    Can anyone tell me how to beat in auction?

    Can any experience person here tell me how to beat in auction. I want to buy a pharmacy, but I am always beaten by £1000 or £2000 when I place an offer for buying a pharmacy to various agents. Please help me to beat it!

    Sounds like you are being used to 'pump up' the price.
    Where am I?; In the Pharmacy.
    Who are you?; The new Number 2.
    Who is number 1?; You are number 6.
    What do you want?;..................

    Is this the Scottish sealed bids system? I thought it was generally haggled out using stocktakers as intermediaries.

    All is not fair when bidding against large multiples.
