WHY AUCTION THROUGH JULIUS BUCHINSKY.

Julius Buchinsky Auctions (JBA) has been operating since 1973 and the company is known as the biggest NAME in auction game as a result of the legendary founder Julius Buchinsky. JBA still believes in the power of an auction to make people excited. They will be introducing online auctions, but we will still keep the excitement of on-site live auctions which made Julius Buchinsky a household name. He famously auctioned a yacht that had once belonged to policeman-turned-bank robber Andre Stander, the Lily Rose, which had been impounded by the police. In another remarkable sale, he managed to unload two Boeings, a passenger and cargo plane. Julius Buchinsky Auctions conducts all forms of Public Auctions for the disposal of immovable properties, properties and capital assets. All of our auctions are available to view on our auction calendar, online. If the item and price is right, raise your bid number. Continue until you’re the only (highest) bidder remaining. The auctioneer will knock down the item to the highest bidder and you’ll feel a rush of excitement. Online-Only and Private Tender Auctions In addition, Julius Buchinsky Auctions conducts sales with all bidding taking place exclusively online or by private tender. Online-only bids can be submitted throughout the duration of the bidding period, which dates will be clearly advertised. Once the bidding period is closed the highest bid at the time wins, subject to sellers acceptance. At this closing date all bids are opened and the highest bid wins, subject to sellers acceptance. After only a five-year hiatus from the industry, Julius Buchinsky, the charismatic trader who revolutionised the auction and property business in South Africa, becoming a household name to generations of Capetonian in the process, is relaunching Julius Buchinsky Auctions with co-shareholders Neale Petersen, of Real Estate Investor Magazine, and Cape Town businessman and CA Mark Canning. The shareholders will apply modern marketing and management systems to this new business, building on Mr Buchinsky’s reputation and network of clients, while also offering licences to approved agents throughout the country. While he may not be brandishing the gavel this time round, the trademark thick-rim glasses for which Mr Buchinsky became known in hundreds of newspaper advertisements still sit proudly on the bridge of his nose. In his four decades as an auctioneer, it is only natural that Mr Buchinsky would have experienced many unforgettable moments, but for the irreverent octogenarian, two stand head and shoulders above the rest. Somehow the government of the day got wind of this, and the yacht was impounded. One was a passenger plane, and the other a cargo plane. The card, which affords customers discounts at more than 200 upmarket suppliers, has also taken on a charitable aspect in recent years, with a portion of funds generated going towards the Amy Biehl Foundation. So, what of those famous glasses, which in many respects have come to define auctioneering in Cape Town?
