ringing - ( and inflating bids - as described above) used to be common place - but that is not so prevelant nowadays
best advice - read the legal pack - and have a very good look at what you want to buy - at an auction - it's certainly buyer beware

I used to work for an auction house and have witnessed many times the auctioneer taking bids 'off the wall' to drive the price up when a buyer is keen. The auctioneers would quite often brag how they pushed up the price by taking imaginary bids, really easy to do in a crowded auction room and quite legal.
