While there are little or no auctions being conducted over the break we will take the opportunity to run a series that looks at how auction is run, the role of both the auctioneer and the agent, bidding strategies and lots more.

The series will feature Phil Parker, Veronica Morgan and Matthew Hayson.

In this episode we discuss:

• What makes a great auctioneer?
• Is it all theatre?
• What are some of the ‘tactics’ used by auctioneers to get people to bid?
• How important is the chemistry between the agent and the auctioneer?
