I
have been in the auction business since 1970. I can’t believe it myself!
I have had the priviledge of selling all kinds of real estate and assorted
personal property. I have had the honor to conduct or participate in
thousands of auctions in the last fi fty years.
There have been many changes over the years. When I started, auctions
were a novelty event, now the auction platform is one of the most accepted
marketing platforms. Like all businesses more and more reliance is being placed
on computers and digital communications. Yet after over thousands of years the
public still has a fascination with open oral public auctions.
I was one of, if not the fi rst, auctioneers to advertise in the Shop ‘N Swap
Advertiser. My friend, Mark Thomas, previous manager of Shop ‘n Swap got me
started years ago. Now the Shop ‘N Swap is the auction publication of choice in
North Central Oklahoma.
I love auctioneering and enjoy doing it. I enjoy the action and dealing with
people. It’s satisfying to see people buy something of value that they can use
over a number of years.
With Respect,
