What do we do?

This morning, an acquaintance and Facebook Friend, Aaron Traffas (an auctioneer from Kansas) shared this quote:

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
― Robert A. Heinlein

I was thinking about this while on an auction site this morning, and made an abbreviated list of some of the things that I've done in my work, in just the past few days.  While I haven't had to set a bone, or butcher a hog lately, the partial and recent list includes:

• A real estate closing
• Title search in another county's courthouse
• Sold a car
• Sold the contents of a home
• Carpentry work
• Loaded furniture
• Taken pictures
• Invoicing
• Collecting
• Banking
• Create & place ads
• Created a catalog
• Consult with prospective clients
• Settled with a Seller for an auction
• Taken orders
• Given orders
• Coordinate with a trucking company
• Filed forms with IRS
• Worked on an industry association project

That's just a partial list for me, but I don't think it is too far removed from what any auctioneer does over the course of a day or two.  (Note:  this list doesn't include the honey-do's from home!)

We are all busy, and lots of us have many talents, and multiple required tasks.  As an Auctioneer, I'm tasked with solving problems.  And there's a wide range of problems that need solving, and an even wider range of capabilities are required.   

Can we help you?
