[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 4307714, member: 5066"]"STALL" in this case means the auctioneer is giving everyone a pause to consider their particular situation, resources, etc. It's in his/her best interest as well as the consignor to pause/stall so it often happens when an object is highly contested. Additionally, it clears out the riff-raff so only the real players are left, usually only 2 peeps. HATES IT! but it is what it is which is always very frustrating to the underbidder.[/QUOTE]
