  • My first in-person auction in over a year! Feels good to be back in action & the finds are sweet! Mike and I head about an hour North to a fantastic estate auction. Literally everything was being sold INCLUDING the kitchen sink. I provided a few tips on how to best approach an auction for those that have never done it before. I hope this video is helpful to those that want to venture out of thrift stores & yard sales in search of other antique inventory sources. Please enjoy this LIVE Antique & Vintage Auction.

    Not me straight out laughing at Mike's "that's what she said" at 8 am while the rest of my family sleeps 🤣🤣 but seriously, great video Amanda! I think this will help a lot of people who haven't been to an auction get over their fear of them

    My goodness! I can’t believe how high the furniture sold for. In my area, they can hardly give it away. We’ve only had two onsite auctions this year. But I have two next weekend. I’m excited!

    I actually bought my second house at an auction. It was crazy! They gave us a lot more time in-between bids to confer with our realtors. We ended up winning, at 1,000.00 over our agreed upon max bid. Pretty insane experience, definitely one for the memory books!

  • @denisegeorge8381
    @denisegeorge8381 2 года назад +2

    My husband uses a technique at auctions when he knows it's a piece that will go high and he wants to intimidate other buyers. He lets the bidding go for a minute or so and then yells out a high number. For instance, on the table you bid on, he would've let it go back and forth from 0-150 and then yelled out $250 to jump the number up. It intimidates people and discombobulates them somewhat and folks drop out. He usually uses that when it's an item he wants for us personally but it is helpful to keep that method in your back pocket!

  • @mr.goodpliers6988
    @mr.goodpliers6988 2 года назад

    On items that are for resale, I decide a price beforehand and don't go over it. If it's something that I want for my own collection, I set a target price range, then see how bad someone else wants it.
    If I'm a long way from home, I don't buy more than will fit in my vehicle on one trip. If I'm close to home and stuff is falling in my lap for cheap, I try not to buy more than what will take a work week to load, haul, sort and stash.

I was going to ask if you felt the furniture went higher than you wanted but then you mentioned Luckett's and that makes sense since I'm assuming you'll have some good mark ups? Great deal on the glass fronted piece!

    @silvergirl7810 8 месяцев назад

    I found that the auctions I went to ‘on site’ seemed to go higher than ‘in house’ auctions- not sure why. It might have been that there were just so many more items at ‘in-house’ auctions people weren’t having that frenzy phenomenon going on which caused bids to go up- or inside there was more of a calmness and people were sitting down- whatever the case- it always seemed to tip towards fairer prices and I stopped going to anything but my favorite ‘in house’ auctions that I knew would be worth my time.

  • @deboracontos834
    @deboracontos834 2 года назад

    I participate regularly in 2 online auctions in Houston. I like that I am not influenced (as much) by the bidding process. I know what I'm willing to pay for something (ROI) and if the price goes over my budget, I move on to the next item in my "watch list". I go and pickup the items I've purchased in 1-3 days. Before the auction starts I have 3-5 days to review pictures, measurements, and other details about the items for sale. It sure saves on driving time (gas prices) and the auctions I participate in have very nice and quality items. I highly recommend bidding in my comfy chair at home! ; )
