We still need to collect a lot of the cash from the auction items and await some bills from the hotel, but looking like we raised over £37,000 which will go to the youth development programme.   Thank

As usual anything reported in the Sun is pish.   Willie is involved as speaker and we have certainly had several meetings with him but the event is being organised by Stand Free Youth Development set

Ronaldo went for £1k and Messi for £2.6k

 

LS is a mate of ours, he met Tommy for a pint in afternoon and was a last minute addition to our table.

 

He donated the Bayern shirt signed by the Gothenburg greats. We got it for £600 and I think folk missed a trick with that one!

He did a great job and we raised a bundle of cash on the auction.

 

He will be back next time too.

I had a cracking night, left before the auction though as I didn't trust myself and also had somewhere else to be but up until that point it was superb, Richard Gordon was fantastic, I think when he swore at the start everyone in the room almost spunked, Kennedy was out of this world too, the story on Fergie after the knee inury was brilliant.

 

Cheers to all those involved in getting this going, look forward to the next one.

auctioneers are taught to start at a higher price then drop down to a starting bid, also know whan to pluck bids from the sky when required, i am just saying that say something is stick at £400, if he had taken £50 pound bids instead of the £100 ones, thn it is a proven fact that the lot for sale would sell for at least £450 obviusly £50 more than the £400 sticking price, but over 90% of the time the lot will then travel an extra £100- £150. if you add this to every lot then you are looking at well over a grand more, but if folk are happy at the prices rasied then thats all that matters.

Also there were a load of bids down beside us that he missed granted it was'nt easy to spot everyone.

Just trying to be of help, happy to give him a lesson for next time if he wants!

does it really matter?

Sounds like it was a great night and more importantly a large sum of money has been raised for a great cause. Well done to all involved

Correct, Liam

 

Steve did very well and raised in excess of £11k at the auction which is in excess of our estimate.

 

The boy done well and helped us raise a significant sum

depend i thought the whole idea was to raise as much as possible, just trying to help towards that aim. trying to use personal experience,

the auctioneer has to try to capture the audiences attention, a rat tat tat style is far more likely to do that also gives folk less time to think about what they are bidding hence they often bid more than they want to.

Steve gave his time and effort on the night free, gratis and for nothing.

 

He raised a sum well in excess of our estimate.

 

We were delighted with his efforts on the night.

 

He helped us raise over £11k toward our goal.

 

Bottom line is that's all that matters

sorry to sound bumtious, perhaps i took it too seriously, just spent so many years learning from so many auctioneers how to sell, what and when, just always looking fro things to be done right.

but minijc i am sure you have a world of experience in auctions no doubt having watch numerous episodes of bargain hunt, or flog it.

point taken , apologies
