Auctioneers all have a differnt style. Around here there are two main types and if you have never been to one of their sales you don't know what you are going to get. The biggest and best around here along with a few others move on. In the small stuff they will open something out at $10 and if no one bids the ring men start pile'n suff on till they get a bid and normally by that time some one will run it up to $25. The other guys will drag crap on all day to sell $500 worth of stuff out of the shed and then them and the owner get real mad because 75% of the crowd has left by the time they get to the big stuff. They will set there and take 5 min. to sell a $3 claw hammer, then get mad cause the next one just like it only brings $2. The third one doesn't bring a bid so they stand there begging some one to bid insted of just tossing it in the next bucket of tools and going on with life.
At the end of the sale both types will bring about the same amount of money for the same line of stuff. The big guy ain't going to get you as much for the stuff on the trailer but he is going to move on and do alot of advertise'n and draw 3X the crowd. The differnce is the fast one will get it over by lunch and you can be loaded up and get home by dark. The slow guys keep you there till dark then you have to spend a half a day on Sunday haul'n home the pile of scrap or the 3,000 tobacco sticks that were in the back of the barn they forgot about and you bought for $5.
If any one wants to have a sale they don't need to hire the first guy in the yellow pages. They should atleast go to one of their sales before hire'n anyone. If you aren't planning on being there for your sale pick some one to do it and tell your wife and kids.
