I went to a recent local auction. Not great stuff for double buyers, but I did pick up a nice A grade Fox for a bargain price. I watched several guns with interest, but no intention of buying. Some "went for" very low prices. I was not quick enough to note the bidder number of each, but eventually picked up the pattern. Apparently there was a number designated for guns not meeting their reserve. I confirmed this when I happened to talk with a gentlemen who was picking up his unsold gun. It was one of those sold at what I'd noted as a bargain price...and to the same bidder number. I think it is indeed a case of enhancing the reputation of the auctioneer.
