yeah. you'd like to be a nice guy but in today's world you almost can't be.

same thing if the auctioneer is using your loader you just bought to load other people. if something got damaged or someone got hurt you could still be liable somehow. they usually announce that they are "not responsible for items once sold". in that case they have no right to use it either.. what happens if they break it?? ooops. sorry for your luck??

it would be hard to enforce if you refused even if the auctioneer made an announcement that it would be available. only thing he could maybe do would be to sue you for breach of a verbal contract but that would be a tough suit and not worth the effort and the bad publicity for them.

you could also go up to the auctioneer and say i'll be happy to bid on that but only if its NOT available for use after you accept my bid.

the liability could be why the auctioneer doesn't have a loader available.

i've been to consignment auctions where the auctioneer has one of his own farm skid loaders there to load stuff. he personally even loaded some things for me. the new auction house that bought his consignment auction does it too. but its run by some very shady aamish auctioneers so we quit going and definitely do NOT take anything to sell. what a shady bunch of shysters. at another one of their auctions for an estate they had a shill bid up a freezer a friend of ours was bidding on. he caught on and stopped bidding. when he went to check out they offered/begged him to buy it. they have also played favorites to their friends and families in the crowd with low bids and even gave an item that my wife had won the bid on to one of their friends and he took off and she had to argue with them to take her bidder number off.
anyway.. another of my aamish rants for today..
