April, 2019 Queenstown is hosting an inaugural Australasian auctioneeringcompetition this month. The LVD Auctioneering Invitational features a dozen top-class orators from New Zealand and Australia and 13 novices. Held at the Crowne Plaza hotel, its open to the public and will also be broadcast online via GAVL and Facebook. It culminates with the top five auctioneers calling a simulated auction at a yet-to-be-disclosed Queenstown property. Chief organiser Mark Sumich says: Ive seen the property and its got a big view of the water. Thats what were after, to bring the creative juices to the fore. A four-time NZ champion and three-time Australasian champ whos called almost 12,000 auctions, Sumich says Queenstown was chosen as Central Otago region and Dunedin have become popular for auctions, but the areas not hosted this range of high-quality auctioneers before. He adds its also a precursor for Queenstown possibly hosting the Australasian champs, which come to New Zealand every four years. The competition has been held in Auckland four times. The competition is timed to allow auctioneers to hone their craft ahead of pinnacle events later this year. He believes an auctioneers key attribute is being able to read the audience. We encourage spontaneity we want the individual to come to the fore.
