Belhorn & Gehres teach at The Ohio Auction School
Two auctioneers from The Super Auction are teaching this week at The Ohio Auction School. Greg Belhorn is teaching a session on Auctions in the 21st Century and a session on specialty and catalog auctions. Peter Gehres is teaching sessions on auction ethics, bid calling and the auction opening. Both Gehres and Belhorn are graduates of The Ohio Auction School. The Ohio Auction School offers two weeks (over 80 hours) of instruction on the auctioneering, all aspects of the auction business and bid calling. The course fulfills the auction school requirements for a number of states including Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, and Florida among others. Michigan does not currently require attending auction school to become an auctioneer however auction school is a great way, required or not, to establish one’s self in the auction business and learn the auction method of marketing.
