I happened to look at the auction site (Paul Fosh Auctions) in the last ten minutes of the auction for Hen Allt Common. In fact, it took a bit longer than ten minutes to finish the auction, because every time there was a new bid in the last 30 seconds, the clock re-set to 29 seconds to give someone else a chance to bid - and there was quite a flurry of bidding. In the end, Bidder 9 won the auction for £30,500.
The secretary of the Graziers Association which is responsible for grazing animals on the common is trying to find out who Bidder 9 is so they can protect the Common (he posted on the Hay Community Facebook page, where there's a discussion about the sale).
Meanwhile, the auction for the Lordship of Leye also met its reserve, and was sold for £2,750.
