How to Auctioneer or Bid Call

[@chriscraft77022]

you just unlocked something i have been wondering about for 30 years...

[@friendlypiranha774]

Chris Craft, yes he did. Makes sense now👍

[@adamsmith8370]

Chris Craft me too!

[@CuriousEarthMan]

me three lol

[@DETERMINOLOGY]

He explains it a bit a bit better then the way everyone else explains it which makes sense now even tho ive known a bit about auctioneer

[@luklarson]

When I stumbled upon this I thought it was going to be something funny, but ended up watching the whole thing and became oddly interested. A am actually going to practice. Ha ha. Life's short, why not have amateur auctioneering under my belt. Love the passion Brett, keep up the good work.

[@Budnipper82]

Thanks Luke... hope this helped you. Me and my buddy just made this video for fun and to act silly but ended up being something informative than we thought it would be. Glad you enjoyed and good luck to you. Brett

[@josephdillon5203]

I'm actually going to practice this!

[@freighttrain7144]

me too

[@infomercialguy]

OMG this guy is great. I do videos professionally. This guy cut right to the chase. He's clear. He's educational. Doesn't waste tine. He's understandable. He's funny. Likeable. He seems like one heck of an auctioneer and fine person. Great vibe! Awesome video. Thanks!

[@zendiime]

I am going to practice this for the sole purpose of getting shit faced drunk and selling my friends shit in my house..... party trick

[@MXL.14]

that's a damn good idea

[@thatclothgirl]

@norcal YXZ your comment made me evil laugh out loud...then it got me thinking! Rent party!

[@EdWard-ju2gh]

Mr. Powers, I really enjoyed your lesson. Though I'm not interested in being an auctioneer caller you sure made the lesson enjoyable, and I learned something!

[@Budnipper82]

Thank you Ed! Glad you enjoyed and that you learned in the process. Thanks, Brett

Eres un chingon....

[@nascarFergie]

I've watched this video a dozen times in the last couple years. Gotta thank you for it. Motivates me to aggravate the heck out of my wife. I even auction the dog treats, they start barking and she starts yelling. It's a good time!

[@joanbenson4381]

lol

[@AcolytesOfHorror]

Why is this the best KZbin video I've ever seen??

[@cameoflores6744]

That was really great. I’m not looking to be an auctioneer, but I was always about what they were saying. Thanks a lot for the video

[@SebastianSativaLivemore]

5:17 "Now we're wantin' a DOLLAR! :[" The enthusiasm of this guy is contagious!

[@plantnut65]

I saw this video on the side of the "Auctioneer song" and have always been interested in "How to be an Auctioneer". Very enjoyable and well presented. I too watched this video to the end. Thank you.

[@denstump4590]

Great Video! I just got my Auctioneer License today myself!!!! I have been around auctions for near 40+ years as buyer/seller and finally took the leap to become an auctioneer myself! This good clean simple approach to bid calling is where most should start and some should return to! Blub Blub Blub $30 Blub Blub Blub $35 Blub Blub Blub etc...... REALLY!!! Though maybe been in the biz for 40 years that guy sounded like drowning in a lake and going down for the 6th time! LOL Great video and you sound good there, I hope I can be as good with more practice!

[@michaeldouglass8592]

Thank you for the straight forward instruction. Was asked to auctioneer fora school fundraiser in April. You have given me lots to consider. The visual aid of the whiteboard is EXTREMELY helpful. Again thank you!

[@opiist1350]

Your chant is beautiful and you have nice rhythm. And your southern accent makes it even better! 👍

[@cactuarlol8288]

Watching from the UK here, love this video it makes everything so much easier to understand!

[@Meee64286]

CactuarLOL 😚🤗🤗😚😇😚😚

[@thelatertrader]

7:28 "The two most important things is your "Got" AND your "Want" AND your numbers! I love this guy! Great video!

[@CredibleWitness]

My dad sold antiques and growing up, we spent a lot of time at auctions. Brings back fond memories ❤

[@4wwest]

I hear Tony Rice singing Gotta Do my Time! great background.. then Alison Krauss and Union Station.. Little Girl of Mine in Tennessee Flatt and Scruggs.. Great Stuff.. You broke it down real easy.

[@scottbechler9975]

The first two songs were Flatt and Scruggs, then Ricky Skaggs.

[@ShowRyuKen]

Thanks for leaving this comment! I never would have been able to track down the Alison Krauss song without you leaving this comment. It took me a little bit of searching but I found it: "Momma Cried".

[@4wwest]

@@scottbechler9975you’re right that is Flatt and Scruggs doing DOING MY TIME. how could I miss that.

