Zane Parrott forwarded this encouraging and entertaining post-sale story for his Illinois auction last week of oilfield equipment: “After the auction closed and we were discussing the total bid price, the seller’s exact words were (and pardon my French), ‘Are you 💩ting me? It brought that much?’ The seller was thrilled. Pickup went smoothly. And all is good!”

I might do some wild adrenaline stunts on my days off, but my clients like Wyeth Auctions take big chances with their livelihoods. I work hard so that those risks are rewarded as often and as much as possible.

I had never advertised the liquidation of a [click to see type of] company until Mike Knudsen of The Hamilton Group sent me this Michigan auction. The ads performed efficiently in every category, but one stat grabbed my attention: 202 people had shared the ads with their Facebook friends. That’s a LOT of free advertising!

“We have had a TON of traction for this auction. We knew we would get some due to the car and the jewelry, but in relation to other estates, it’s just a ‘small’ estate auction for us. However, on Saturday, we had more at our open house than we have had in a very long time. More in our local area have registered for this auction than we have seen in a while. I was even at my neighbor’s house yesterday, helping them register.”

I regularly experiment (with permission), because my goal is to make my clients the biggest possible commissions I can on the budgets they have.

I never thought I’d ever advertise an armor-plated vehicle, let alone a Mercedes-Benz Maybach S650 with bulletproof windows. This vehicle once belonged to Guo Wengui, a Chinese billionaire, crypto fraudster, and racketeer.
