When you enter a car into an auction the "normal" rules of buying and selling no longer apply. You MUST read the fine print on ALL the papers you sign. Usually the auctoneer is the final authority and a verbal acknowledgement of a sale is all it takes. The name of the game is to "move iron" so they want to get you on and off of the block as fast as they can, not always getting the highest price, but to move cars. They have so many to do in a day so any one car only gets so many seconds. Unless you have a "celebrity car" or something VERY unusual (I guess your BTTF car didn't qualify) they don't try to "milk" the bidders for the highest price. An alternative strategy would have been to stick to your reserve and found the high bidder after the auction to make your own deal (not exactly koscher as your agreement with the auctoneer still requires you to pay him his fees anyway).
