I did a bit of looking into this and it appears that all the "Good Stuff" gets "assigned" way before the auction house opens its doors.

I used to work in the Police, on various IT systems. They use Bumble Bee to flog off old equipment or items released from crimes, but give it a quick auction time if one of the guys there wants it.

Bumble is ****e !
