I have only used auctions once and it was to purchase land lots through a tax lien sale in Sarasota Florida. I was involved with a group of investors and I was not directly involved in the bidding process. However, we ended up winning 7 of the 30 lots that we bid on. It was worth it but it was a huge hassle to get the financing because the auction lasted over a few weeks so we won our first 4 lots early in the first week of the auction and then we won the final 3 in the last day of the auction. We wanted one loan for all 7 lots but the timing hurt us a little.

 Any experiences with auctions such as the above? Planning on it? Pros and Cons?
