Totally agree with you Sanura on this one. That is why when I have taken over the GridWide Auctionon List I only take the information, and I don't say "So and so already has that slot." If you are good and know what you are doing (saying), and take the time to review the kitties your sellers are bringing to your auction BEFORE the auction (isn't that why we give you a Notecard about our kitty- and put out pedigree linkers?) then when you are in the auction you will be able to give out correct information instead of guessing and miss leading others. And People will respect you as someone who knows what you are talking about.
Not to go off topic to much - I dislike going to an auction where the auctioneer rushes in at the last minute right before the auction starts, and you can tell they are just then looking at NCs and have not spent any time before hand getting to know what each person has brought. It is unprofessional and annoying.
To make the point again that Sanura said, if you are good, and take the time to know what you are talking about....your clients will come, and the bidders will come too. Being an auctioneer is a serious job, and personally I don't feel it is for just anyone who can read off pedigrees and say a kitty is really cute. It is someone who should be educated on breeding.
