Jay Cash is TAA 2010 Bid Assistant Champion
Nashville, TN
When you hear the term “Ringman”, does it conjure up thoughts of a person, ringside at a boxing event. Maybe someone who manages the water bucket, ringside medical supplies or the guy who rings the bell signaling the start and end of each round.
If you are not that familiar with auctions then you may be one with this picture in mind.
The job of a Ringman at an auction is one of great importance. Not only to the auctioneer but also to the persons interested in making a purchase at the auction. This was recognized by the National Auctioneer Association and in turn by the state auctioneer’s associations making way for Ringmen across the nation to compete and display their considerable skills at a higher level.
The first ever Ringman or Bid Assistant competition was held in Nashville at the TAA Winter Meetings this past December and the winner was Jay Cash.
Jay, who is an auctioneer with Bob Parks in Murfreesboro, comes from an auction family. His dad James is a well know auctioneer in Kentucky.
A bid assistant is an essential member of the auction team. The bid assistant interacts directly with prospective buyers, answers questions concerning items for bid and auction terms, encourages bidding and informs the auctioneer of bids. Contestants were judged on their interaction with the audience and their ability to communicate bids to the auctioneer.
