Hi John,
 
I'm prepared to help the auctioneer as well as anything else that can be done

Michelle,

How about being the auctioneer?

It really is easy. All you have to do is stand there and say "who'll
give me $20, How about $25. 30 from over there...

Really, If I could do it so could you.

What do you think?

John
