literally billions of people are capable of rolling their R's etc. This dude was just pretending. Actual auctioneers are capable of doing this while actually saying the intended words. This is like one of those people that sing a song but don't know the lyrics so they just mumble jibberish.
My dad was an auctioneer at one time (among all the other things he did in his life). He would buy estates, used furniture, carry consignments and auction it all off once a week. I was the lucky teenager that got to clean out all the old stoves, refrigerators and polished old furniture. He loved the biz and I hated it, lol
@@jq7323 my Dad would rig a keg of beer in an old refrigerator with the faucet/spout coming out the side and give free beer to all the patrons. This was back in about 1967-68 in Texas. He would be selling stuff and some smart ass would yell out ‘’twenty five cents!!” for an old beat up refrigerator, and Dad would yell back “SOLD!!”…. Got a good laugh out of the audience, especially since they had to haul way whatever they bought, lol…. miss my Dad, he was a character, you had to be, to be an auctioneer.
@@bigredfred33 not very informative considering the context. But that's a nice story. I miss my dad too. I'm honored to have spent those 17 years with him
Haven’t heard anything like this in years. When I was a child, we’d go with my grandfather to the cattle auction and the guy sitting in the chair running the shoe sounded a lot like this with a slightly different accent (in GA USA). As a kid, it was always amazing to me how much sound come out of one person and it took me several trips to understand a word that was being said. Great video, much appreciation!
Same here. We werent farmers or ranchers, but my dad would take us and go to auctions to get animals to slaughter for meat..... So. Ca. desert. Because of the dust bowl days a lot of "Oakies" and such migrated here.
Don't get me wrong I love this video. this person is very talented but I feel as soon as the doctor told his mother he had ADHD she put him in the perfect career path to be somebody and not get in trouble later on in life. Good job Mom!
Hate to "uhm akshually" you but ADHD would be terrible for this job. You need to remember and repeat quickly shifting numbers in the short term and you have to not stutter (people with ADHD have a greater chance of developing a stutter). This is a little bit of talent with a whole lot of practice.
@@fluidthought42 bruh, stop being annoying. i'll be your "uhm akshually" person cos ADHD is experienced so differently to each individual person. i doubt you have adhd cos you wouldn't make such a dumb statement like that. unless those are the things that you struggle w personally-- but you're still dumb for thinking that everyone else experiences what you experience. stop making us look like useless fucking victims or retards.
@@fluidthought42 I have ADHD but fortunately haven't developed a stutter but I can tell you that when I am trying to sleep that sometimes my mind goes like how this guy auctioneers.
@@drun_do_kun I have ADHD too, but I will remind you that while the distance between mind and mouth is somewhat shortened by ADHD that can work to our disadvantage from time to time. For me personally it was not only a stuttering but also cluttering of my speech and of course the need to talk aloud to myself in order to organize my thoughts better. The latter tendency was especially reduced by medication.
@@ghmj2607 Yes, I have ADHD. Yes, ADHD has a range of expressions. Yes, I was being pedantic as fuck. But as someone with ADHD (primarily inattentive, btw) who has to work with numbers all day, ADHD is definitely a disadvantage towards retaining those numbers in short term memory. When on medication the recalling of numbers is far more effortless than without. And considering that the most common expressions of ADHD does include impairment of short term memory... BTW, if you hear "greater chance of developing a stutter" (which I did develop) and equate that being "retarded", that's a you problem. It's not even an exaggeration, lots of things you wouldn't primarily think as being associated with ADHD correlate with having it, from chances of having allergies to developing unhealthy sleeping schedules. Tl;dr please stop my dude, you're acting up when it's not necessary to
this guy is great!! to you who can't understand the words, only the numbers, haven't been at and auction very often!! cause he uses filler word to keep the buyers alive, an auction is about numbers not words!! It's a gift from god like someone already mentioned ! He's awesome
I've been to a great many auctions.. And never understood the value of it.. Honestly I thought they were just talking too quickly to follow.. I think in some cases a really, particularly sh!t PA system was not helping anyone. But yeah, I've only ever found it a hindrance. And quite intimidating for a new bidder. Anyway, amazing skill nevertheless..
@@montanaplease Cloth masks were silly, surgical masks were partially useful and n95s work. I don't like masks either but there's no need to be cringe about it.
Absolutely love live auctions. The online ones just aren't as fun because people snipe at the last minute and it's a hassle dealing with figuring out the clock and trying to type in a new bid in time.
A friend of mine's dad owned an 'auction house' so he went to auctioneering school to learn that skill. Ain't nothing like trippin' on LSD or some good 'shrooms and Robby starts talking in auctioneering speak. OMG!!! Laughing WAYYY too hard.
i remember going to an auction with my father when I was a child, probably around late 1990's, and asking my dad why the auctioneer wasn't doing this and he just kinda laughed and said people don't do it anymore
For everyone that thought he missed the guys bid at the end. He did not miss that guys bid. That guy wasnt even bidding. He is the ringman an was getting his attention before he started selling the next item. I know this bc this auctioneer is my cousin. If u look at the ringman his hat has an auction company logo. He is not bidding just getting les's attention to explain the next item.
Col. Angus Not to mention, you can be non-amish and have Amish cousins... Trust me, I live in southern Indiana and know plenty of non-Amish who have Amish relatives..
This is Les Longenecker, from Bernville, PA. My brother and I saw him 2 weeks ago in Rehrersburg, PA. Here's the video he posted: ua-cam.com/video/4fPPfzcTTaM/v-deo.html "Auctioneer Goes Ham"
There's different rules for different sects of Amish. For example in general, they can't own cars, but it's okay for a non Amish to drive an Amish to work.
Most of them can own the vehicles if they are for work but they need to get a devil englishman to drive it. They have cell ohones for work. And they use electricity but the problem is being connected with the outside world with wires.
Some may think this skilled or cute but some find it dishonest or intimidating. I have seen times bids coming out of thin air. I love bidding against the auctioneers shill then dropping out.
I would end up buying somethn way the heck out of my price range thats for sure i cant understand him but i did love how it did the auction i always loved to hear leroy vandyke sing the auctioneer song.
Yes, entertaining and impressive BUT as a licensed auctioneer, I can tell you this type of cadence is never used in serious personal/real property auctions. It frightens and confuses experienced bidders and simply terrifies novice bidders.
I believe this type of auctioneering style is primarily used for livestock auctions, which is serious enough but also at that point most the people there were likely seasoned and used to the cadence by the time they were old enough to legally drink.

As a used car dealer that listens to this every week this is by far the best auctioneer to ever speak
All of a sudden everyone in the comments knows an auctioneer. Always a professional
