Let's realize that shill bidding is perfectly legal in
most states and it is no mistake on the auction companies part that the biggest
auctions and auction companies are held and housed in states that allow shill
bidding.
One thing at B-J regarding the possibility of "buying your
own car back" is that it can happen with any car at the very end of the day at
any no-reserve auction because the bidders are tired and go home. It pays
to pay for one of the better time slots. If the bidders aren't vocal in
the good time slots, you have a bad car.
Regarding the auction fees, that slides at B-J depending
on the selling price. As the price goes up, the fee drops some. The
sales tax portion (approx 8% in Scottsdale) is unavoidable at any public auction
in any state. It must be paid there rather than at your home state just as
if you were buying at a new or used car dealership.
