Its all fine to say roll up with the cash and get the seller to pull the auction. What about when the machine or what ever you want to buy is for arguments sake 300 kms away and its impossible to get there for what ever reason before the auction ends. I am self employed live in central Vic and finding time short notice to drive 200 odd kms for arguments sake to look at a machine on the off chance the owner will sell to me prior to the auction ending is just not that simple. The point I am trying to make is I want that machine I will bid $1000 if I get it I can pre plan some time to go get it.
