A blog on auctions and auctioneering with a light touch. Reports from the fascinating world of auctions with the emphasis on the odd and unusual.
WELCOME.
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.
