CoronitaParticipantYou know. This probably sounds insensitive. But I have some advice for folks who felt they were discriminated against, whether they are asian, black, white, hispanic, gay, etc…. Take a number… In life, you're not dealt an equal hand. Deal with it. Vote based on what you think will benefit you, and be done with it. Discrimination isn't something that's going away, it happens at all sorts of levels, intentional or not. There's really no point in crying the "victim" game, because if everyone stop and thinks about it, they probably are a victim of something unfortunate.
Me…I'm still looking to qualify under an affirmative action plan into the NBA. But when that happens, I think our basketball teams won't be able to compete at the international level…Oh wait…let me think about that 🙂

CoronitaParticipantFolks. I have an interesting update. Again, I'm hearing this second hand because I didn't attend the entire auction. But folks that I talked to that stayed to the end found out the following thing peculiar.
It appears that at the end, some of the auctions ended up being sold to the second highest bidder. It appears that when some of the auctions ended, the highest bidder's failed ID checks, and so there they ended up in the second highest bidder.
Second, in the auctions, it appears the prices quicly shot up to in the first few seconds of opening bid. So…
A few of us were just speculating. What if all the bidders weren't real buyers, but in fact people that either worked for the auction house and/or the Heights? I mean, the concept would be no different from say an ebay seller that also doubles up as a buyer and bids up the price of his/her own auction.
Anyway, I don't have proof, and perhaps this is more conspiracy theory-ish. But it just seemed unusual that the auction prices shot up so quickly, and then a some of the auctions failed to close to the highest bidder because out of all things, the ID of the bidder didn't match what was one file.
I was also told a fire marshal came in and say there isn't enough room for everyone and that non-serious bidders should leave, but I missed that.

CoronitaParticipantI think until people are feeling the pinch more, this sort of unrealistic seller is going to persist. I think several people are still in or think they are in the *wanting* to sell category, as opposed to *needing* to sell. It's going to take more economic pain before people realize they *need* to sell versus *wanting* to sell. Not that I'm looking forward to economic pain, because me thinks everyone is going to be in pain, some more than others.
Don't know if you read about my comment regarding the Heights Auction in Carmel Valley that happened…But it seems like some people still haven't "gotten it" yet….400-500 people to be specific
And yes, fishtank person is still listing at $510k…..Oh when will the insanity stop….
