today i was at a public storage auction, i went with myfather and there was this storage unit that was filled with stuff and it had big furniture so no one wanted, so i shout out ill take it for $5. The guy said ok $5, anyone else, and then we started to argue and my father was saying to me, oh dont get it you have no room for anything, and so on, so the suctioneer asked if anyone else wanted it and tey all said no so he closed it up and made the other people sign this paper, he didnt offer me to sign it, so we left after viewing the others, and he basically showed everyone to their car, i went home and about an hour later i went back to see if i could still get it and a woman told me no. So the question is I placed a bid on it and never retracted my bid, or was asked if i wanted to retract it so can i go back there and tell them that i want it because i technically bid on it, never signed any papers saying i declined bidding.note: i am over 21 and i am only making a bg deal of it because three was nice big furniture, TV's and some louis vuitton bags, all together i would asy it was worth over $2000

If you are under 18 (or 21 in some states), there's not much you can do. If you are over the age of consent, you could probably argue the case and you might win, but it would depend a lot on finding witnesses, pressing charges, etc. Sounds like a lot of hassle for $5 worth of junk...but you are right in that it was offered for sale, you made a legitimate bid (providing you are old enough) and you haven't recinded your bid.

The person (the district manager) auctioning the stuff probably didn't hear you or take you seriously. When he collected 3 signatures, what he was doing was having witnesses saying that no one bid on it. So even if you fought this tooth and nail your testimony would never stand up in court bc there were 3 witnesses saying no one bid on it. That gives the DM permission to have a vendor come and haul it away. Don't worry about the auction. They have one every month and they usually are junk. You can't call the office later and say you want it. The auciton is a legal process. It would be like losing a custody battle and then calling the court up later and saying "You know what, he can have the kid" It just doesn't work that casually. You'd have to have another legal hearing.

Yes I believe so !!!
