I am looking for local intelligence on this event.
Was it a scam?
Were there good deals to be had?
If you attended and did not buy, did you get the $1000.00 back if you chose to have it back?

The below article was clipped from Sosua News.

Friday afternoon, 31 August, in cooperation with the company 'Property Center', about 50 homes, apartments, houses and land will be auctioned. The auction will take place at 17.00 clock in the beautiful Victorian-style built Palace Hotel Puntilla de Piergiorgo. The auction will offer participants a unique opportunity to bid for houses and apartments and acquire them for reasonable prices. To participate at the auction, you are required to deposit 1000 U.S. Dollar for the reservation, which are then deducted from the purchase price when buying property. Reservation deposits that are not used when making a purchase go to a charity to benefit earthquake victims in Haiti if not reclaimed within five days

There is an error in the Sosua News article - the auction is on Tuesday 31st at 17:00 hrs.
Last Viewing is today and you only have to put your thousand down if you are a successful bidder. This auction has been in the mill since May so I dont think it is a scam

The $1000.00 part implies scam with the out being 5 days to claim.

Why are they being auctioned? Foreclosures? Couldn't sell them any other way? And do the winners get a pair of special socks with built in money hiders?

But Oz never did give nothing to The Tinman, that he didn't, didn't already have....and cause never was the reason for the evening or the tropic of Sir Galahad.
