If you tried that today, someone online would come in and buy up that property. We have no defense against monetary predators like we used to.
Pretty much this. Penny auctions worked because you had to physically be in the room, which means it’s far easier for your friends and neighbors with guns and other implements of violence to tell the bank rep “hey maybe you should sit this one out bud” when they show up.
You know, because of the implication.
“Are these bidders in any danger?”
“Yes”
I’d think banks probably just have a reserve price these days (a minimum price they’ll accept on the property).
Lol. Lmao, even.
Unfortunately, banks plan for this tactic anymore.
That’s a very weird way to try to use “anymore”.
the fact that you don’t have a positive version of anymore except for approximations like nowadays is the problem. other languages have a word for “from a certain point on” that can be used in both positive and negative sense.
you have no longer which also functions like anymore but I can’t think of an opposite for that either.
from now on is the only thing I can think of that can be used in both senses but that’s only useful for specific times (you could say from then on too, but the then has to be specified).
there’s clearly a need for it so people use anymore in a positive sense. why not.
“Since then,” “thenceforth”
