Lessons from Granddad
In this session Scott shares many of his family’s advanced auction strategies passed down over a 100 years- 4 auctioneer generations- relating to running a live auction, both from the auctioneer and ringman’s point of view- all to make the auction bring more money and reducing the seller’s risk. The session includes topics: Negotiating and securing opening bids from the bidders prior to the auction and creating bids during the auction- both from the floor. How to establish a bidder’s Price Range and then use it to sell the bidder into bidding during the auction.
