An auction is a process of buying and selling goods or services by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the highest bidder. In economic theory, an auction may refer to any mechanism or set of trading rules for exchange.

There are several variations on the basic auction form, including time limits, minimum or maximum limits on bid prices, and special rules for determining the winning bidder(s) and sale price(s). Participants in an auction may or may not know the identities or actions of other participants. Depending on the auction, bidders may participate in person or remotely through a variety of means, including telephone and the internet. The seller usually pays a commission to the auctioneer or auction company based on a percentage of the final sale price.

Auctioneers: How do they do it? I went to a land auction for the first time and I was fascinated by the?
Q. auctioneer. He sounded just like those old time tobacco auctioneers that used to be on the Lucky Strike commercials. He talked really really fast. What impressed me most is that he auctioneered for over five hours without a break and at the end he sounded exactly like he did when he started. He wasn't hoarse of raspy or any less loud and rapid-fire than when he started. Does he have stainless steel vocal cords or is there a technique (or drug) that enables him to do that? BTW I wasn't sure what category to put this question in; it doesn't really fit any of the normal categories.

A. Here a link to the National Auctioneers Association. They certify auctioneers and schools that train auctioneers. In WV you go to a school and then apprentice for a period of time before getting your license. Good luck!

Can a person have an auction on their own property without having licensed auctioneer?
Q. I don't want to use ebay as there is too much stuff and I don't have the time. I don't know the auctioneer garble & talk and the auction may not be big enough to justify hiring an auctioneer. It would require too much work just to have a garage/yard sale. A person doesn't make much money at such things and not everything sells as it does at an auction. What advice do you have?

A. You should hire a liquidation service to liquidate the property - one who would utilize eBay and possibly an auctioneer. To have live auctions, you must have a licensed auctioneer do the sale of the goods. We have an eBay Drop off store and we see many people are disappointed in the proceeds from an auction or public sale. Those events are typically attended mostly by dealers, who then resell those items for a much larger profit. That means you get cut out of a lot of the profit that way. Selling on eBay gets your merchandise right into the hands of collectors. You could also sell stuff on Craigs list but there are probably many, many items that you would undersell because you don't realize their worth. We see it all the time. … [cont.]
