The traditional auctioneer is most proficient in fast talking, or “chanting” as it is called in the auction industry.  They can go through many auction items in a short period of time, and quickly try and get to the highest possible bid on each item.  Traditional auctioneers are most suited and needed at heavy equipment auctions, auto auctions, and general merchandise auctions.

Option 2- The professional benefit auctioneer, charity auctioneer, or fundraising auctioneer.

Option 3- The volunteer or celebrity auctioneer.
