I had the pleasure and privilege to attend the Southeastern School of Auctioneering May session of2011. Before I attended, I thought I understood the auction industry and honestly had concerns about the tuition fee. After graduating, I had gained the knowledge to pass the state exam which I expected to have. What I had not expected but did gain was a clear prospective about the auction industry. During my week of study, I found EVERY instructor to have a true passion for auctioneering and knowledge that I hope I gather over my career. My classmates were motivated and very professional, and we learned many life lessons from each other. I consider all instructors and classmates my personal friends now. To me the time and money invested into the Southeastern School of Auctioneering are PRICELESS and are minuscule compared to the rewards and success I will receive in my future career. Thank you Larry and all who set me free from my bondage as a production worker (mindless robot).
