  • @brianhenry2385
    @brianhenry2385 8 месяцев назад +3

    “You can’t bid against me”. - famous last words. Early on my wife and I would attend crowded farm style auctions and she’d ask me to bid on something she wanted. Then we’d separate to preview all the lots. Later when her lot was coming up, the crowd got large circling around the auctioneer. I bid, then got bid up from someone else. I bid again, and again. Then the auctioneer stopped the auction to point out that the other bidder was my wife and did we want to keep bidding? She was so afraid of losing it, didn’t see me and thought I was missing it. So remember a few key tips for live auctions: 1. There are know friends at an auction. 2. Know your bid limits, so you don’t get carried away. 3. When you make a plan with someone, follow through. Lastly, have fun. LOL.

  • @gared287
    @gared287 Год назад +1

    Hi Mel. If I could offer something about attending auctions..... Auctions are a lot like poker games. There is bluffing, body tells and downright lying by the participants. Watching your video told me two things. One, the fellow next to you was trying to be assertive (and maybe trying to be intimidating) by bidding strongly and basically saying he would pay anything - so stop bidding against me...... You, on the other hand, were swaying back and forth during your bidding. You were basically telling the entire room you were nervous (even though you waited until the last second to bid). It night be a good idea to get a book on how to act at auctions, watch some videos or get a book on how to bluff at poker. I always enjoy your videos. Good luck!

    Crazy house. You did right to let those books go, Mel. For $200, I’m not sure there were 200 good books in there. I’ve had plenty of century-old books that didn’t have any value, and a lot of those looked like they were from the 60s. I would’ve been in for $50 at the most. Your relief at not winning is certainly warranted.

    Mostly, all the estate auctions here are online instead of in person now. Some have previews, and some don't. There are always a lot of bookcases full of nice condition books. I don't do books so I don't look at them. They take the old ones out and auction off separately. I love antique and old. There have been times when I had things outside, I hose them off before I bring them inside to wash. There's a lot of time an elderly person that was in there 90's, and then they've been in a nursing home. They couldn't take care of the house, so the dirt was just terrible. The items themselves were stunning.
