    misryoum.com/us/lifestyle/elto

    “What you’re looking for as an auctioneer is someone who’s truly fearless onstage,” says auctioneer Lydia Fenet. Except when they’re onstage next to Elton John, who hosts his eponymous AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party and fundraiser annually, for...

    You need MLS? You don’t.

    Welcome to 2026, when the MLS finally reveals itself for what it really is: a nostalgia club that loves charging dues while pretending it matters. Joining the National Association of Realtors costs about $200 a year, not terrible on its own. But local boards have perfected hidden fees, insisting you join the state association and the local board just to access the MLS. Annual dues easily top $1,000, a lot for a system buyers barely notice. Auctioneers and brokers who actually sell property […]

    Auctioneers giving up NAR membership?

    The announcement that starting January 1, 2026, NAR membership will no longer be required for MLS access arrived with loud fanfare, as if the industry had discovered fire. In reality, it feels more like a last minute attempt to slow the legal bleeding after already owing at least $418 million. Litigation squeezed hard, and suddenly leadership found courage that had been missing for several decades. For years, agents were trained to believe that NAR membership was the sacred key to the MLS, a […]

    Can anyone believe anything?

    In the auction world and beyond, trust is essential. Bidders rely on an auctioneer’s statements, and consumers navigate news and social media, yet the question remains: can anyone believe anything anymore? Auctioneers frequently use disclaimers, making it hard to know what is reliable. While I may have criticized this in the past, the ongoing spread of misinformation makes revisiting the topic important. Spending time online reading posts, following news, and checking sports updates makes […]

    Auctioneers: AI legal considerations

    Artificial intelligence is now commonly used in the auction industry to draft item descriptions, organize catalog data, and speed up listing production. Auctioneers increasingly rely on these tools to improve efficiency and reduce writing time. From an SEO and operational standpoint, this supports scale, but it also raises auction AI description legal risk concerns. Despite the technology, legal responsibility does not shift to AI systems. Auction descriptions are treated as representations […]

    What if an auctioneer defies a court order?

    When an auctioneer ignores a court order, it is more than an act of defiance. It can bring serious legal consequences that damage both business operations and personal reputation, along with future licensing or employment opportunities. Court orders are not suggestions; they are legally binding directives issued by a judge, and failure to comply can lead to contempt charges, fines, or even jail time. A common example is when a court issues an injunction to stop an auction due to an ownership […]

    Buyer’s premiums won’t work where?

    Buyer’s premiums have become a standard part of auctions around the world. Whether selling real estate, fine art, antiques, livestock, automobiles, or industrial equipment, bidders today generally expect to pay an additional amount above the final bid. In most cases, that fee is expressed as a percentage of the winning bid and is disclosed in the auction terms before bidding begins. A buyer’s premium is an additional charge paid by the successful bidder to the auctioneer or auction […]

    Using AI intelligently as an auctioneer

    Using artificial intelligence intelligently can help auctioneers work faster, smarter, and with greater precision. An auctioneer’s talent has always depended on quick thinking, strong communication, and a firm understanding of both bidders and the market, but AI can now complement these skills by simplifying operations and improving the auction experience for everyone involved. AI can manage bid tracking and data analysis during live or online auctions, monitoring bidding patterns, […]

  33. Yes, I've posted about last week's World #Livestock #Auctioneer Championship qualifier at length. It was a nice experience, with an opportunity to see talented auctioneers perform their craft. Among the contestants I visited with was Northern #Missouri's Chris Arnaman, who grew up in the industry and started competing nearly 30 years ago.

  34. A career shift six years ago put Sixto Paiz on the fast track to success. The #livestock #auctioneer from #NewMexico earned his third bid to the national WLAC semifinals by way of winning #Wednesday's qualifier in Windsor, #Missouri.

  35. Also advancing to the #Livestock #Auctioneer semifinals this June in Florida:
    • Andrew Sylvester (KS)
    • Daniel Mitchell (OH)
    • Jacob Massey (TN)
    • Dean Edge (AB)
    • Neil Bouray (KS)
    • Tim Yoder (GA)
    • Michael Imbrogno (CA)
    • Brennin Jack (MB)
    • Leon Caselman (MO)

    Cody Davis of #Kansas earned Top Rookie honors.

  36. It’s already a full house for today’s World #Livestock #Auctioneer Championship qualifier in Windsor, #Missouri! 45 auctioneers, including two from Canada, are vying for ten spots in the semis set for June in Florida.

    Each auctioneer will sell eight lots in a ten-minute span. This could be a long day; we might not have our top ten until at least 9p.