[@veronicakardys7232]

I enjoy listening to auctioneers. Everyone has their own style how they auction call. Could listen all day long. This was a very informative video.

[@Slayyy12343]

Might just be the greatest video on KZbin! Greatest tutorial on the net and the greatest example of simplicity I've seen. Just awesome!!

[@Miguelskytwins]

I just don't know how i got here... Greetings from Barcelona, Spain.

[@jakobauger6805]

Perhaps you've been a cowboy your whole life, amigo!

[@tinabamfo6597]

This is great, I am 65 years old I love to learn how to auction. Tina

[@dpsamu2000]

Well I read half a dozen articles on auctioneering and this is the only one that made sense. It's the point about practicing repetition of the numbers in series and then repetitious practice of the filler words that clicked. Thanks.

[@ExperienceTheBuzz]

Stumbled across this and LOVED it. Great job delivering the basics. Thank you for sharing.

[@jamespbergeron7461]

It's a lot of practice and A God given talent to become auctioneer that is clear in delivery,sometimes a little fun mixed with sarcasm and most importantly one who can draw the most money from the bidders. These guys are a true pleasure to hear practicing their craft.

[@justinjustin337]

I'm impressed. You broke it down easy. I'm wanting to help our little community out with auctions but want to get people into it. This is gonna help me for sure!!! Thank you!!!

[@billclinton2255]

Probably the most informative and easy to understand video I've seen on youtube. Thank you!!

[@Budnipper82]

Bill Clinton Thank you Mr. President! Glad you enjoyed and miss you! I’d pay for your women to get you back as President right now!

[@fineartonfire_5327]

This is the best instructions I’ve seen to date. No bs, just tells ya what ya need to know and all ya need ya know. Very well done and great video my man!!

[@natenkyra]

I know nothing about auctioneering. This video was awesome and explained it very well. Thank you.

[@harleyb.birdwhisperer]

I plan to attend an auction next fall. Your video has helped me learn what I’ll be hearing and decoding it. Thanks. I’ll rewatch between now and then

[@BMangaming677]

this possibly could be the best video on KZbin. I love it

[@bengtkorswing5279]

Thank you! This is the best explaination of the auctioneers language. God bless and take care.

[@csugrad2005]

Thank you very much for the lesson. I learned so much and will help me when I go to auctioneer school later this year. Just these basic steps have already given me a good start on chanting. Thank you so much again!!!

[@BlackWoodDecor]

csugrad2005 you should check out auctionsyndicate!!!

[@bambiroxx]

“Gotta get that number sequence down” *SkiPs SIxTeEn*

[@LuciferLizardo]

Sometimes the bidders skips numbers to ensure they will get the item.

[@jasonsimpson8074]

I came looking with intrigue. I'm leaving with absolutely no new knowledge because I laughed through the whole thing! I love your personality! Hilarious!!

[@AnatomyMan]

You seem like a great guy just to go fishin' with! Very funny and happy too! Thanks for sharing this.

[@thegooseshow8358]

That was awesome!! I wish I could do that, but there just ain't no way!!! Love the deep southern accent!! I'm an ole country gal that lives on a farm and go to alot of livestock auctions and I love listening to the auctioneer! I do have to say though, you are really amazing at this!!

[@troyleenewgent9013]

this is 1 of the best videos to really break it down n make it simple on how to practice

[@lulabell79_31]

Excellent tutorial! I'm a former licensed real estate sales associate but auctioneering was always something I thought I'd love to do! You should teach auctioneering!

[@gradyscheel3531]

Great video! Stumbled across it watching "the auctioneer" song. Very entertaining and loved the songs in the backround. Id like to bust out the auctioneer song on guitar next time im around the campfire and this might help! Ottawa canada

[@ibbylancaster8981]

The lesson was awesome! The music In the background was even better. Can't beat Bill Monroe

[@Ravenfellblade]

I've recently become fascinated with auctioneering, and have an interest in learning the art. This was quite informative.

[@diegorivera2163]

This was super helpful thank you! I'm running a work incentive and it's a mock auction where staff can bid on prizes with points they have won for varies tasks. I'm the auctioneer! I had no clue what to do till I saw this. Thanks again!!!

[@sandyferris1317]

Your lesson was extremely professional and worth it while Your composure remained very encouraging. I'll practice for the sole purpose of knowledge; thank u

[@bigian4649]

Lmao it's an old video and I don't know if you even check comments now, but thanks a lot man. The crazy part is your natural speaking voice. It's only crazy because I don't know what I was expecting, but it obviously should have been this.

[@bradh6185]

Thanks so much for making this video. I don't plan on being an auctioneer, but I always wondered what they were saying and why they were saying it.

