Did you see it? Auction Item Guide™ released

Sherry Truhlar 2 Comments

Did you catch it earlier this year when I released the The Pandemic Years: 2020-2021 Auction Item Guide,™ covering item sales during COVID? 

Since starting my business in 2005, I’ve released an publication showcasing 100 of the top-selling items from events I’ve worked the prior year.

These are the items the crowds most loved, paying over full price for each one. 

It’s curated full of great auction item ideas for your next event. 

Since launching my Guide, a number of software companies and consignment companies have begun releasing their own versions of item lists, too.

Here’s why I’d encourage you to take a look at this one:

  • These are real items with real descriptions and real values.

I’m not giving a generic example of what sells well, or a hypothetical description. These are lifted directly from the auction catalogs; you read what the crowd read.

  • Another reason this tool is unique is because — as auctioneer — I sold these items. I am not looking at data after the fact and saying, “Hm, that seemed popular.” I was in the room … on stage … reacting to the audience as they bid.

I witnessed the sale, noted the enthusiasm, and documented the price.

Real deal stuff.

Feel free to grab the latest (complimentary) Guide, “What Sold Amazing When the Virus Was Raging.”

Scan through and share! You’ll see the top 100+ selling items from 2020-21 from dozens of auctions dotted across the USA.

Latency is so last year. Now, we’re on to audio.
Is this a live auction item or a silent auction item?
