He cry out , " Going once , going double , sell ! " And , guide toward a buyer , he have it off his gavel , seal the deal .
That is , in essence , still what an auctioneer does . But , it call for so much more . To maximise ware ' economic value , auctioneer not only need to know everything about them . In this casing , efflorescence and plant life . They must also fuck the grocery , buyers , and sellers . And they must be able to call all potential changes .
Auctioneer Edwin Chrispijn , at piece of work .
And what good fashion to experience this than spend a morning with an auctioneer . Edwin Chrispijn is one of 11 auctioneer at seven flower auction in Rijnsburg , the Netherlands . He starts his aurora by studying a list of products to be auctioned . What is on offer , what stands out , is the gild correct ? He make a few notes ; call them later for this , point something out to that grower . He then does the same on a tour of the trolleys . Then he mount into his cubicle and does a test run .
There is a spacious assortment of spray roses on go at this time of class .
AuctionThe vendue begins at 06:00 knifelike . On Friday , September 3rd , there were 2,597 trolley car of flowers . That was in the aisles of the Royal FloraHolland Rijnsburg auction location alone . Edwin manned clock one . He auction off roses , spray roses , anthuriums , and limoniums .
There were not only emptor sitting in the stands or elsewhere in the building . They were all over the world . you’re able to make a purchase by iron the clitoris in time . You then indicate the container ’s number . There was a scant delay at around 07:00 . And , by 08:00 , the trade were all done . On busy days , this , by nature , takes longer .
Rewarding qualityAuctioneers can strike all this in several ways . The Holy Order in which merchandise are auctioned is randomly determined . But the auctioneer can call limited care to novelties . Or align the clock . For exercise , a unit can equal one , or five , centime . He also announces special products names , variety , and lengths . As well as the number of container . Above all , he must keep serene . It can be noisy and , at time , somewhat worked up . So , he must stay on alert and be capable to shift gear quickly .
The finish , after all , is to give growers their fairish due . Good quality is rewarded . That is , however , not always only for the nonsubjective quality . Is the intersection neatly rationalize ? Does it look full in photo ? Are all the accompanying spectacles correct ? The auctioneer can have an impact there too . And good clients can make use of that . That is why , say Edwin , he and his colleague spend the rest of the day maintaining contacts with growers and buyers . They often go out , have a chat , and portion experiences .
Spray rosesLast Friday , the roses reached reasonable cost . According to Edwin , the spray roses , special varieties , and pink and diffused tone sold particularly well . German agriculturist often focus on this segment . They specialize in the more single variety . They are benefitting from that . price are high and have been throughout the time of year . Currently , that is due to factor like the marriage time of year . gimmick - up is being done in that respect . The relatively mild summer has also kept supply well under control condition . The price for the more common cuts did , eventually , however , come down a petty .
