Not explain that much.
October 15, 2019

I asked them but they didn't explain to me. My first time bidding. If I know or understand how to bid and how can I win, I don't have to ask them.

Tyler K to the rescue.
October 3, 2019

Give that man a raise! Unless Tyler is a woman. If that's the case, give that woman a raise that's equal or above what her male counterparts currently receive!

They show a high resale price and a low opening price for values on Zillow to get you to go to the auction and it doesn't even open at that price
This site waste a lot of time just to get people to go and then they use that is their marketing tool of how many auctions and people they get to go to their options false and miss leading

Hi, Dave. The estimated resale value is the property’s estimated resale value, if optimal market conditions were met and upgrades were installed. It is only a guideline; you would need to conduct your own due diligence. The terms of the auction, including the opening bid, are set by the seller, in order to encourage bidding to meet the reserve. We do appreciate your feedback and would be happy to discuss this with you further. Please give us a call at 800-793-6107 Mon – Fri 7am to 7pm CST. Or email us with your contact information at [email protected].

Tyler was very courteous and suggested some info from the Help Center may be available. I will probably need to give up on the property/asset that I've saved because I can't wait much longer for it to clear for auction. I've purchased 2 others from auction.com, but they were online auctions and this is a foreclosure in person that just doesn't seem to be going anywhere with all the delays.
