My dad told me of an Auctioneer selling tobacco pallets in a warehouse in Madison, N.C. He caught his pants on a small nail on one of the tobacco pallets and ripped a small hole in them as he was walking by. My dad said he never missed his rhythm as an Auctioneer but inserted "well, I tore my dam britches" ! A true professional he was! Thanks for the video!
I did my first auction for a charity last night and your video saved me! We raised good money and I got great reviews. This may be something I pursue and your lessons will be my foundation. Thank you!
I was just asked to be an auctioneer at a charity auction -- never done anything like it before. Watched all your videos and totally knocked it out of the park! Thank you for the great content!
Please don't stop doing these videos this is AWSOME! This is what I have been trying to find on youtube FOREVER. Thanks so much I'll be watching your videos from now on!
I'm just a 23 year old kid that wants to impress people by learning to do this. I stumble over my words a lot. Got the first simulated auction wrong by 2 bucks. But the other 2 were right. I'm gunna get the "dollar now" thing down before trying to add in anything else other than repeating the number 2 or 3 times. This is gunna be fun.
Great videos! I was getting into Auctioneering years ago in my 20s. I am 47 now my kids are raised and gone and I am back into it and these videos are fun and helpful!! I have a long ways to go and Looking forward to more vids!
I listen to the Leroy Van Dyke song The Auctioneer and that song is an inspiration. Because of your teaching in these videos, you've also inspired me to attend an Auctioneering School and become a licensed Auctioneer.
I just found this video. I love the freestyle portion. That is actually one of my hardest things that I need to work on is remembering who has the bid and remember which number was bid so that I’m not cheating anyone. That’s for the videos and keep it up. I will definitely be watching the rest.
Hey Ethan!! Ya remembering bid prices and bidder numbers is very important but practice will make it become second nature (though mistakes are always bound to happen). I still transcribe numbers or forget what is bid at times, thats were having a great Clerk can save your hind end!! If you like the freestyle bid calling sessions make sure to subscribe cause there will definitely be more in the near future! Thanks for dropping me a comment and welcome to the Syndicate !
Sounds like NOW-WOW..the faster i go. Lol, my called it out. I had to go back to listen, You have helped me learn..THANK YOU!! Now lets do work on those" fills".. A truck driver on the road with nothing to do for 10 hours. Why not learn something About something else... Was always interested, but yes, did get more from storage wars. But my first was being an Alley sorter at the livestock market. I have seen you're filler word video as well... You are a great teacher. I can't count money the same anymore, not even if it's in my own hand. Lol
Wow, that’s awesome you should of introduced yourself. You are very good, love your videos. I too went to auction school in 2008 (Missouri). I just opened in 2018 and have lots to learn especially on my chant. I do practice and watch videos on a daily basis so I am very dedicated. Keep up the awesome videos ......... Hopefully I can land a real good one so I can get you over here auctioning.
Last evening, I was watching storage wars & storage hunters. I said to myself wow, that sounds like a lot of fun and it also sounds really hard definitely a challenging. I like how it involves singing and using your voice ..... so I decided to look it up on UA-cam and learn the craft. This is the first video I found, and it will be the basis of my learning. I am loving it. I will be a professional soon. 😁 it’s really fun to learn new things.
Wow! This is the best bid calling video I've seen to date! (I'm not an auctioneer, but my uncle Al May of Cabot, VT was "The Man with the Derby Hat" and I love to practice bid calling in his memory.) :)
I am on my second auction on to the third. I started my own Booger Pickin Auction in Alabama Im trying to take on consigners and get a place to hold live auctions. Funding at this time is low so Im learning the best way I know how. UA-cam school.
Great videos, Blake. Love ‘em. My dad and I went to the Texas Auction Academy in Dallas, TX in ‘94 when I was 17. Mike Jones was and is the president and instructor. Unfortunately, I didn’t do anything with it, but my dad and I had a blast. I am planning on going back as soon as I save the money. Keep up the good work. Look forward meeting you, and possibly working with you, someday. Thanks for the content.
Hey Jason!!! Thanks for adding me on instagram. Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying the content. Sorry I haven't posted, holidays and life happen right. I look forward to meeting you and hearing about your career someday. Keep in touch and let me know if there is anything I can do to help!! Welcome to the Syndicate!!
I would love to see a video on how you handle bid progression when it stalls and how you change money increments. Such as 5-10-15-20 and drop to 5-10-15 22 and half now 23 ext...
