These stories circulated during the Great Depression. Some of them might even be true.
That’s bid rigging.
No matter how many times I see this story it never mentions David’s surname or a more accurate location than “Nebraska”
This is a nice story, but the full names and locations are nowhere to be found—even with other sites.
In other words, this is likely made-up.
No it’s not....And it happens all the time to keep it in the family.
It’s no surprise that you would post a story that isn’t true.
On who's part? You can't force someone to bid, and the family didn't ask the farmers for anything.
undated article ...
based on a youtube video posted two years ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk_xpfNOKoE
not a single youtube comment was from someone who was at this supposed auction ... i suspect the whole thing is a fake ...
I have seen this story before...................somewhere........................
The story is phony from the beginning. His father sold the 80 acre farm. What did he do with the money??
I did further research on artice. I found this:

Every bit of this tall tale could be confirmed via Public Records. Where are they? I suspect you just took an offer from your paymasters to get a little extra shift work in before the weekend. Do Ukes celebrate St. Patties day? Do your paymasters? With you, it’s all propaganda all the time, so there is no reason to believe this ever happened.
“That’s bid rigging.”

Prove it!
It’s still a fake story. You don’t know how to tell if something is a lie, do you. No wonder you post so much propaganda.
Examples from this story:
“So it turned out that all the farmers present had made a deal beforehand. They decided not to stand in the way of this family and to let them win their farm again.”
“David and his father didn’t ask them to do it. It was just that all of them were willing to help their fellow farmers.”
“The auctioneer tried to praise the land and gave them some time to think about it, but no one accepted that challenge.”
“At the end, the auctioneer had to sell the farm to David’s family, so the land returned back to the place where it belonged.”
“After the auction, David said that he will never forget that day! It was amazing!”
And if you've never been to an auction, here's how they work: if an item doesn't receive reasonable bids, the auctioneer can remove the item from the offerings, it doesn't necessarily have to sell. If there is only one bidder, for example, the bidder can't just take it for whatever ridiculously low bid he makes.

Just stop
If you don’t like the story don’t bother with it
“That’s bid rigging.”
I wish you had been there to explain to the farmer’s all about bid rigging. :)
