I watched some BaT scrubbing on the recent 1976 930 sale. The seller (whom I casually know) was active the last several minutes of the auction. So ~ I was watching (and still contributing) with interest. Anyhow while the bids started to roll in at the end the seller (BeardBros) would try to interject to let people know that the bids were close to the reserve. He would post "not too much further" and it would pop up as written - for about five seconds... Then poof the whole post was gone... About another bid or two later the seller would attempt to post again "not too much further!" and then in about one second poof it too was gone. Right before my eyes.
I dunno if they powers at be were helping or what, but they were scrubbing for sure. And obviously without the sellers consent.
Did it help the sale? Who knows. It sold right on target from what I saw of the car in person. I guess its their playground and they can do what they like.
