Hudson & Marshall Auctions... scam?

[Matt M.]

Has anyone ever won a Hudson and Marshal auction (no reserve price) and then been told a different price? It happend to me, and a client of mine. How do they get away with that? Shouldn’t they have to sell it at the highest winning bid if there’s no reserve price? But yes, the deal was to good to pass up so I did pay the extra $.. and there was no buyers premium.
