Bought a property today should have read this forum earlier..for sure there was dummy bidding going on ..possibly paid $15K too much anyway can never be proven. Always bid late never early ..its a petty fair trading doesnt send inspectors to auction to keep agents on their toes..as real estate agents can never be trusted..Dont know about all property being over priced in Australia. It comes down to suburb and even within suburbs some streets are better than others..I even check out neighbours..always check recent sales in the building.
