So I've seen a few things recently that make wonder when it's time to retire from auctioneering.
Things such as...
Forgetting who the last bidder is/was.
(Basically forgetting who bought the animal)
Selling animals b4 the bidding has stopped.
(Isnt the object to get the best dollar for the product)
I've seen several times the auction begins and there will be a bid but b4 anyone else can bid the barn owner yells SOLD!
Ridiculous IMO...
Just plain not paying attention to the bidders.
(Folks hollar a bid.. HEY Or whatever. Who said that?)
That one always cracks me up!
These things happen frequently at one place. I like the guy, dont get me wrong.
But he dont call auctions anywhere else because of these things I think.
Whatchall think?
See stuff like that anywhere else?
Perhaps this is part of why this lil sale does not attract a lot of business.
