January 2012 Meeting with Mike Logan-Wood
Mike talked about his career as an Auctioner during which thought he must have sold some £75Million worth of properties.
Mike Logan-WoodHe started selling Sheep, Goats and Cows but then changed to buildings.
He said "You must remember you are at the Auction to purchase what you want at the cheapest price while I am there to sell the goods for my Client at the best price I can obtain".
Always agree a "Reserve Price" - this stops the Auctioner having to sell at a stupid price if it is a bad day and also gives the Auctioner the opportunity to "Bid Up The Price" until the Reserve is reached.
Mike kept a capacity audience entranced for an hour.
The capacity audienceThank you Mike for a tremendous afternoon.
