When I stumbled upon this I thought it was going to be something funny, but ended up watching the whole thing and became oddly interested. A am actually going to practice. Ha ha. Life's short, why not have amateur auctioneering under my belt. Love the passion Brett, keep up the good work.
Thanks Luke... hope this helped you. Me and my buddy just made this video for fun and to act silly but ended up being something informative than we thought it would be. Glad you enjoyed and good luck to you. Brett
Mr. Powers, I really enjoyed your lesson. Though I'm not interested in being an auctioneer caller you sure made the lesson enjoyable, and I learned something!
OMG this guy is great. I do videos professionally. This guy cut right to the chase. He's clear. He's educational. Doesn't waste tine. He's understandable. He's funny. Likeable. He seems like one heck of an auctioneer and fine person. Great vibe! Awesome video. Thanks!
I've watched this video a dozen times in the last couple years. Gotta thank you for it. Motivates me to aggravate the heck out of my wife. I even auction the dog treats, they start barking and she starts yelling. It's a good time!
@LNY Its crazy, I’m Jewish too, people are so sensitive. I personally find that funny, and anyone who has a sense of humor and a realization of history should too.
I saw this video on the side of the "Auctioneer song" and have always been interested in "How to be an Auctioneer". Very enjoyable and well presented. I too watched this video to the end. Thank you.
Great Video! I just got my Auctioneer License today myself!!!! I have been around auctions for near 40+ years as buyer/seller and finally took the leap to become an auctioneer myself! This good clean simple approach to bid calling is where most should start and some should return to! Blub Blub Blub $30 Blub Blub Blub $35 Blub Blub Blub etc...... REALLY!!! Though maybe been in the biz for 40 years that guy sounded like drowning in a lake and going down for the 6th time! LOL Great video and you sound good there, I hope I can be as good with more practice!
Thank you for the straight forward instruction. Was asked to auctioneer fora school fundraiser in April. You have given me lots to consider. The visual aid of the whiteboard is EXTREMELY helpful. Again thank you!
I hear Tony Rice singing Gotta Do my Time! great background.. then Alison Krauss and Union Station.. Little Girl of Mine in Tennessee Flatt and Scruggs.. Great Stuff.. You broke it down real easy.
Well, I think what Javelin434 mean't (because clearly he was saying that he LIKED the vid), was that the sound of old vintage bluegrass music recordings sometimes might (unfairly and inaccurately) reinforce the prejudicial opinions of certain bigots, against folks in the South who are largely good and honest people, undeserving of that poor stereotype as discriminatory and simple. I don't think he mean't that HE felt that way, -at least, I HOPE he doesn't feel that way! BTW, there isn't any racism or prejudice whatsoever in the lyrics of those traditional Classic Bluegrass songs.
Autigers2010. I listen to this all the way to the end of the video and never once thought about making a racist comment and i live in Wisconsin and bluegrass music is enjoyed up here also and so is a good southern drawl. If you what to be racist yourself that is your choice but, do not lable other with that title. I read the first comment and never thought it was racist and after reading your comment i know who is racist, guest who it is you.
It's a lot of practice and A God given talent to become auctioneer that is clear in delivery,sometimes a little fun mixed with sarcasm and most importantly one who can draw the most money from the bidders. These guys are a true pleasure to hear practicing their craft.
Well I read half a dozen articles on auctioneering and this is the only one that made sense. It's the point about practicing repetition of the numbers in series and then repetitious practice of the filler words that clicked. Thanks.
I came looking with intrigue. I'm leaving with absolutely no new knowledge because I laughed through the whole thing! I love your personality! Hilarious!!
I'm impressed. You broke it down easy. I'm wanting to help our little community out with auctions but want to get people into it. This is gonna help me for sure!!! Thank you!!!
This is the best instructions I’ve seen to date. No bs, just tells ya what ya need to know and all ya need ya know. Very well done and great video my man!!
This was super helpful thank you! I'm running a work incentive and it's a mock auction where staff can bid on prizes with points they have won for varies tasks. I'm the auctioneer! I had no clue what to do till I saw this. Thanks again!!!
Thank you very much for the lesson. I learned so much and will help me when I go to auctioneer school later this year. Just these basic steps have already given me a good start on chanting. Thank you so much again!!!
Thank you! I've been asked to be the auctioneer at our community public radio station's fundraiser in early November, and I know this is really ambitious, but...I hope to do a reasonable chant. You've given me a great start, and I promise...I'll practice every single day!
Thank you for posting. It gives me hope. I am getting older and cant do some of the things I used to because of a disability. I have always been intrigued by the art of auctioneering and I think I am going to practice. Thanks again
That was awesome!! I wish I could do that, but there just ain't no way!!! Love the deep southern accent!! I'm an ole country gal that lives on a farm and go to alot of livestock auctions and I love listening to the auctioneer! I do have to say though, you are really amazing at this!!
Excellent tutorial! I'm a former licensed real estate sales associate but auctioneering was always something I thought I'd love to do! You should teach auctioneering!
I'd like to take a moment to thank you for your tutorial! Using your teaching, a lot of practice, and some experience I've had on the mic in the past, I was able to raise $34k for The American Caner Society, Habitats for Humanity, and Make a Wish today. your tutorial was perfect. THANK YOU AGAIN!
Your lesson was extremely professional and worth it while Your composure remained very encouraging. I'll practice for the sole purpose of knowledge; thank u
Great video! Stumbled across it watching "the auctioneer" song. Very entertaining and loved the songs in the backround. Id like to bust out the auctioneer song on guitar next time im around the campfire and this might help! Ottawa canada
Lmao it's an old video and I don't know if you even check comments now, but thanks a lot man. The crazy part is your natural speaking voice. It's only crazy because I don't know what I was expecting, but it obviously should have been this.
Very good yet basic demo. Thank you so much! I've been around auctions just enough to be dangerous but you showed me how to take what I've experienced & put it to simple use for a charity auction item I was "volunteered" for. ha
What a good video man. Im gonna scribble down what you wrote on the board and practice. Im boutta do a auction! I dont need to look no further, you made it simple and plain!💪
