Neuw jeans painted by Dan Vient The Art of Denim is an ever growing concept that grew out of our Piping Down The Valleys Wild denim shoot with Damien Nikora in the latest issue of Black Magazine. For that shoot we partnered up with Neuw, Lee and Wrangler to provide denim that we could paint, customise, deconstruct and reconstruct with a selection of local artist and designers. A week ago we launched the concept at Service Newmarket and have added a few new Wrangler pieces this week that have been given a treatment by designer Lela Jacobs and artists Clara Chon and Alexander Mark Hoyles. We now have all of the pieces up on an auction on Trade Me which will be live for the next seven days, with all proceeds going to Mental Health New Zealand. Here is the link to the Trade Me auction. The auction closes late next Monday, March 11. A huge thanks to everyone involved but in particular the designers and artists: Lela Jacobs, Zora Bell Boyd, Jessica Grubisa, Blair Hetet, Rachael Churchward, Nina van Lier, Dan Vient, Erin Forsyth, Anna Hanson, Eric Nauta, Clara Chon and Alexander Mark Hoyles.

(Note: try not to get escorted from an auction in police custody, like Roger Thornhill) I could have entitled this post ‘Everything You Wanted to Know about Auctions, But Were too Afraid to Raise Your Hand and Ask Because You Were Scared You Might Actually Bid on Something You Didn't Want” because, really, isn't that everyone’s fear with auctions? Today, I thought it would be fun to share tips for a successful, stress-free auction experience and I’m not talking Ebay auctions; I mean the bidding-in-person-with-a-numbered-paddle-kind of auction. Since I was a child, I've been attending auctions and during that time I've gleaned a lot of knowledge that’s worth sharing, especially for those who want a good deal on antiques or first access to pieces without paying the retail markup. And remember, auctions aren't meant just for millionaires. We've all heard of Sotheby's or Christie's, but auctions can be a great venue for finding affordable treasures; after all, at auctions, the bidders name the price. I've walked away with furniture for $20, $10 and even $5! With that, let’s get into it. Finding Auctions in Your Area We can’t talk about auctions before mentioning where you can find listings upcoming auctions in your area. A good place to start is with AuctionZip.com, where you can search auction companies within a specified state or a certain distance from your ZIP code. When all else fails, I've regularly found postings for auctions on Craigslist and in the newspaper, too. The Preview, or How to Know What Crap You’re Going to Get in a Bidding War Over Later The first useful piece of information to know is that the auction house running the sale holds a “preview” to show off the goods that will be up for bid, typically a few hours or a day in advance of the sale. At that time, you’ll find that every item or lot (we’ll talk about lots shortly) is numbered; when you see something you want to bid on later, write that number down and determine how much you’d be willing to pay for it. Later, the auctioneer will identify each item to the crowd with this item number once it is up for bid. The preview allows you to inspect everything in advance so you know what you’re getting. Remember, all sales are final at auctions. Auctioneers may also be available during the preview in case you have specific questions about value or potential prices of an item. I can’t encourage you enough to attend the preview! How else would you know what you’re bidding on? Before You Go Crazy Bidding: Registering and Sales Terms If you see things worth bidding on, you’ll need to register to participate in the auction if this is your first time attending. Registration is free. You’ll need to provide your driver’s license to the auction office where you will be entered into their system for future auctions. At that point, you’ll be given a bidder’s number to use during the auction. Once registered, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the sales terms, which vary from auction house to auction house. Profits for the auction company come, in part, from a “buyer’s premium” fee, which is a percentage added onto the final bid price. I’ve seen buyer’s premiums range from 15% - 18%, so keep this additional cost in mind when you’re bidding! Most auction houses accept credit cards, checks (if you’ve been to that auction before) or cash, where they may offer a slight discount. And, don’t forget, you will also have to pay taxes on any items purchased. Lots and Lots of Lots Similar, smaller items are often put together for sale in what’s called a “lot”. Grouping these items makes for an efficient sale for the auction company. During the preview, you’ll see lots of dishes, tchotchkes, or silverware displayed together in boxes (usually called “boxed lots”). Since you can closely examine everything during the preview, dig into these boxes and see what’s in each. Who knows, you may find a diamond in the rough! Here's another good idea with lots: if you were outbid on a lot containing one or two things you'd like (rather than the entire lot), it's not unreasonable to approach the winning bidder with an offer for the items you wanted. Remember, be polite and respectful with your offer and you may walk away with something you had your eye on! This is a tactic I've seen work many times, so it's always worth a shot. In Absentia: Reserves and Bids Sometimes, an item up for sale at an auction that has a price set by the seller or auction house, called a “reserve”. If bidding does not meet the set price, the item is not sold. The auctioneer will let the crowd know if the item has a reserve at the start of the bidding. You may also encounter bids left from people who aren't actually in attendance at the auction. Oftentimes bids will be left from those who attended the preview but couldn't make the auction or from those who phoned their bids in. What You've Come For: Let’s Get Down to Bidding! You've previewed the items, you've registered, and you've studied the sales terms; now you’re ready to bid, right? Above all else, it’s important to remember to keep your cool. Resist the urge to over-bid! Stick to the price you set for yourself during the preview, unless it’s a piece you absolutely can’t live without. Before the auction starts, get yourself a good seat. Get comfortable. Often, auctions can last for several hours. While you’re waiting for the items you want to come up for bidding, enjoy people-watching. People-watching at auctions is the best. It’s always interesting to figure out who in the crowd is a dealer or who is just a hoarder! When something you want comes up for bidding, have your bidder’s number in hand and be prepared to bid. Auctioneers may start at a high price, for example $100, but without any immediate bids will lower the price to, say, $10. Wait until the auctioneer lowers the price, then bid. Auctioneers will nod or point to you to acknowledge your bid. He/she will speak very fast, so listen closely! To bid, there’s no need to flail your bidder’s number wildly. Be calm, cool and composed. If you’re the highest bidder, the auctioneer will reiterate your bidder’s number and you will be recorded as the winner on the item’s tag. The auction’s office will keep tally of all the items you won and will have the associated costs ready when you are ready to pay. While you’re watching the events of the auction, you may notice that not every item is bid on. When an item fails to sell, an auction house will just incorporate into their next sale--perhaps next time the right person will attend the auction and take it home! Finally, at the end of the auction you will usually be asked to take all of your purchases with you, but if you need to make special transportation arrangements you can speak with one of the auction’s office employees. And Now You Know... And there you have it, my tips for a successful auction experience! Hopefully, I've eased your irrational fear of scratching your nose at an auction and accidentally winding up the highest bidder on an expensive piece! Did I answer all of your questions about the auction process? If not, what else would you like to know? Do think you'll attend auctions now that you have more info about the experience?
