Query: Waste of time and money

I purchased this book after much thought and deliberation. I followed it exactly as it said to do it. My house was worth around $180k, so I started my bidding at $99.5k. After the open house, I had a list of 8 people who wanted to bid. Can you believe 3 people actually thought they could get the house for around $100k? When they learned the couldn't, they droppde out of the bidding. So down to 5 now. Three more dropped out by the time we got to $120k. Then one more dropped out at $140k. So according to Bill Effros, my house is worth $140k and I should sell it to the highest bidder. That's a bunch of BS! This book just doesn't work.
