I questioned the amount.
He stated the quantity was up on the screen.
Now I know what information was stated on the over lap.
They knew what they did. He had that SH-T EATING GRIN.
Normally when a store had to auction off their stock. It is because they are closing. That store was fully stocked when I left.
I edited out the info that could specifically name this store.
Discuss as you will but leave location/names out of it please.
