$200K Auction Scam Exposed: What Every Buyers Agent and Property Buyer Needs to Know

If you’re house hunting right now especially in Melbourne or Sydney, this is the episode you cannot afford to miss.

We’re pulling back the curtain on a widespread tactic in property auctions that’s burning buyers for up to $200K. It’s aggressive, borderline legal, and worst of all, it’s everywhere.

It’s called underquoting, and it’s a dirty game some agents are playing to lure in hopeful buyers with a low guide, only to have the property sell for hundreds of thousands more than expected on auction day. The result? Emotional buyers overextend, waste time, and in too many cases, lose big.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer, up-sizer, or seasoned investor, understanding how this scam works is critical to protecting your money and making smarter decisions.
