No no no… I agree entirely with what you said about the research. My only point I was trying to make was your last line in your other post, that you thought many contractors were making the purchases. I had read into your last sentence that you felt people were talking to the office via bluetooth was an implication that these were working for contractors. Yes all of the due diligence you mentioned is absolutely needed. My point was that it is all needed but due to the quantities involved nowadays, that diligence is now performed more or less the day of the auction and sometimes even while the auction is going!
