  • No the auction is not a game

    So this happened a few years ago at my inlaws auction.I was the cashier and bookkeeper. This lady about 25 years old comes in,signs in and gets a number.I knew right off this woman wasn't quite right,I just had a feeling.Well no one else could win anything the whole night,this woman was bidding crazy amounts for stuff.Like she bid 20.00 on rugs that were maybe 5.00 at walmart.Just crazy amounts. Well she comes back and I tell her that her total is 300 and some odd dollars.She looks at me weird.She says you mean I have to pay for this stuff. I said yes you do
    So at this point I get my hubby back to the office,I'm thinking this woman is gonna attack me and run out or something. So she keeps repeating oh I didn't know you have to pay.I to this day was thinking okay she trying to make me feel sorry for her. Nope sorry

    So she finally digs out a checkbook and writes a check. I'm thinking oh no I need LOTS of id.So I make her give me her ID card,where she works,the whole nine yards.I keep hearing in my head BOOOINK as the check bounces or she'll stop payment.I want to be able to find her. Well the next day she comes in with her case worker to complain. She tells my mother inlaw that she can't believe that LADY behind the desk made her pay.My mother in law tells her well what did you think the auction was?The dumbass responds that she thought it was a game and the point was to outbid everyone else.

    The caseworker then pulls my mother in law to the side and tries to get her to just let this one slide.She says well she didn't know what she was doing.My mother in law tells them to leave before she calls the cops. I mean really if this woman is that "special" then she really doesn't need to ever be left alone.

    Yeah, if that lady needs that much supervision, then the caseworker should have been there the whole time to head that off at the pass before she racked up $300.

      She shouldn't be out and about on her own.

        "Mentally unstable" but still able to "operate" don't get constant supervision. ESP if they are adults. I've known some people nuttier than a squirell's turd who have had case workers and though "off" operated normalish for the most part and would do occasional things like the above.
        I have sympathy for both parties.

          Doesn't change the fact that signing in to get a number at an auction makes it legally binding that you must pay.

            She must've had problems... or something... if the point was to outbid everyone and not pay, you'd never get past one item for bidding, and the real winner would be the one who outlives everyone else ("I bid 1 followed by 1 quadrillion squared 0's for the eraser!" -- "what he said + 1", oh yeah? plus two).
