Why Auctioneers are called "Colonel".
The Romans are thought to have been the first to organize the sale of goods at auction. As early as the 1740's, auctions were widely used for selling real estate in the United States. During the Civil War, many troop battalions seized property as they marched through enemy territory, then carried the property to an area where the Colonel or commanding officer would auction the goods at public sale.
Many military Colonels continued to sell seized and surplus army goods long after the Civil War Ended. As a result, individuals who successfully complete auctioneering school are given the honorary title of "Colonel".
Make it a GREAT day!
