Italian Auction - only 44 seconds!
You don't have to understand Italian to follow the auctioneer:
A Chinese Ming Vase is up for auction. The bidding opens at a half-million Euros.
Bidding
is brisk and each bidder is clearly
identified as each raises the bid by 100,000 Euros. (The exchange rate
at auction time was 1 Euro = $1.43.) Within seconds, the bid stalls at
one million Euros, and the gasp from the crowd identifies the excitement
that prevails in the room. The successful bidder is the last one who
bid one million , and the auctioneer counts down the bid, "Going
once, going twice, and sold to the gentleman sitting in front of me for
one million Euros."
Now, you are going to have to see the
video for yourself. The auctioneer is exuberant. The pace is fast. This
is how an auction should be run. Please note the excitement on the
auctioneer's face after the final bid.
