Funny story there Leo. We went to see a house in Western Sydney start of 2012. Seemed vendors were just cutting losses and selling too soon.
The tenant didn't want to move so told the RE agent about all the water leaking and the big puddles it makes in the living area :) As well as every other...
In 2012 I went to my first auction, with 3 registered bidders (1 was a fake bidder).
I stopped the auctioneer after he had started and said to him that it wasn't ok for him to try convince/push buyers to pay more :D He told me that he was supposed to be doing that :o
