AUCTION
Read message below first. Then, play the YouTube video. It is priceless. -This is really funny-enjoy! Italian Auction - only 44 seconds!...CLICK VIDEO BELOW !! You don't have to understand Italian to follow the auctioneer:
A Chinese Ming Vase is up for auction. The
bidding opens at a half-million Euros. Bidding is brisk and each bidder is
clearly identified as each raises the bid by 100,000 Euros. (The exchange
rate at auction time was 1 Euro = $1.43.) Within seconds, the bid stalls at
one million Euros, and the gasp from the crowd identifies the excitement that
prevails in the room. The successful bidder is the last one who bid one
million , and the auctioneer counts down the bid, "Going once, going
twice, and sold to the gentleman sitting in front of me for one million
Euros."
Now, you are going to have to see the video for yourself. The auctioneer is exuberant. The pace is fast. This is how an auction should be run. Please note the excitement on the auctioneer's face after the final bid. |
