Step inside our brand-new Colleton showroom! In this episode, we celebrate our warm welcome from the local community and dive into the changing world of auctions. We explore how modern features like eBay’s new soft close are reshaping online bidding, break down the intriguing concept of wheel auctions, and look at what these shifts mean for buyers and sellers alike. Tune in to get the inside scoop on where the industry is heading!

Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found. Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.
