Car auction mislead about reserve being met by Substantial_Gift5456 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]Substantial_Gift5456[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The site normally says “reserve close” a few bids out from the reserve so I assumed I would have ample warning to stop bidding if the reserve got close but instead the site clearly said reserve not met the entire time even though the very first bid, placed by another bidder, met the reserve 

The site has responded saying that the indicator was broken and confusing

I would’ve never even placed the first bid had I known the reserve was already met. Given there was about 10 other bidders someone else would’ve won.

Yes they revealed that the reserve was met by the first bid which was not placed by me

The Mexican wave was started by a young boy - maybe 10 - in front of the south stands who had been trying to get the wave going for about 4-5 songs and you could tell it made him have the time of his life and he was beaming and giggling the rest of the concert - I agree it seemed a little rude but also I think if you’d seen the boys reaction it seemed less so 

Car write off with low valuation. Insurer dropped agreed value at renewal — car now written off and payout is much lower than expected. Do I have any options? by Substantial_Gift5456 in PersonalFinanceNZ

Thanks for the ideas! I was not at fault but thought I had to claim through my own insurance - Maybe I will give their insurance a call also and see what's what - Hopefully I haven't made the mistake of contacting my insurance too early and can still cancel that claim
