Tax Sale Question on Bidding

Lynn Z
Posted

Just attended first tax sale in my state. When the county states a minimum bid is say $4000 why does any bidder bid $45,000, or in another instance, $130,000? There are no other bidders and they can't possibly get more interest than 3/6/12 per cent of that opening county bid. What are they trying to do?
