Saw the report on this on the news this evening - does this seem to have been totally mishandled? What kind of impact might it have on other upcoming auctions (Allsops and Savilles)?
 
The guys from Allsops said that the individual Irish sellers just don't get the idea of a a fire sale. They all want normal prices whereas the receivers he is dealing with are prepared to radically reduce their prices.

It seems that the auctioneer in Cork didn't really understand this. I hadn't realised that they had raised their reserve prices today. That was a crazy thing to do.

Tend to agree - looking at the details/prices on daft.ie nothing excites; for mass auctions like this one needs excitement ,buzz -something to get bidding moving.

(Mind you, in todays papers it does say 80% of mortgage applications are refused; there is interest, albeit at low prices, but banks are being overly cautious.)
