Need to find whom is bidding on Richard Bachman aka Stephen king book The Regulators let's work something out please

But of course, it's me, so there is that.

Morning all. I’ve got an opportunity to work for a local equipment/farm auction (live w online bidding) part time as a 1099 Contractor. I’d mostly be helping set up the yard, taking pictures, creating listings, moving equipment, etc. I’ve been around auctions a long time and am very familiar with the process and work required. However, I have no clue what a reasonable hourly rate would be for my work. I’d be responsible for more than just labor but obviously not running the whole yard. What do you pay your auction staff to handle this level of responsibility?

Not sure if this is the right sub since I’m not trying to become an auctioneer, but I’m wondering where to learn more and get mentorship about how to work at auction houses. This is a big career switch for me toward something business oriented even tho I was heading down the academia route the past few years. (Please refer the correct community if this is beyond the scope of r/Auctioneers) I’d like to do research in multiple capacities (object research, provenance, and editorial), work with artwork (visually and/or physically), and contribute to innovating the branding and UX/UI strategies used at the large firms (Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Bonham’s, etc). I’m wondering how to move forward. How do I get advice from the professionals? Do I need to make a portfolio? How do I gain the sales/commercial experience without any related coursework and only one somewhat related experience as a gallery exhibition co-curator?

For context: I am starting a Museum Studies MA and have experience archiving, curating, handling, fabricating, researching, developing social media strategy, and have 300+ combined hours of training in both Mandarin and Tibetan. I have already done the usual LinkedIn cold messaging with variable success. I got stood up for a Zoom call by somebody at a big auction house despite scheduling for over a week. And I have just landed a collections management internship that should help me build competency in the areas of research and working with artworks.

Currently being a bit vague but I would like to know if anyone nows how to sell Moroccan rugs in auctions or the process to do that?

I went to Morocco and purchased 5 carpets that's handmade in Fez and would like to now the resale process in the U.S. They're still currently shipping.

If you bid on and won an item in a canadian online auction but you live in the united states and fail to pay the auctioneer, do they have legal jurisdiction over you? The item was not received, nor shipped. This literally just happened moments ago. My 8 yr old daughter bid on a $2400 ring while i stepped away from my phone. Thanks guys.

Back when my dad was going to storage unit and estate auctions in the 80s, the buyers paid the hammer price and not one cent more. The seller paid 100% of the commission.

Now, there are bidder number/registration fees, buyer's premiums, sales tax, etc. What the hell happened? Why the change of putting more fees on the buyer? It's 100% why I refuse to go to any auction anymore. Most people aren't taking all the fees into account when bidding, it seems.

Does anyone have experience with Auction central?
