Auctioneer Pete Richardson Brings Fun to Lower Shore Sales
WILLARDS AP Pete Richardson known as The Auctioneer on the Lower Shore runs multimillion dollar sales from his U S 50 office. The 45 year old keeps auctions lively with humor and a show style while enforcing order and aiming for a good time with bidders. He recalls selling a woman's grandmother's ashes by mistake and says coins and baseball cards are the dullest items to auction. He buys one old Hummel yearly for his daughter and avoids extra furniture or glassware at home without his wife's OK.
