*House auctions getting more popular.
Last year there were nearly 27,000 lots sold at 1,300 auctions in the UK, compared to 24,000 in 2005. Sales in 2006 were £6.1bn, well up on the £4.9bn in 2005.
WELCOME to the AUCTIONEER. Auctioneering is one of the passions of my life. I hope to post bits and pieces of interesting news on auctions and auctioneering which I come across while trawling the web, as well as my own experiences.
Please contact me if you would like a lecture or an after-dinner speech. My favourite lecture is: ‘A history of auctions from Ancient Babylon to Internet Auctions’.
I am also a freelance auctioneer and ALWAYS interested in work. I have conducted over 2,000 auctions. While my speciality is in Collector's Items and Antiques, I have conducted auctions of property, cars, cattle, lettings, gold, tack, computers as well as charity auctions. Have appeared on several TV programs.
