so last week my father and i were at an auction and he was highly interested in a sweet 92 freightliner tandem. we watched several other tandems sell but waited for the freightliner to come up.

THe auctioneer started trying to pull bids at 30 thousand, no success
THen 25 thousand, no success
Then 20 thousand again with no success.

Dad and everyone else i believe was waiting for him to drop and pull bids at 15 thousand and work his way up but that never happend.
as he was trying to pull bids at 20 with no success, he said "ill do it" and then started pulling bids at 21,000. wouldnt you think he'd go down to 15 or whatever he would have to go to to get the first crowd bid. my dad bid at 21,000 but didnt end up buying it . i think it went for around 24,000

just was kind of surious as to why this happend
