Manheim Auctions tried its hand at predicting the prices of four vehicles for sale at Colchester. How accurate were the prices?
It is common practice on television to see an auctioneer test their knowledge by predicting a potential retail price on antiques, so CM decided to put the auctioneers in the used truck market under the spotlight to see how they performed.
Television auctioneering looks sophisticated with buyers sitting comfortably, holding up reference numbers, wearing tweed jackets and corduroy caps.At Colchester it might be steel-toe-capped boots and heavy jackets but it is every inch as professionaL Jeremy Martell, National HGV and plant manager at Manheim Auctions was the man under the spotlight at Colchester's sale on Monday, March 14.
He selected four lots and named his price; CM went along to see just how good he was.
