Gary Pennycuff has been an auctioneer beginning in 1991. You won’t get the slow English style of auction calling. He blends his rhythmic auctioneer chant along with humor to excite the crowd and promote competitive bidding. He takes great pride in making sure the crowd knows the bids at all times and will do everything in his power to keep the event right on time.
