Auction.com asked me a legal question about the contract. (They seem to want to anonymously hide behind the legal word ": work" of documents.) What I responded with was "when was my property conveyed to HUD". What I found out - The property was conveyed to HUD by the seller in the middle of the Auction! So Auction.com was selling a property that the seller they represented DIDN'T OWN. And, even though I won the Auction, I did NOT get the Property. BUT... and I repeat... I did my homework and legwork, and investigation and found the HUD real estate agent - and got this property purchased for $2,000.00 over the Auction price I "won". I spent too much extra time with no consideration from Auction.com or their title company, Linear Title. I Finally got my earnest money back, three weeks from when it was wired to them at a cost to me. They just mailed the check back,... no hurry. Again, stay away from Auction.com.
