    What do ye think of recent video from Tipp Town Mart. The Auctioneer calls out a buyer from ringside . Fair play to him if he saw foulplay. Is it a case of the buyer only acting as a pacemaker instead of trying to win the race??

    Hard to know what happened.

    I am assuming the animal was sold and the buyer backed out (maybe it was too dear). Then the same buyer tried again to bid. Not sure that’s a situation that arises too often but that’s what I guessed.

    He takes no prisoners there anyway in general.

    Seen an old auctioneer tear shreds of a young lad acting the bollox at the calf ring before. Usual dealer stuff, bullying buyers trying to open up low. He lashed him for about a minute. No harm.

    You don't see it enough I don't know why they don't lift bids every time they put there hands in the ring trying to claim cattle

    Go into Tipp Town Mart Nov 1st on YouTube. Scroll on to 2hr28mins . 7 freisins in the ring.

    Nice to see some passion in the ring. I'd say he'd have a go at Paul Mescal in Gladiator 2!!!

    sold and thrown up cos there was 1 or 2 a bit strong and first buyer went to bid again at 10 or 20 less then first price if they were no good the first time there no good the second time probably taught he’d get money off auctionner in Tipp calls it as it is proper order all problems declared warts and all VERY fast auctioneer

    I rewind back and they sold for 860 first time in the ring.

    The rogue buyer then tried to bid on them to them the second time when they were at 840, to take them to 850.


    what the hell was he at.

    Was he puffing them for a friend and just got stuck with them, both times?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 10,642 ✭✭✭✭893bet

    Is the auctioneer the manager there too?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭leoch


    I don't understand were they put into the ring for a second try or wat....and if he didn't buy them the first time wats the harm in bidding on them the second time..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,044 ✭✭✭✭patsy_mccabe


    Looks like he bought them the first time and 'threw them up' because one of them was 'strong' (not castrated right). The second time in, he bought them again - at a lower price.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 792 ✭✭✭Silverdream


    idk, it sounds like the original buyer threw them up, then tried to bid on them again when they were auctioned again an hour later. They were sold for 840, the original buyer had tried to bid, but the auctioneer wouldn't take his bids and laid into him for trying to bid when he had thrown them up. I think he was put out of the mart too by the sounds of it.

    Ya, the auctioneer does say 'No thank you' during the bidding.

    THis reminds of a story years ago .a neighbour had calves in the local mart and the sale was thrown up as one of the calves had a lump on its leg.long story short the bunch of calves were sold for half the price.i happen to be in with them a week later and they told me what happened them and a week later i loaded up my own calves and went in and low and behold got a call to say one of the calves had a lump on its leg and it turns out it was the same buyer.i went away in and met your man but pretended nothing until eventually he made his half price offer.i opened up on him and he ran out of the place.the thing is that both set s of calves were being sold in women's name they were both widows so that was his modus operundy preying on widows as they mightnt have the confidence to stand up to him. i later heard he was caught with a syringe full of water in a limerick mart.
