Theres an old fellow that does household auctions around here, and everything sells for a dollar or two, like you say, pennys on the dollar of what things are worth unless it is something really special and the bidders are hot to get it. I know his problem is he talks real slow, but on the positive side, you always fully understand the exact bid amount since he would say " can I get a dollar for this wonderful _____, (then someone would bid that dollar) ok, a dollar I got, now how about $2" etc.... his mouth isn't going 90 miles an hour like all the other auctioneers in the area, and he doesn't pressure anyone to bid again like other auctioneers either. He does most of the household auctions in the area, but he must be all of 70yrs old. If you follow his auctions you could buy a whole house full of stuff for a few hundred bucks. Folks would better off to hold a large lawn sale then call this guy in. He brings in nice crowds, but he just doesn't get the bids like others do, the antique dealers sure love him since they get steals on all the antiques at his estate sales.
