6. History of Auctions 500 B. C. in Ancient Greece 193 A.D. in Imperial Rome 1620 – Pilgrims brought the auction method to America 1674 – The “Stockholm Auction House” was Established in Stockholm Sweden (oldest auction house in the world) 1861 – Civil War’s effect on auctions 1929 – The Great Depression 1989 – The formation of the Resolution Trust Corporation 2008 – Financial collapse compared to the worst in U.S. history

7. History of Auctions 500 B. C. in Ancient Greece: Greek historian Herodotus first documented annual wedding auctions in Babylon. 193 A.D. in Imperial Rome: Auctions were held in the “Atrium Auctionarium” and the auctioneer was titled the “Magister Auctionarium” (which required a license). A spear was driven in the ground to signify the beginning of the auction and removed at the end. One of the most astonishing auctions in history occurred when the entire Roman Empire was placed on the auction block by the Praetorian Guard. Didius Julianus was the high bidder and became the Emperor of the Roman Empire. Unfortunately, he was beheaded two months later when Septimus Severus conquered Rome. It is said that Julianus may have been the first victim of “buyers remorse”.

8. History of Auctions Auctions Come to America: when the Pilgrims brought OLD WORLD sales methods with them. Because of the lack of marketable items, it is probable that auctioneering was considered a part-time job. After colonization of America, there was strong movement westward. Settlers began selling personal property that they could not move with them at public auction. The new immigrants coming to America by ships would purchased these items at auction. Stockholm Auction House: Today referred to as Stockholms Auktionsverk “Stockholm’s Auction House”, was established in 1674 in Sweden. It is the oldest auction house on record in the world Civil War: By 1861 the Civil War had it’s own effect on the auction business. Spoils of War (items taken during battle) would be sold at auction by Officers (generally holding the rank of Colonel) giving the auctioneer an honorary title of “Colonel”.

9. History of Auctions The Great Depression Era: Leading into “The Great Depression” Era of 1929, auctions gained in popularity but immediately became stigmatized due to the trauma that families experienced from having their homes, businesses and farms foreclosed on and sold at public auction. Even though the auctioneers did not Foreclose on the properties, they received criticism thru the process. This impact affects even today. Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC): In 1989 Congress formed the RTC to respond to insolvencies of over 747 Federal Savings and Loan Associations. The RTC liquidated assets across the nation in an attempt to re-pay insured depositors along with funds dedicated from Congress. While the RTC represented a failure of one financial system, it put the spotlight on the effectiveness and expediency of the auction method of marketing. Real Estate auctions were taking place all across the nation and gaining in strength, popularity, and recognition as being a viable marketing tool for RE and personal assets. Since then the auction method of marketing has continued to grow into a widely respected and exciting method for marketing property.

10. Why Do People Use Auctions? One of the oldest forms of offering property (real or personal) to the public Creates competition and a sense of urgency that can not be duplicated in any other form of marketing Expedites the marketing process and drives the market to the property Eliminates a ceiling on the price Seller remains in full control throughout the process by setting all the terms of sale (date, time, deposits, conditions, etc) The process is fully transparent and recognized as being fair to all parties and it reveals the true Fair Market Value (FMV) of an asset Satisfies Governmental and Judicial requirements Provides an unlimited amount of flexibility with any type of real or personal asset, when combined with multi-parcel bidding, multi-property events, live internet bidding, blended approach, and static (timed) online platforms

34. Auction Formats Reserve Auctions  The seller is allowed to set a minimum bid or “reserve” price on the property being offered at auction. Absolute Auctions  The property is advertised “absolute” and offered at public auction without a reserve or minimum bid price that has to be reached to sale the property.  Absolute Auctions can generate larger amounts of interest as the property shall be sold regardless of price. Absolute with Minimum Opening Bid Auctions  The property is advertised to be sold “absolute” with an advertised minimum opening bid. In this format, the property will be sold to the final bid if it is at or above the advertised minimum bid.

35. Auction Formats Recommended Starting Bid Auctions  The property is advertised with a minimum starting bid. In this format, the property does not say it is being sold “absolute” so it may have an undisclosed reserve price that it will need to meet before it is able to be sold. Sealed Bid Auctions  Generally advertised for bidders to submit their bids to a location on a given (time, date, etc) and instructions with where, when, and how the bids will be opened and handled  Commonly utilized by Attorneys, CPA’s, Banks, Trust Companies, and is gaining acceptance by auction companies across the country Timed (Static) Online Auctions  Recognized by many as an “eBay” style auction  Online auction platform allows successive bidding in a “timed” auction format  Can incorporate a dynamic ending to extend the final minutes of bidding

36. Multi-Parcel Auctions Concept The multi-parcel concept is simple. The system involves dividing large tracts of land into smaller tracts, then allowing bidder’s to bid on individual tracts, combinations of tracts, and the entire property. This method allows the maximum amount of buyers to participate in the event. Allowing the maximum amount of bidders to participate will increase the overall price per tract and maximize the gross sales volume at the end of the day. Multi-Parcel Bidding Software Multi-Parcel Bidding Software makes the process more effective. MP software keeps track of all bids placed and computes the amount the next bidder will have to bid on a tract or combination of tracts. During the auction event the multi-parcel bidding software can be projected on an overhead screen allowing the bidders to have full understanding and knowledge of what the bid is and who holds the bid. In some cases a “mock” auction can be conducted in advance of the live auction, to educated bidders and make them more comfortable with the process.
