David O’Shaughnessy
Benefit and Commercial Auctioneer
A good auctioneer is nearly always worth more than his or her fee. Whether you are planning a benefit auction event, or a commercial auction, the quality of the auctioneer can make a huge difference in the level of success of the endeavor. As with hundreds of others in the past, David O’Shaughnessy may be part of your auction answer in the future.
David O’Shaughnessy (based out of Southern California) has been calling auctions professionally for over thirty years. He is a graduate of the Western College of Auctioneering in Billings, Montana, and he additionally taught as a professor of Speech Communication at a number of colleges and universities for over three decades.
O’Shaughnessy has established a reputation as a versatile bid caller, and has been one of the small number of auctioneers to truly be successful at “crossing over” to both the benefit and commercial auction worlds. His talents and skills have inspired clients to bring him as far away as Canada, England, and Belgium to employ his fast-talking and his “Leprechaun-like charm.”
If you are planning a benefit auction, O’Shaughnessy can also be engaged as your master of ceremonies, and always offers you his expert help with your silent auction, raffles, and fund-a-need/raise-a-paddle pledge drives. You (and your auction-goers) may have already seen David in “entertainment action” as a cast member on the television show “Storage Hunters.”
In the commercial auction world, O’Shaughnessy has sold homes, land, art, antiques, antiquities, wine, furniture, jewelry, Internet domains, sports collectibles, horses, livestock, estate sales, liquidation sales, foreclosure/abandoned property auctions, and more. O’Shaughnessy is very experienced with live auctions that also have simultaneous phone bidding and on-line computer bidding (with platforms such as Live Auctioneers, etc.).
