Bailey lost the sale. Despite her induction to the National Auctioneer's Association, Bailey was not always well supported by her peers: in 1960, when a reporter inquired about women auctioneers, the Association's response was that "although a woman had tried auctioneering in Vermont, she had found it too hard and quit".

Until the mid-seventeenth century, most people in England were either slightly — or very — drunk all of the time. Most people favored watered-down ale or beer instead of London's river water. The arrival of coffee triggered a dawn of sobriety that laid the foundations for truly spectacular economic growth in the decades that followed as people thought clearly for the first time. The stock exchange, insurance industry, and auctioneering: all burst into life in 17th-century coffeehouses — in Jonathan’s, Lloyd’s, and Garraway’s — spawning the credit, security, and markets that facilitated the dramatic expansion of Britain’s network of global trade in Asia, Africa and America.

William Roberts, in his history of Christie's, claimed his "success as an auctioneer was only one degree less than his abilities as an author". William Henry Ireland (under the pseudonym 'Satiricus Sculptor, Esq.'), in his satire Chalcographimania (1814), favourably described Christie's skills as a dealer, being "the most classical of our auctioneering fraternity, having been gifted with scholastic education [...] As a vendor he ranks very fair". Despite this, he ridicules Christie for mistaking a painting of Frans Floris (under the name 'Florus') for a "chef-d'œuvre — Florentine", an anecdote he refers to as "supris[ing]" for Christie's "knowledge of several schools of painting", while hinting at his inferiority to his father.

From 1895 to 1897 the house is listed as vacant, but was apparently occupied for a short time thereafter by Fred Lawson (of Lawson and Johnson fancy goods dealers) and renamed Langley Grove.

The show has been well received in Britain, with the first episode of Storage Hunters UK being watched by over 1.1 million viewers, beating ratings for several prime time television shows broadcast that week. The Guardian Rhik Samadder described Kelly's auctioneering style "like someone has attached electrodes to a woodpecker". Tom Eames writing in Digital Spy described it as "one of the least authentic and most fake shows you will ever see, and comes under the umbrella of 'trashy reality' programmes that the US are very good at", but adding that "somehow, it is strangely addictive and enjoyable, and has clearly become a big guilty pleasure of many UK viewers."Eames, Tom (22 July 2013).

On September 13, 2001, Foothill Capital said during a court hearing that Vacation Village had failed to comply with a court order to sign an auction agreement for the sale of the property in November. Foothill Capital also said the hotel-casino failed to advance $50,000 for advertising costs to Eric Nelson Auctioneering, as well as failing to fully cooperate with the auctioneer's requests. An attorney for Vacation Village said the hotel-casino did not have money for advertising costs. However, various people related to the hotel-casino–including its owners, managing partners, and their family relatives–received what Foothill Capital referred to as "unauthorized" payments without court approval or explanation, totaling $70,000 to $80,000 per month.

Jim Norcott, a member of the hotel-casino's board of directors, said it closed as a result of failed lease negotiations between Scott and the Heers family. According to Norcott, Scott had agreed to let the Heers family lease the property on a month-to-month basis, but Scott's lawyer later told the family that Scott did not want to be involved. Norcott also claimed that Eric Nelson Auctioneering implied to the family that the hotel-casino would remain open until January 28, 2002. Scott denied Norcott's claims, saying he took possession of Vacation Village because a lease agreement could not be reached with the Heers; and because he felt the casino needed a stable gaming operator, citing the hotel- casino's recent problems.

Upon the Count's death in 1920, his widow and heirs decided to sell most of the collection, as well as to donate the palace that housed it to a religious order. For that purpose, a major auction was hastily organized in July 1921, the biggest event of the kind in the history of auctioneering in Portugal. Both the British Museum and the Louvre sent emissaries to the event, the latter having acquired a large number of porcelain pieces and most of the Count's collection of Islamic faience. The sale of Ameal's immense library in 1924 was described in a series of chronicles by Gustavo de Matos Sequeira in the periodical O Mundo, later compiled in the book No Leilão Ameal (1925).

The site incorporated an auctioneering area (72,750 sq ft), meat markets (2,400 sq ft) and egg and poultry markets (9,900 sq ft). The site also included a public restaurant, post office and several bank branch offices. By the 1950s protective restrictions on road transport by the Road Transport Regulation Board were being lightened, and more trucking of produce into and away from the markets was beginning to have effect on Wellington Street. The closing down of various freight services on the Western Australian Government Railways system as it was changed to a bulk freight operation, and its new brand and style of operation, saw the location of the markets and proximity to the central business district and the high land values as a problem.

JF Buckland arrived in Queensland in 1862 from England establishing an auctioneering partnership with Simon Fraser (Fraser & Buckland 1863-1873); later in business on his own account as an auctioneer and broker. He was an original member of the Nundah Divisional Board (created 1880/1) until 1883 when he became the first Chairman of the new Toombul Divisional Board of which he remained a member until the late 1880s when, with the creation of the new Hamilton Divisional Board, he no longer resided within the boundaries of Toombul. From 1882 to 1892 he was the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Bulimba. The first Post Office Directories (1868) record Buckland as residing at Breakfast Creek (which the area was known as).

At the 2007 Scottsdale auction, after the last authenticated Ramchargers (a former drag racing team that had been staffed by Chrysler Corporation employees) race car had been sold for $300,000, owner David Clabuesch accused the auction company of ending the auctioneering prematurely, resulting in a lower than expected sale price. After the sale, Barrett-Jackson sued Clabuesch for "outrageous and defamatory actions," including chaining the car's wheels at the auction tent and putting up a sign calling its sale "void".Car drama has Barrett-Jackson suing seller On January 10, 2008, Barrett-Jackson announced a settlement had been reached three days earlier. In the settlement, Clabuesch exonerated Barrett-Jackson of all allegations of wrongdoing in relation to a situation that occurred at the company’s Scottsdale event in January 2007.

Estimates of the number of Cambodians who died during the four years of Khmer Rouge rule have been controversial and range from less than one million to more than three million. Ben Kiernan, head of the Cambodian Genocide Project at Yale University, estimated that the Khmer Rouge were responsible for 1.5 million deaths and later raised that estimate to 1.7 million, more than 20 percent of the population. His deputy, Craig Etcheson, undertook the most complete survey of mass graves and evidence of executions in Cambodia and concluded in 1999 that the Khmer Rouge may have executed as many as 1.5 million people and as many as another 1.5 million may have died of starvation and overwork. Kiernan criticized Etcheson for "sloppiness, exaggerating a horrific death toll", and "ethnic auctioneering".

TE Bulcock was the son of seed and produce merchant and former Queensland parliamentarian, Robert Bulcock, Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Enoggera 1885-88 and Member of the Queensland Legislative Council 1894-1900.

Adelaide Punch had its origin in The Rattlesnake or Adelaide Punch, a fortnightly magazine first published by Haddrick and East on Thursday 24 January 1878. It failed after a few issues, leaving the printers Scrymgour and Sons holding a debt of around £100. Rather than writing it off, they decided to persevere with its production, and momentarily interested D. W. Melville, at one time with the Register, to act as managing editor, but he found it interfered with his lucrative auctioneering business, so they settled on J. C. F. Johnson, of the Register (later M.P. for Onkaparinga). His team included D. M. "Dan" Magill (ca.1845 – 3 April 1916), also ex-Register; William John Kennedy (1848–1894), headmaster of Mount Gambier and Hindmarsh schools, as cartoonist (also associated with Quiz magazine); and C. R. Wilton, then a promising cadet.