I love this, thanks so much. How do you do a chant when you are having a hard time getting a certain number. Where you have to ask for the same number over again.
Thats a great Question JBL Creations!!! One of the reasons we will review and practice so many different filler words is for this exact circumstance. Lets say the bidding slows down at $4 and you are asking 5 but your other bidder is really thinking hard so you need to stall to give them the time they need ....this is where we start utilizing COMBOS of filler words that roll together nicely and we kind of ping pong between the number we have (4) and the number our other bidder is thinking about (5) Example: Im Bid 4 Dollar Now 5,5 Would You Give 5,5 Anybody Wanna Give 5? (Pause) Im Bid It At 4 Dollar, Would You give 5,5,5 Would You Give 5,5,5 Dollar Now 5? P.S. I think this would make for a great future video so keep your eyes open!!!
I really enjoy your videos and channel. Please keep them coming. I'd love to see one on stalling, as well as one on quarter dollars - like $2.50/5/7.50/10, or 100/125/150/175. I can't seem to get my chant going well with those numbers. I'm new to this, but will be attending auctioneering school in the spring of 2020, so want to get as much practice in as I can first! I've been attending auctions all of my life with my dad and now with my husband. My dad always told me that I'd make a great auctioneer, but I never pursued it. He passed away last month and now it's my mission to pursue this. Thanks for the great tutorials and please keep making these videos - it means a lot to us :)
T Cole!!! Thats awesome that you are making auctioneering your new mission/ journey. What auction school are you going to attend??? I plan on making a video on practicing 2.50 soon. Things have been really busy the past few months for me. November my schedule will slow down dramatically and we will get back on a steady schedule again. You should take the Auction Syndicate challenge and record yourself selling and send it in. Id love to hear your chant and maybe we can work on a few things before you depart for school!!!! Keep practicing!!!
@@AuctionSyndicate Thanks for the reply! I'm in Canada, so will be attending Barb Richard's Canadian Auction College in Barrie, Ontario. I have watched (many times) the challenge video and have thought about sending in a video of myself....I'm sure I will in time. Have to get more confident in what I'm doing before sending my video in to an expert like yourself! :)
So I'm a singer at the local opry. I heard The Auctioneer by Leroy Van Dyke for the first time on my Pandora radio last night. I just have to sing that song. But...I'm going to need some auctioneering skills to do it. Looks like I found the perfect channel!
Brad, The Auctioneer Song is a classic. Ive been taking Vocal lessons with an instructor that used to sing in the opera . Talk about amazing. Learning to sing has helped me so much in my ability to auctioneer. I look forward to every lesson i have with my instructor. Once you master the song you should record it and i can post it for the Auction Syndicate Community to enjoy/ gooooogle over!!! Cant wait to here it brother.
@@AuctionSyndicate As a singer, I have been able to recognize from videos I have been watching that some auctioneers do take lessons from singing instructors and do vocal warm-ups before they auction. I will let you know when I sing the song. I'm pretty excited about where this might go.
New subscriber here and wanted to thank you for this video. Are there any breathing exercises you do that can help with calling. If so I’d love to see that video
Used to go to Mannheim auto auction every Friday with my dad when I was growing up and I am literally in my truck right now driving down to a job site in Washington DC pretending that I am auctioning off Volkswagens at Mannheim 😂😂
Do not ever smoke one and come upon this video, I don't do that but could only imagine if I were. I had a few beers came upon this after watching a car auction lol!
Frank!!! I will definitely take that as a compliment. Matt’s a great auctioneer. Glad to see you started a UA-cam channel, great way to market your items. When my girlfriend graduated from auction school, she wanted to see what an auction house sale was all about. We went to your sale this past winter. You’ve got a great setup. I use the same Bose speaker as you. Keep in touch and if you ever need a hand with a big sale let’s us know. Blake
Now I know where the FAA gets their air traffic controllers. (Or is it the other way around?) Point: You gotta be a member of the club before either one makes sense.
The hardest part for me is not laughing. I find auctioneers so much fun to listen to, it absolutely tickles me to both hear it and to try it.
ik i wasn't the only one😭😭😭
How does it tickle you? They’re not brushing a feather back & forth on your skin.
SAME! I break around 6 or 7 and just start laughing. It's wild cause it's a good laugh of like "holy shit i'm doing the roll"
This is my favorite new hobby
Mine too and am 12
Me 2 Lol

