With Spring auctions numbers ramping up and Melbourne's property demand set to intensify, mastering the powerplays between bidders, vendors, and agents is crucial – but how do you adapt to win in this unpredictable arena?

Vendors as ultimate deciders: timing the reserve and using pass-ins strategically for better deals
Bidders' agility: positioning, increment choices, and observing tells to outmanoeuvre rivals
Post-auction tactics: walking away credibly to build leverage in negotiations
A real case study where disciplined strategy turned a pass-in into a winning purchase
