    It's been more than 10 years since this happened to me in Victoria . I asked to see the offer and the agent refused to do it . I think at the time he said it was a privacy issue ( which I agree with ) .

    If there was a form with all the details then it would have the other person's name on it although you still don't know how real it is because they could withdraw the offer .

    It's a bit like competing against a dummy bidder at a real auction . You just never know .

    I am certain I was bidding against an oak tree at an auction years ago . The auctioneer kept on acknowledging offers from that area even though I couldn't see anyone standing there . Ended up paying the pre asking auction price anyway .

    What a coincidence .
