The weekend of February 1-2, 2019 was a busy one for Arkansas Auctioneers Association (AAA). This is when auctioneers from across Arkansas gather for the Annual AAA Winter Meeting, in Hot Springs, AR, at the Hotel Hot Springs & Spa.

While auctioneers come for continuing educational credit, the convention offers many more opportunities for both seasoned veterans of the auction profession as well as newcomers to the industry. Some say it’s the competition that attracts them. Others say it’s the entertaining nature of the business. Whatever the case, people everywhere are sold on auctions.

Graduated from Missouri Auction School when it was still conducted at the Stockyards in Kansas City in August, 1982 --- Graduated #1 out of 158 students.

When he got out of Auction School he had $1,100 – a Wife in school who was not employed, an 10-year-old son, a mortgage, a car payment, no Auction supplies or equipment, had never worked an Auction before in his life in any capacity.

-(His Son JB Jr was the 2017 Dual Champion Oklahoma State Auctioneer Association Auctioneer & Ringman)

He car-pooled with “Mr. Ed Vierheller, OK Hall of Fame and NAA Hall of Fame & Paul Wells, former Instructor at Ft. Smith Auction School and OK Hall of Fame to Oklahoma CAI meetings for 25+ years – they traveled over 27,000 miles together going to and from those meetings - What a learning experience!!!

Smith, Arkansas, an unbelievable experience!

If you ask him what his “Specialty” is he will tell you he does about everything BUT HE LOVES to orchestrate Large, Massive, Liquidation Auctions – establishing sale order, a smooth flow, and maximum dollars.

He says his biggest compliment comes before a large Auction when new bidders will say “there is no way they are going to get through all this” and one of his regular bidders will respond “evidently you have never been to one of JB’s Auctions? Hold on, you’re about to see it happen!”
