Sunday Ramble Week 2 2019

Winter finally hit and we have snow. Today, I took a young lad, of 14 out and we shared some of the finer points of firearms. I'm hopeful that he enjoyed himself, as we had 2 .22 LR's, a .223 AR 15, a pump 20 gauge, and a .44 Lever action rifle. Pretty sure he had fun, and I am happy to report, that he handled the gun responsibly enough that I will look into the license laws in Ohio for the remainder of rabbit season.
Following that, it was time to get to work. We are conducting a benefit auction Sunday February 17, 2019 for Toni Cooper. Toni's husband, Petey Leach, committed suicide, in March of 2018. A week before Christmas, her 14 year old son, Cameron Leach, committed suicide in an attempt to be with his dad. The pain... I cannot fathom. My skill as an auctioneer, my beloved community of Coshocton, we can help make the financial burden easier. I wish to thank All the people involved, Tommy Unger, Carolyn Roth & Mike, Carla Stocker, Kimmy Ash, Marie Gross, Mark Knicely, Tony Rochester and his band, Janie Brown, Tristian, Joellen, Ashley, Adam Laudick, Danny and Sherry, Ashley and Chad, and many others that I am probably forgetting. I have a great friend in Colleague, Billy Hagan coming over from Indiana to help me.
The event will be held at the Army Navy from noon until 11pm. There will be a pool tournament, Spaghetti dinner, Auction, and live band, as well as games. We are hoping for a large community turnout, and will be on Facebook Live for the auction, both in my personal timeline, and an Auction Group that I belong to.
Then, I got started on a consignment auction upcoming that will include Longaberger baskets, Collectible glass, of Cambridge, and possibly Fenton, and possibly some pottery. I have 92 pieces committed, 86 baskets from 1, 6 from another, with others that I need to firm up. Looks like it will be a good one.

In closing tonight, I wish you all balance, peace and prosperity. Enjoy your journey, my friends,

​Shawn J Dostie, Auctioneer, CAI

Auctions Work!

I've been so busy that I have been lax on updating the blog. I just realized that in the last 3 1/2 months, I have conducted 38 auctions and been involved with 9 more with other auctioneers. I'd like to talk about one in particular, that stands out. After finishing one of my wholesale auctions, my cashier (Sister) told me about a local florist that was closing her doors... in 12 days! I went to visit her and found out that she had grown up in an auction family, meaning her father had been an Auctioneer. We negotiated the contract then went to work, she and her family on the set up, me with the marketing. 10 days was very short notice, and so I did my requisite Facebook Boosts, she called her wholesalers, I made some calls, and auction day came. I sometimes hear naysayers that say you can't do this, this will never work, and whatnot, but into auction we went. 1/2 hour before auction, we had a line of people registering. As we began the auction, which we both figured would be somewhat modest, given the short notice, but prices started out strong and stayed that way through all but the very end. We had two items with reserve to worry about. A 12' Enclosed Trailer. Result, it almost doubled what we thought it would bring. Admittedly, I am conservative when I estimate because I want sellers to be realistic, but this trailer brought $2250.00 which was on the high side of the value. The bidder was happy and the seller was happy. The other item, the one that I was worried about was a florist cooler. They are specialized, niche and if you don't have the right buyer.... It won't sell, and it isn't the easiest thing to dismantle and store. Regardless, we got it sold for a number the seller was happy with. It is with great pleasure that I can help people with a solution to their problems, that puts cash in their pocket.
