Charles Wickins, The English Auctioneer Auctioneer from Birmingham, MI

Do you trust an auctioneer who doesn't tie his own bow tie? It may not matter but, for the record, I do tie my own tie. When planning a charity fundraiser with an auction component The Right Auctioneer DOES make a difference. Although a medical professional you wouldn't ask a dentist to take out your appendix, why would you ask a news reader to conduct your auction? Live auctions do not need to be large events to be profitable, indeed many organizers go beyond the law on diminishing returns, but should always be fun and something to look forward to rather than endured. After years of life experience and hundreds of auctions I have the ability to create a rapport with varied groups of guests and am considered to be a "High Energy" auctioneer. Despite some claims to the contrary we are auctioneers, not magicians, but a good one will make you money, not cost you. When hired as an auctioneer you secure my expertise with consultations as needed and my services as a Master of Ceremonies if wanted.
