Bestest example was when the IRS auctioned off Willie's farm and his neighbors blocked the roads so no shills could bid it up.

So after the November 1990 raids, nearly everything owned by Willie Nelson was on the auction block the final week on January, 1991, with the IRS seeking the highest bidder. The federal government first put Willie's 44-acre Austin-area property on the block on January 26th. He'd purchased the plot from the doctor that had delivered him as a baby. But unfortunately for the IRS, no bidders emerged. Not even one. So on subsequent days, they continued to offer the 44-acre property with 2-story house and horse stables to the public at an incredibly low starting bid. Still nobody showed up to purchase it, and no bids were entered.
