You’ve likely heard it said that
patience is a virtue. This virtue is
particularly important to have when you go to auctions. A lot is happening all at once at auctions in
order to keep the sale moving and the excitement high. Auction Tip #5: Be patient. Patience is needed for many reasons at auctions. First, you need to recognize that the
auctioneers will sell everything that has been promised to sell and that they
will get to all the items in due time.
Asking, “When are you going to sell such-and-such?” “Can you sell this
item next?” or other such questions, will only result in disrupting the
momentum and flow of the sale and ultimately prolong the time before the
desired item is sold. It also can create
a lot of tension and short-tempers if everyone becomes impatient with each
other, and we want auctions to be a time and place for enjoyment and purchasing
great discoveries.
Secondly,
if you have a specific problem or concern that can only be addressed by one of
the employees running the auction, you will need to be patient and
understanding about the fact that your concern is not their only issue they
need to address. Everyone working
auctions has a job that needs to get done, and everyone is happy and willing to
help the auction goers in whatever way possible, so long as they are given the
respect and patience they need to get both jobs done. As was said before, auctions move quickly and
constantly through selling the items, which means that a problem will be
addressed as soon as is possible, within reason. Trust me, we do care about your concerns, so
we ask you all to have faith in us to take care of the concern.
