Register at a live auction and bid on one lot
“The gavel makes your first bid feel irreversible, and it nearly is. But the cheapest lot is cheap for a reason, and you can afford to lose it.”
The Recipe
- Find the first general auction house holding a public sale this week (the first that fits, not the best one) and check the viewing time.
- Go an hour early, register for a bidder number, and pick the single cheapest lot in the room.
- Sit through the lots before yours so you learn the rhythm of the bidding.
- When your lot comes up, raise your number once, and stop the moment it goes past what you decided.
