About
David Palmer started auctioning in 1982, and has concentrated on rostrum work since. He now feels he is beginning to understand the art. David has worked freelance for the past decade since becoming a house husband. He is an experienced and adaptable auctioneer who has sold everything and enjoys new challenges. All he requires is a PA system and an audience.
David has sold from fields, shops, private houses, theatres, nightclubs, cathedrals, market squares, restaurants and schools to name but a few locations. He now travels around 40,000 miles a year to attend a wide variety of auctions, including emergency relief cover for charities, corporate and commercial auctions. David has even undertaken 3 different sales in one day. He has conducted sales with only 1 lot to 2,224 lots which is the most to date in a single day! David also holds regular talks about his experiences and the life of an auctioneer to a variety of groups
Recognised for his colourful waistcoats, David can be seen on various television shows such as Flog It!, Bargain Hunt, and Cash in the Attic to name a few. He has even won the Anthea Turner Perfect Housewife Programme, and loves his tiara prize!
David has noted that nothing has a constant value, and prices are governed by the bidders and the enthusiasm of the auctioneer. His animated, informal and humorous style is known to bring positive results to auctions. David is aware that people need to be entertained as well as parting with their money. He aims to send home all bidders, successful or not, content and wanting to come back for more.
