SUBJECT: AUCTIONEERING: IT’S MORE THAN JUST FAST TALKING
________________________________________
The weekend of February 7-8, 2020 was a busy one for Oklahoma State Auctioneers Association (OSAA). This is when auctioneers from across Oklahoma gather for the Annual OSAA Winter Meeting, in Oklahoma City, OK, at the Embassy Suites, Downtown OKC.

While auctioneers come for continuing educational credit, the convention offers many more opportunities for both seasoned veterans of the auction profession as well as newcomers to the industry. Some say it’s the competition that attracts them. Others say it’s the entertaining nature of the business. Whatever the case, people everywhere are sold on auctions.

Real estate, collector cars, antiques, art, business equipment, electronics, livestock…it’s hard to name something that hasn’t been sold at auction. No one understands this better than the auctioneer himself. People who attend auctions often only see the auctioneer as someone who shows up the day of the auction and “talks fast”. Ask any full time auctioneer and you will find out that there is more to it then fast talking.

On Friday, February 7th, the 2020 OSAA Winter Meeting kicked off with our Annual Competitions. The Oklahoma State Auctioneers Championship Bid Calling Champion, the sought after title at each years’ meeting. This is where men and women alike compete for this prestigious title and the opportunity to represent Oklahoma, not only at a state level, but also at the International Auctioneer Champion Contest held July 14-18, 2020, in San Diego, California.

There is truly something for everyone at this convention, in addition to Champion Bid Calling, Champion of Champions, the Junior and Rookie Contests are included for the novice beginner and the Ringman competition is fierce. The following winners were announced at the 2020 Winter Meeting.

This year, the OSAA presented the Eddie Haynes Scholarship to a first time attendee. This was awarded to Willy Sawatzky.

The 2020 Junior Bid Calling Contest— 3rd Place: Cade Enlow, 2nd Place: TW Davis, 1st Place: Tyler Bell

Auctioneers create a competitive and entertaining atmosphere that attracts consumers to the sale. Their hand gestures, eye contact with the crowd and their rhythmic “chant” stirs buyers and brings the sale to life. It’s what separates auctions from other types of sales. Though one of the oldest methods of sale around, auctions continue to thrive and grow and are held today around the world. Auctioning has stayed tried and true with the times and continues to be a favorite among buyers and sellers.

Last but not least, each year the OSAA chooses one member for the prestigious title of the OSAA Hall of Fame Inductee. This year, Shawn Terrel received this honor.
