New members elected NJ State Society of Auctioneers The auction method of marketing is one of the most widely used methods of marketing real and personal property throughout the world.

Numerous first-place awards for excellence Nicholls Auction Grp. attends VAA Convention

or over 50 years, the Virginia Auctioneers Association (VAA) has been recognized for leadership in the auction industry. We continue to be indebted to eight far seeing gentleman who met at the Hotel Roanoke in May 1958 and chartered the VAA whose purpose was then and continues now to be to promote and advance the auction profession. The Nicholls Auction Mar- keting Group believes it is important to continue the tradition began in 1958 and help to lead the VAA and the auction industry in the 21st century and was well repre- sented in Charlottesville. This year’s convention spot- lighted awards presentations, election of officers and direc- tors, as well as hours of semi- nars, from nationally known speakers and experts in the action industry, to enhance an auctioneer’s ability to better serve the public. F

tion Marketing Group re- ceived numerous first-place awards for excellence in mar- keting and Johan Nicholls was interviewed by local tele- vision media about the auc- tion industry and appeared in a TV broadcast about the convention. We believe active participa- tion in the Virginia Auction- eers Association is a signifi- cant factor in the success of any auction company and are proud to be a part of it. Every year, over a quarter- trillion dollars in property and assets are sold by auc- tioneers. The auction industry continues to grow, becoming a popular method for sell- ing goods and services for many industries in the United States. The auction industry is vast and diverse with auc- tioneers specializing in a va- riety of markets, such as art, antiques, automobiles, ma- chinery, real estate, personal property, and charity. ■

The auction method of mar- keting is one of the most wide- ly used methods of marketing real and personal property throughout the world. Billions of dollars of real and personal property are sold every year using this exciting method. The auction method can turn assets into cash in a cost-ef- fective and efficient manner. Choosing a professional auc- tioneer for your particular needs is an important step in this process. The State of New Jersey does not require a license to be an auctioneer. Therefore, any- one can advertise and promote themselves as auctioneers, but they may not have the appropriate knowledge, edu- cation or professional ethics that is required of an NJSSA member.

TheNJSSAis a group of like- minded auctioneers who have joined together voluntarily to hold themselves accountable to a higher level of integrity and professionalism. When choosing an auc- tioneer, always choose an NJSSA member, and ask for references.

Wes Pace is the new Vice Presi- dent; Earle Steeves is now the Secretary/treasurer. Board members are Mary Kenney, Harrie Copeland, Max Spann Jr and Steve Miranti. Joe Bodnar is now the Chairman of the Board. ■
