Auction - May The Best Bidder Win
An auction means a public sale of properties or objects that are
sold to the highest bidder. There are a whole lot of things that
can be put to auction. There are auctions that are held under
various categories such as antiques and art, automotive that
include vintage cars, motorcycles, accessories, etc. The other
popular items include clothing and accessories of film stars and
sports stars, scripts of movies, sports goods. The jewellery
auctions selling intricately designed precious jewels and gem
jewellery are extremely popular.
There are auction houses where you can go and bid for the things
of your liking. The auction houses have a calendar holding the
sale on a particular theme. You need to submit details such as
name, address, telephone number and banking or credit
information as is specified by the salesroom where you are going
to bid. A unique number, known as the Client Number, is going to
be allotted to you. A paddle is a plastic card bearing a number
that is registered at the auction. The paddle is raised to bid
and the auctioneer calls out the paddle number of the successful
bidder at the time of selling each lot. When the gavel falls the
auctioneer announces the hammer price. The hammer price is the
final bid price, which does not include a buyer's premium. The
buyer's premium is the money that is paid separately by the
buyer to the auction house. It is a percentage of the final bid
price.
Sotheby's and Christies are two very famous
auction houses.
Samuel Baker founded Sotheby's in the year 1744. However, today
this premier auction house has branches on the Manhattan's York
Avenue and New Bond Street, London. The New York office was
opened in the year 1955. In the year 1964 Sotheby's acquired the
Parke-Bernet, which was the largest art auction house of
America. This acquisition helped Sotheby's gain a sizable
presence across America. James Christie founded Christies in the
18th century. A man having very charming demeanor, James
Christie's clientele included the British royalty as well. The
auctions of Christies include some 80 categories. Their sales
rooms in America are at the Rockefeller Center, New York and
North Camden Drive, Los Angeles.
Auctions these days are not just limited to the auction houses.
There are lots of websites that are into the business of
auctioning. You can list the products you want to auction and
invite bidders. You can specify the time when the bid closes as
well as other terms and conditions. You need to specify that
shipping and the other supply costs are to be borne by the buyer.
