When I first met him, I had the house rented through Beggin and Scott.
I told him my reserve price on the property and asked best way to achieve it.
He did put me under the impression that the property should achieve about AUD$200,000.00 more than my reserve.
By the day of the auction, the property costed me about AUD$15,000.00 to have it ready for the auction.
At the auction day, there were not many people, during negotiation after the first round of auction where the property achieved AUD$100,000.00 less than reserve, one person who was betting stormed inside the house wanting to know what is the reserve price, Ken and the auctioneer kicked him out, they started after auction negotiation with someone whom they know personally who was betting for someone else whom happen to be in Queensland at the time, it seemed to me that they have dealt with the same person few times before, I was put on the spot let the property go for AUD$50,000.00 below reserve, I did not want to go through the hassle of time wasting and spending another AUD$15,000.00 and play with the unknown, I did let the property go.
The person who was betting for someone else knew that the reserve price is 1.2 million but on the auction day doing the negotiation after auction, Ken and his colleague the auctioneer put me under the impression that take 1.15 million or this guy is gonna to walk out and I am on my own.
I still have 5 strata titled units in Brunswick to be sold in 2016 which I promised Ken to have the 1st option as a selling agent, after what happened in Richmond, I will not touch this guy with a stick as I believe AUD$50,000.00 is a lot of money to sacrifice with all the bad feeling which comes with it as I feel there was a combination conducted against me at the time. For nearly 6 months now I have been getting request to rate Ken Griffith, I have refrained in the past 6 months but now decided to put it black and white simply because I don't want the same thing happen to someone else.
