REDC Auction in Tampa

It was pouring down yesterday when I left work...Reached the Tampa convention center around 5.30pm and noticed that the garages is not manned anymore. You have to take the receipt as you drive-into the garage and then use that to pay for the ticket(at an automated machine) using your credit card or cash and then as you exit the garage stick that into the automated machine. There was only 1 person to man the entire garage..wierd!

The ballroom was almost filled with all sorts of people..from young to old including several single women!

Prior to bidding I was told there will be a bidding session where first-time bidders(like me) would be educated. It was a farce! and the session did not last more than 1-2 minutes..

Bidding started at 6.30pm.

I was disappointed with the loud speakers and quality of the audio..After I left the venue, I just wanted
quietness and had low tolerance to any sort of noise..

There were several properties to bid on, some in fairly good condition(you ascertain during open houses) and
some in uninhabitable conditions.

I did write down the final bids for several properties so it will help future attendees.