[@BrockFriskeChannel]

Awesome awesome awesome video! The animation haha! Well done! So much easier to learn when it’s fun!!!

[@willp82]

This comes up in my feed once a year and I still watch it

[@ianzerbe3281]

Im an aspiring auctioneer found this really helpful!! thanks

[@conner365]

Very helpful. Your technique seemed really clear and effective. thanks

[@mr.mentat.0x]

This has got to be the most entertaining video I have seen all week... this is great!

[@STUDENTOFARNIS]

Excellent instruction. Well explained. You should make more instructional video. You make learning fun.

[@theshelftv430]

I wish I could hang out with this guy

[@tydupont8084]

Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your video. Auctioneering is a legitimate skill

[@johnbundy3000]

I'd like to take a moment to thank you for your tutorial! Using your teaching, a lot of practice, and some experience I've had on the mic in the past, I was able to raise $34k for The American Caner Society, Habitats for Humanity, and Make a Wish today. your tutorial was perfect. THANK YOU AGAIN!

[@richardharris2031]

Thank you for posting. It gives me hope. I am getting older and cant do some of the things I used to because of a disability. I have always been intrigued by the art of auctioneering and I think I am going to practice. Thanks again

[@CorvusDei2012]

This has been very helpful in preparing for my charity auction. Thank you.

[@getsmart2594]

NICE LESSON, AND YOU ACTUALLY STRAIGHTENED OUT A SITUATION IN MY HEAD WHERE VIA THIS VIDEO, I FOUND OUT I WAS WRONG ON A BID THAT THE AUCTIONEER DID. YA SEE HE ( THE AUCTIONEER ) WAS CORRECT. SO NOW I CAN SAVE FACE WITH THE GENTLEMAN AUCTIONEER. GREAT VIDEO.

[@karabeltran2790]

Love this. You're excellent at what you do. Thank you 😊 for the video.

[@gwiley3922]

I freakin love this guy!! so entertaining to watch! I love my people.

[@RockinWheelsAuctions]

im an auctioneer and this was just wonderful. thanx for posting

[@Tyler_deJong]

You are an excellent teacher and I love your style

[@apenny_foryourthoughts3037]

Looked at other videos about auctioneering but yours is the best!

[@Amarikita]

Absolutely crystal clear, well presented lesson. Thank-you for your words of wisdom.

[@SunshineSmiles189]

This dude is so rad. Love the enthusiasm!

[@19TeePee]

Great video! Watching from South Africa... This was very helpful! The background music in the beginning is something else though...

[@Masterblox90]

This is awesome! I got recruited to be the auctioneer for a church fundraiser tomorrow night! Hope I can get this down in the next 24 hours!

[@MCINpallet]

Great video and one of the best I've watched 👍 I'm going to learn from you . Thank you

[@deserteagleslim1]

He said "jew you down" I'm dying my grandfather use to say that all the time when I was a kid. 🤣

[@friendlypiranha774]

Jason McKinney, that was very funny. I also heard it.

[@GameVilleofficialpage]

@LNY Its crazy, I’m Jewish too, people are so sensitive. I personally find that funny, and anyone who has a sense of humor and a realization of history should too.

[@chuaagga2830]

I thought it was chew

[@Joesmusclecargarage]

I still say it to this day.

[@mollyroseteuke4258]

Thank you! I've been asked to be the auctioneer at our community public radio station's fundraiser in early November, and I know this is really ambitious, but...I hope to do a reasonable chant. You've given me a great start, and I promise...I'll practice every single day!

[@Jacob_6420]

This is the best video on KZbin imo, I already had a motor mouth just had to learn the cadence haha 😄 😆

[@kevanjohnson625]

Idk what it is but I love this video. This guy is great! Educational and entertaining. Lol

[@Javelin434]

I don't know what I love more: the southern accent, or the music in the background reinforcing all the prejudices of US southerners xD

[@michaelthornton8000]

Well, I think what Javelin434 mean't (because clearly he was saying that he LIKED the vid), was that the sound of old vintage bluegrass music recordings sometimes might (unfairly and inaccurately) reinforce the prejudicial opinions of certain bigots, against folks in the South who are largely good and honest people, undeserving of that poor stereotype as discriminatory and simple. I don't think he mean't that HE felt that way, -at least, I HOPE he doesn't feel that way! BTW, there isn't any racism or prejudice whatsoever in the lyrics of those traditional Classic Bluegrass songs.

[@marcosrenan8014]

I too, think this is a pretty racist comment

[@jtsax95]

autigers2010nc you clearly don't understand what racism is.

