Thank you so much for joining us.
Can you explain this concept of bidding against yourself and when someone might do that?

So at the end of the day, if we pick it apart, an auction really is just a negotiation, an open-air negotiation that happens between multiple parties or sometimes you might find yourself in a position where you are the only one registered to bid.

Ultimately, there is an expectation, there's a reserve price set by the owner, and sometimes by improving your bid, it's going to enhance your chances of actually winning the day and walking away with the property that you want to buy.
