2009 The year that was
Conducting 48 Events, auctioning around 14,000 items, and taking roughly 52,500 bids in the last 12 months has been a great year for AJ Colman.
AJ auctioned a range of items from trucks, cars, furniture, tools, machines, and everything in between. When asked what AJ specialised in he replied:
' I specialise in being an auctioneer, no matter what the item, big or small, but my favourate events are the charity and community auctions.'
Conducting auctions for Craniofacial, Camp Quality and Cancer council SA, AJ Colman raised $115,000 for the community in 2009, AJ hopes to double that in 2010.

It was a great result for the community, raising $25,000 in the Live and silent auctions.
The money raised from this fun night helps South Australia to remain competitve as the world leaders in craniofacial surgery.

AJ Colman is honoured to be named the Messenger Community News Mortgage Choice, Golden Gavel Rising Star Auctioneer of 2009.
AJ says: "I would like to thank Mr Brett Roenfeldt for playing a huge part in my development as an auctioneer as well as the society of Auctioneers and Appraisers, especially the CEO Mr Gary Topp who has been a wonderful support.
I have attended most of the courses offered by the society and they have been very important to my success.

I would also like to thank two trainers in particular, Mr Rod Adcock and Mr Paul Henry, both highly successful LJ Hooker auctioneers. Their advice, (critiquing of my performance) and constant support have shaped me as an auctioneer.
In my career as an auctioneer, I am following the road less travelled. Whilst I have had extensive experience in General goods, automotive and large charity events,
I think the Golden Gavel awards would be a fantastic opportunity to launch my Independent Property Auctioning business. I am looking forward to servicing the Real Estate Industry with my powerful, engaging but entertaining auctioning style and achieving the best possible price on the day."
