Bidding ending at 10 am, at that time no one but me had bid on # 93, so i was happy now that i was the owner of 4.16 acres of land in arizona, next thing i know the auctioneer put it up for live auction and resold it for $1200.00.

Answer 1

Check all the paperwork you signed and the notices from the auctioneer. Most auctions include that if the reserve is not met, it can be withdrawn.

Answer 2
