Auctions have never been so Popular! You see them everywhere, from small towns to network television. From selling Michael Jackson's estate after his death, to selling collector cars on Speed TV through The Barrett Jackson Collector Car Auction to Storage Wars and more. Even as we climb out of this recession, Real Estate Auctions are re-valuing real estate into the market as banks turn to auction firms to sell foreclosed properties.
Zink can share the inside secrets of auctions... the tricks of the trade. She can even teach your anchor or reporter how to be an auctioneer and how to master the pitter patter chant of a champion.
