first thing to do is ask if the reserve is within the quoted price range. 2nd ask when it is on the market! if its above the price range its been underquoted.

[@sturod2016]

“Start the bidding above the price guide …” 😂 how convenient … or better still, put in an offer well below to cast doubt over the true value of the property.
