Relax and Bid

Via Instapundit, the explanation for why the auctioneers that you see at Midwest SF conventions and at Interfilk auctions work so hard at making sure that the audience is having a good time.

We make more money that way, because you're relaxed. :)

That's why the years the John Hall and I do the Charity Auction in Toronto at Polaris, we make twice as much money as the years they bring in some local Radio/TV celeb. Keep em laughing and smiling and keep them involved.
