One of those "what do you do" threads...

YT-

Your skill set has always had me intrigued. I've only been witness to 1 live auction and still don't know how it's done. How do you learn? If you don't mind....just curious

Here ya go

That skill has always amazed me YT, I would seriously black out after about 30 seconds of trying to do that.

I'm a Global Engineering IT Manager for an Industrial equipment manufacturer and distributor. Not nearly as exciting as YT, that's for sure.
This is my home away from home when I'm not traveling:

I think you need another spreadsheet opened

I thought it was cool to have 4 monitors, until I realized I end up working on 4 things at once...

What you really mean is 3 things and cobaltchat

Bfun I met him once at a Championship competition. He was pretty nervous around all those big gun bid callers, and hes the reason most of them got into the business!

Sailor here's what I always tell people.

Say peanut butter. Then say it fast over and over. Then count.

That's pretty cool YT. And saying that "peanutbutter" phrase fast, over and over is not easy!

Kinda reminds me of a pastor I used to converse with who, in his younger years, used to fake speaking in tongues when he was in training with a more charismatic ministry. He mentioned he would just say "Boddahundashooodaboddatoyodda" real fast over and over which of course translated is "Bought a Honda, should have bought a Toyota". They all thought he had some special revelation from God with how well his tongues flowed from his mouth. (On a personal note, we both believe that gift closed with the closing of the canon in the first century.)

In any event, maybe he should have been an auctioneer.

Haha YT, my tongue can get twisted saying hello.

[Alaskabound]

Yt, I’m impressed. Have bought real estate at courthouse sales many times but more than once, the auctioneer, who I knew, would stop the auction after I bid and say “Dub, we had that bid about three bids ago, you’re behind!”! Wish my mind worked that quick. Good job!

That explains why I'm 25% behind on my project.

In all seriousness, it was awesome to see him in action.

Hard to recognize you YT without your sombrero

I didn’t think that halo was yours.
