The auction hunters were trying to sell the ducks to a collector, the collector sayed that he would re sell them at $15000.
The opening bids were both effective Ton bid 11000, but the collector bid only 3000 ton and Allen’s reaction was very good by being shocked they showed that that was much to low.
I read that Micah knew that the ducks were worth more than $15000, especially if they floated, so he wanted to get the ducks before Allen tested if the ducks floated so that he could get a better deal. Also he accidentally gave away how much he wanted the ducks by not taking his hand off of them. Finally Allen put Micah under huge pressure by nearly floating the ducks on the water to force him to come up to their price.
Ton and Allen used we a lot and made a few jokes to ease up the mood, whets Micah came in really low to get the better price.
I felt that Micah got the better deal if the ducks float because that will rise the price a lot, but if they don’t then he got the worse deal