[@copperhead-rc5sx]

if you think this is racist then you are wrong in the mindset cause I'm southern like this and that is not a racist comment, it is a compliment

[@scruffy6151]

Autigers2010. I listen to this all the way to the end of the video and never once thought about making a racist comment and i live in Wisconsin and bluegrass music is enjoyed up here also and so is a good southern drawl. If you what to be racist yourself that is your choice but, do not lable other with that title. I read the first comment and never thought it was racist and after reading your comment i know who is racist, guest who it is you.

[@NeillWylie]

I'm from Scotland and this video was educational as hell. Fantastic!

[@spiritdancer1057]

I am wanting to be my own auctioneer. This video is so interesting and informative. Thank you so much

[@YourCommentIsIrrelevant]

Thank you for the useful tips. Also thanks for putting a Rodney Carrington twist in the lesson

[@dannywmeeks]

Been a while since anyone posted here but I will. I enjoyed this tons! I now have a place to start that I actually think I CAN start! Great lesson!

[@willian.direction6740]

Good to see you do that. I have watched you play many songs as well on the wonder web.

[@joesmith7427]

u can be an apprentice auctioneer in some states, its a good idea, it gives u practical experience and you may not need to go to school, but its a real good idea to go!

[@SevenRiderAirForce]

I am glad this human exists.

[@ashleyepting409]

One of the best, simple, fun vids on this I've seen. I'm filling in for my brother at an annual party we do on Ossabaw Island. Thanks for the tips. "I've got a 2,012 vid would-ya-gimme 20-16?"

[@petergunn9281]

I think I found my new calling. Thankyou sir

[@michaelthornton8000]

Man, gotta be the highest class auctioneerin vid on YT with Flatt & Scruggs in the background to open it up. Wonder if old Earl or Lester woulda believed it if they were told in the recordin booth in 1959, that the track they were layin down (Doin' My Time) would be the opening background theme for an instructional movie still being watched in the year 2018 on KZbin? In his typical gracious tones, I'm sure that Lester would have modestly said "Man, that's just great, but lemme ask you...what sort of thing is "a you-tube"?

[@cowboygeologist7772]

This was fun to watch. My Dad was a cowboy but also did a good job as an auctioneer now and then. I have been to many auctions over the years but never saw it explained in slow motion what they were actually doing / saying. The background music was a little distracting. Thanks for posting.

[@petereinert2625]

Dude, you are awesome. I'm only learning this so I can sing the "Auctioneer Song" at karaoke, but still very entertaining!

[@taukappaepsilon938]

Very good yet basic demo. Thank you so much! I've been around auctions just enough to be dangerous but you showed me how to take what I've experienced & put it to simple use for a charity auction item I was "volunteered" for. ha

[@Ashton_and_Gavin_Johnson]

First auctioneer video that makes sense. Love the music too!

[@barrybrown4496]

Thank you from the old north state..... North Carolina !!!!

[@richpotter]

I'm putting together a theatrical piece where I need to be an auctioneer. Thank you. Very informative. Note: The background music in this video is unnecessarily distracting. You clearly know your stuff and I appreciate you sharing!

[@chadherfel1500]

Laughed out loud at this, learned alot while I laughed, thanks man

[@ibexacres851]

Thank you so very much for this video! I just might work on a retirement part time job.

[@Jimmythefish577]

Not sure how I ended up here, but this is awesome! Love it!

[@rodgerarmstrong2464]

Amazing lecture very well done you are a credit to your trade..

[@dirk600]

i could just listen to you go on and on. loved it

[@claytonhyland3873]

VERY informative. Learned a wibbidda good amount from this vid. Thanks.

[@johnnythumper409]

Nice job. You explained yourself well. Your video was down to earth and enjoyable. You are very entertaining. It seems like Auctioning isn't just numbers but also getting the people's attention. I wish there was some way to get that on a video. I think you could do it if you put your mind to it. Thanks again.

[@freighttrain7144]

Thanks for this.. i too stumbled on this after visiting an auction last week.. i was mezmerized ! always wanted to do this.. as luke said.. lifes short! PEACE ~ FreightTrain

[@audreygarrison5171]

Great video. I raise animals for the fair and always wanted know how auctioneering was done. Thank you

[@DanielLienata]

Watching from Indonesia, I'll be the auctioneer for a charity here, and I will use English as the language. So fun learning from this kind of person :))) thanks so much

[@KamalasNotLikeUs]

daniel lienata You miss the point. It's the Southern accent that makes the auctioneer chant so effective and interesting.

[@MissouriGunnerKC]

Best tutorial on here, thank you!!

[@adamallison8454]

Bret Powers... You are hilarious and need a reality show bro. He said, "they're gonna JEW you down a bit." at 4:45. lol. Very helpful and informative system and fun way you present it.