This is my first auction lesson - thanks for starting me out - practice does make perfect - Wish me luck
You don't need luck. You'll do it. I don't know you, but I have all the confidence in you. Incidentally, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
I was just asked to be an auctioneer at a charity auction -- never done anything like it before. Watched all your videos and totally knocked it out of the park! Thank you for the great content!
This guy reminds me a young John Travolta when he played Bud in Urban Cowboy. Love listening to auctioneers. You have a great voice for it.
This was a lot of fun. I used this to help practice for a desert auction at my church as a fundraiser.
This is actually the best practice I’ve seen on line
I’m a musician who does vocal percussion and happened upon this channel. This was so fun to try! Subscribing.
Please don't stop doing these videos this is AWSOME! This is what I have been trying to find on youtube FOREVER. Thanks so much I'll be watching your videos from now on!
Auctioneer Raps brought me here! No regrets! I stayed and practiced the whole episode.
I don't know why I'm watching this video, but I wanna go buy something now, so good job I guess?
hahah My work is done here : )
See, I was bored and decided to try to figure out how to do stuff like this just to flex in my friends.
This is day 1
Good luck
8 months later... howd it go?
How is it going?
It's been 10 months

Best of luck Rob!!! Let us know how it turns out.
I'm also curious how this turned out! Hope it was fun.

How much did the church sell for?????
Stationed overseas right now and I thought I’d come home to the ranch with a new skill and I love your channel for it’s lessons. Thank you much!
Well thank you for your service !!! Never hurts to learn a new skill right 🙂. Thanks for watching and keep bid calling brother. Be safe out there!!!
I had no idea how fascinating this would be.

I would say try and slow down your chant, practice slowly and the speed will come!!
I'm gonna try this here in the Uk in a fish&chip shop,......should be fun cos they're all Greek or Italian...

These are brilliant tutorials, more please
Thanks Jonathan!! I appreciate the feed back. Welcome to the Syndicate!!!
how do you decide where to start the bidding?
Awesome!
Do you have to double punc😢 the numbers h
Do not ever smoke one and come upon this video, I don't do that but could only imagine if I were. I had a few beers came upon this after watching a car auction lol!
Really Great Video!!
How did I get here?......😂🤣😂.....good video though. I can now understand an auctioneer.
You are amazing man
awesome video helped me get a little better
You said you were going to Auction School....What filler words have been working with your chant?
That's cool I was off by 1 dollar for the items..
It kind of reminds me of someone picking a banjo at an extremely fast rate of speed.
A good auctioneer sure makes good money!!
Sound likes Matt Lowery ..... pretty darn good

Dollar Now is a great filler word!!! One of my favs!!!
The Gutteral Throat stuff is the hardest.
Pretty damn awesome
I need your help I love it
Lmfao at 939 I was like we’re did the sound go !!!
I sold the last item at 9 . More practice
love ya😁😁😁😁😁😁
Now I know where the FAA gets their air traffic controllers. (Or is it the other way around?) Point: You gotta be a member of the club before either one makes sense.
Cool 😎
I should everything for almost a 100 idk where you getting those low numbers from 😂
I was with you until the I'm bid it at... Dollar now... it's coming out "imbbbbdolr2" 🤣🤣😩
Good job
