Strictly speaking this isn't "storage auction reality shows" though it IS part of the on-going DRAMA of the television stars we have come to love and hate.

Read the article at the link below to see what the dynamic duo is up to in JUNE, 2013 !

So, I take it Dave is going to apply for his auctioneer's license. Do you have to have certain training/education to become an auctioneer in California?

You have to go to the Acme School of Auctioneering. Be sure to go through the correct door when you get there; don't get it confused with the Acme Safe & Anvil Company and if you see a Wiley looking coyote and a "meep, meep" roadrunner be sure to stand aside. Whether you want to look UP or not is up to you.

Maybe he has and they've edited him out.

Or not shot footage of him at all. I doubt either one of them wants anything to do with the other and I imagine A&E and the production company probably have some provisions built into a settlement that he NOT show up at auctions where filming is taking place.

Even though it's a public auction, if some kind of legal document is in force, he would be foolish to go against it.

This is according to RyanD to used to work for JohnC who is an auctioneer in central California. Ryan worked for John for 18 years before quitting in April, 2013.

In a recent one on one conversation with RyanD, Hester indicated the recent big art buy that Darrel made was the storage locker of the artist himself, that the artist was still living, that none of the art has been sold on Darrel’s website. Additionally, the store where Darrel got an appraisal was a hole-in-wall nothing of a business.

It’s a long way to $300K (or a million as Sheets is now claiming) when you haven’t sold one painting yet (as of  early May, 2013).

Not much posting going on in any of the threads here at the forum, so I decided to try HGPs html for the "click on me" link to items for sale.

I used a slightly different approach in the ahref part itself, but still the same idea. Additionally, I put something above and below the link as shown below:

...<center><font color="blue" size="3">
To see all the items I have for sale, just click on the link below. Once you get there click on the GRID VIEW button
to see a nice visual display of the items I have for sale and you can click on the ones you're interested in.
Usually there will be a half dozen items or more.</font></center>

(the ahref statement goes here)

.....<center><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="red" size="5">
Don't hesitate..call now !</font></center><p>.....

You can insert ...bracket br ... or ...<p>... statements in the larger text area to break it up the way you want. Hard to
represent it here.



Edit:  Thanks HGP...it IS a good idea to account for those Clist users who aren't necessarily lazy but just don't have
the know how to cut and paste, etc.  Just one less step. Makes it look like eBay more too.

I use Clist pics (maybe 2 or 3) and THEN put html pic links in main text to give BIG pics. HOWEVER, I think I remembe seeing something from cList that they will soon be eliminating that possibility. eBay mentions this repeatedly as something to NOT do on eBay as it makes the pics less friendly on MOBILE devices.

Maybe the novelty is doing it in the BIG city! OOHHH! They're soooo trendy, those big city folk!

And it made fodder for the AuctionsTx.xxx website. 

Hmm, would I open a pop-up shop knowing full well I'm breaking the law...hmm? Doubt it!

If questioned by some law enforcement official you could just tell them you were "maintaining the flow of traffic".
