NAA Community Conversation: Benefit Auctions


Annually, National Auctioneers Week is the week leading up to the first Saturday in May – National Auctioneers Day.

National Auctioneers Association members take part in a week-long promotional campaign that highlights the auction method of marketing.

This 2020 National Auctioneers Week is April 27 – May 2, culminating with National Auctioneers Day on Saturday, May 2, 2020. The auction industry across the United States serves individuals, farmers, large and small businesses, non-profits, and other organizations, moving over $250 billion of property from sellers to buyers each year.

Auctioneers sell all kinds of real and personal property each year. Our report in 2018 outlined specifically what major asset classes comprised the auction marketplace: https://mikebrandlyauctioneer.wordpress.com/2019/09/25/the-state-of-the-united-states-auction-market-2018/.

TiWanna (TK) Kenney, BAS will facilitate this discussion in the Benefit Auctions community of practice conversation in celebration of National Auctioneers Week. The details are here:

  1. You must be a National Auctioneers Association member to participate.

  2. Date/time: April 29, 2020, 11:00 a.m. Central Time (US and Canada.)

  3. Link to the conversation: https://auctioneers.org/NAA/Content-and-Tools/National-Auctioneers-Week/register-for-benefits-auctions-conversation.

We estimate benefit auctions comprise nearly 10% (+/-) of the total auction marketplace in the United States. Benefit auctions are all about “doing something good” where sellers may not only do that, but receive a tax deduction, and buyers know their purchases make magical things happen for all kinds of good causes.
