I think "rigged" perhaps is an over and at times an over used
term employed when one thinks they did not get the same opportunity.
When we were shopping for lots in 2003/2004.....that would be nothing in existence below 466 (not 466 A).
When we saw where we thought we wanted to be, we were told the lots had not been released yet. Our salesman offered to put us on the list and call us when they were released. I asked if we could see the plot plan for the village of our choice. He accommodated us. We picked a lot. He said he could not assure we would get it as the system was first come first served when released. A week or so later he called and said the lot we had chosen was available, and needed a deposit before the end of the day. Which we did.
I think the above is typical of transactions and are a function of the character of the sales person. A very aggressive sales person will do what ever is ALLOWED to make a sale.
I do not consider actions like ours to have been "rigged".
