In Part 2 of our auction masterclass, Dion is joined once again by elite auctioneer Luke Banitsiotis to break down the real strategies buyers can use to win at auction—without blowing their budget.

This episode is packed with practical, buyer-first tactics, including:

Why bidding early gives you the upper hand

How to take control of the auction (without being “that” bidder)

The power of odd increments and quick responses

How to appear like you’ve got more money than you do

Why not bidding at all is the biggest mistake of all

Luke also shares the biggest buyer blunders he’s seen, from bidding scripts to getting outplayed by vendor bids. If you’ve ever been blown out of the water on auction day—or talked yourself out of showing up—this is the strategy-packed pep talk you need.
