00:00Let's save up so we can buy what we want, especially the things we have at home.
00:07Who wouldn't want that, right? It's good for the house.
00:10And I know where you can buy it cheap. Here, let's show it.
00:16Where is it?
00:17Where is it? Let's show it.
00:21That's the Abotkayang Auction that's trending right now.
00:24Yes, and you can buy a lot of things there.
00:26All you have to do is bid on the item you want.
00:29And if you win, it's yours.
00:32It's yours.
00:33That's right. Going once. Going twice.
00:37Let's act honest.
00:39Ms. Suzy, are you ready to bid?
00:41We miss you here, Ate.
00:43We miss you here in the studio.
00:44Ms. Suzy.
00:45Mars.
00:46Good morning.
00:47I miss you too, guys.
00:49But to be honest, I'm happy that I'm here.
00:52For sure.
00:53Look around me. There are a lot of things you can buy here at the auction house.
00:58We are here in Baisasa, Quezon City, in a huge auction house.
01:02I think this is my first time ever going to an auction house here in the Philippines.
01:06They auction everything from furniture to anything else.
01:13So, when it comes to auctions, they sell lots of things.
01:16And there are so many interesting lots here.
01:18So, this is a whole table.
01:20Let's say, for example, these are all folding umbrellas.
01:23This is a whole table.
01:25I think there are around 50 umbrellas.
01:28Here, we have some cookware.
01:30So, when we say auction house, you might think that they are all secondhand.
01:34Actually, no.
01:35A lot of the items here are just random because they are old stock.
01:38But a lot of them are actually brand new.
01:41For example, this tea set.
01:43I hope they don't reduce it in their lot.
01:47It's brand new.
01:48And there are a lot of different sets.
01:50So, when they sell this, this is a whole lot.
01:52Now, if you are a beginner and you want to buy just a few,
01:56they also have that.
01:57They call it a half box.
01:59That's what we'll see later.
02:01So, for example, this is one of my favorites, Japanese stoneware.
02:04When you see that it has a lot of stock that are similar,
02:07you know that it's actually brand new.
02:10So, how does an auction house work?
02:13Oh, I'm so excited because wherever I look,
02:17there are furniture, suitcases, motorcycles, and whatever else.
02:22So, we'll see now how they auction their half box.
02:27So, a lot of these items, they start from Php 100.
02:30So, of course, you're thinking,
02:31I'll go there for a whole box for Php 100.
02:34But the battle here is that the bid will go up and up.
02:37And of course, it will go to the highest bidder.
02:40So, our challenge is how to be an auctioneer.
02:43I think I'll train them to be an excellent auctioneer.
02:46I'll just stand here.
02:52Sir, wait, I'll just stop you.
02:54Alright, thank you so much to our bidders.
02:56Sir, what's their name?
02:57Sunny.
02:58Sunny, you're so good and you speak so fast.
03:01I was challenged because I also speak fast.
03:03Sunny speaks faster.
03:05Have you ever spoken that fast before?
03:08It's been almost 8 years.
03:09It's been 8 years.
03:10So, how did you become an auctioneer?
03:12Do you have training to become an auctioneer?
03:14Yes, I started as a warehouse staff first.
03:17And then, I had a chance to train my colleagues who are now auctioneers.
03:22Yes.
03:23And then, I continued.
03:24Alright, we'll direct you.
03:27So, Sunny or me?
03:29Sir.
03:30Sunny, alright.
03:31So, you can see how fast the bidding is.
03:33Okay, next.
03:34So, we're here at the assorted tableware.
03:37$100 only.
03:38$100, $200, $300, $400, $500 now.
03:40$500, $600 mom.
03:41$600.
03:42$600.
03:43$200.
03:44$100 again.
03:45$100, $200, $300.
03:46$400.
03:47$500.
03:48$600 now.
03:49$600.
03:50$700.
03:51$700.
03:52$700.
03:53$700.
03:54$700.
03:55$700.
03:56$700.
03:57$700.
03:58$700.
03:59$700.
04:00$700.
04:01$700.
04:02$700.
04:03$700.
04:04$700.
04:05Okay, next item.
04:06$100 only.
04:07$100, $200, $300, $400.
04:08$500 now.
04:09$600 mom.
04:10$700 now.
04:11$800.
04:12$800.
04:13Okay, sold to bidder number 7.
04:14Okay, next item.
04:15$100 again.
04:16$100, $200, $300, $400.
04:17$500 now.
04:18$600 mom.
04:19$700 now.
04:20$700, $700, $700, $700.
04:21$800 mom.
04:22Sold to bidder number 23.
04:23Next.
04:24Okay, wait a minute.
04:25So that you can rest very, very light.
04:26Because that's also what I want to ask.
04:27How long is your shift before you can rest?
04:31Actually, ma'am, we're two auctioneers here.
04:34We change every 30 minutes.
04:3630 minutes?
04:37So at that time, can you drink water?
04:39Sometimes, right?
04:40Because the water is getting dry.
04:42We can stop even for 10 seconds to drink.
04:45Just in case.
04:46But really, we're two here.
04:48You're two.
04:49He's on standby.
04:50Yes.
04:51Usually, you watch him.
04:52All right, what tips can you give me as a first-time auctioneer?
04:55Because honestly, I watch Sunny.
04:57I'm confused with what's happening.
04:59I see Sunny talking so fast.
05:01And the numbers are getting higher and higher.
05:03How do you know who won?
05:06From the last bidder number that's up.
05:09That's up?
05:10Yes.
05:11So if these are half boxes, what's the starting price?
05:14For these, there's no problem.
05:16Even if we start at 100, it's up to our bidder how much they want to buy our item.
05:22In movies, when I see it, they just say, for example, anyone for 200, for 300.
05:27Is it like that?
05:28No.
05:29There's a big difference here.
05:31This is a past space auction.
05:33You're so fast.
05:35All right.
05:36I'll try.
05:38Sorry.
05:39Sorry in advance.
05:40All right.
05:41So there's a description.
05:42Description.
05:43Yes.
05:44Description and then price.
05:45Here in the big one.
05:46I'll practice with the small one.
05:47So I'll describe it for a moment.
05:48Yes.
05:49Are you describing it, Dale?
05:50Yes.
05:51Just fast.
05:52So it's so fast.
05:53I didn't realize that he was describing it.
05:54All right.
05:55We have a box here.
05:56100, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 500, 600.
06:02Okay.
06:03700.
06:04That's it.
06:05600.
06:06Winner is number 7.
06:07Okay.
06:08Wow!
06:09G&A 7!
06:10What a win!
06:12After 7 won, I'll put it here on the roller.
06:18At the end, they'll put a sticker.
06:21There's also a double-check list.
06:24I can imagine.
06:25There can be a lot of mistakes.
06:27Yes.
06:28Because it's so fast.
06:29Yes.
06:30You can't avoid it.
06:31So it's like double-check, triple-check.
06:32Yes.
06:33All right.
06:34So now, after, for example, how will they claim their win?
06:37They'll go to the registration area and then they'll ask for the invoice of everything they bought.
06:43Yes.
06:44All right.
06:45So, for example, we've already done that.
06:46Then we'll distribute it.
06:47Oh, no.
06:48Wait.
06:49There's more.
06:50The items are getting bigger.
06:51Wow!
06:52Okay.
06:53Okay.
06:54Let's try this.
06:55We have a cabinet here.
06:56It's perfect for your houses.
06:58It's from Japan.
07:00All right.
07:01We'll start the bidding at P700.
07:03P700.
07:04Oh, there's more.
