    Great auctioneer.....wonderful how he encourages the right hand bidder with the words "Sir-you have been with us all along the way......
    Although it sounds a lot for a quilt.....you have to consider how many evenings and month go by until such a gorgeous quilt is completed-very often they only part with these master pieces because they simply need the money.....
    Personally I like the quilts made of years of clothing from the toddlers-children- until they are grown ups-these quilts tell you a life story and never fail to carry you back to times when many things were easier.....
    Thank you for posting.

      Once you're around it for a while, it doesn't sound so fast and intimidating. Just like learning the controls on a playstation game. Seems crazy complicated at first, but after a week you're doing it without thinking. It's just a matter of knowing what to listen for and ignoring the meaningless chatter......now doing the auctioneering, thats a whole different story than trying to understand them. Those guys have some serious skill.

      They can use electrical things for buisness with the outside world. He also might not be old order, he might be a Mennonite. There r many diff types of "amish" and the amount of electricity they use depends on which "type" they are. But also like I said, when doing buisness with the outside world they can use electrical things, even a cell phone (I am not Amish at all but I watched a documentary on this. So I may be wrong but that is what I remember learning cuz I was curious about the topic also)

Beachy Amish can drive cars, have electricity in their homes, but don't have Television/Internet/Radio. Theologically are closer to Conservative Mennonites than Old Order or New Order Amish. And, holy crap, do they play a lot of softball!

      LoL good point. Although he could be Mennonite and the uploader mistook it for Amish. I think Mennonites are allowed to use electronics. I prefer auctions without speakers and microphones. The auctioneer I work for uses no electronics, and you can still hear him a quarter mile away. Being able to project your voice is definitely a good tool for an auctioneer to have.

    • @Chickenlegs41
      @Chickenlegs41 Před 9 lety +2

      Andy Price Amish use electronics. The question is HOW they use them. For instance, our neighborhood small engine shop uses an electric cash register, but it's plugged into a battery not into the electric grid. He also has a telephone, but you have to leave a message; he doesn't answer your call directly. The Amish buggies have electric lights on them, but again, they are battery powered. That being said, it is possible that this man is Mennonite. The trimmed beard suggests to me that he's not Amish.

      Generally auctioneers have to sell a lot of shit. Auction houses take a cut of what sells, so the faster they can sell more stuff the better. The rest is just flair and human's constant need to compete with one another. Probably a bit of mob psychology with the rhythm of the chant too.
