Customer Testimonials 

Reynolds & Buckley approaches every auction with the same energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to success. We know that as auctioneers we can make a difference in the overall success of every auction we touch, and we dedicate ourselves to making the most of every lot we sell.

Our commitment to your event begins long before we take the stage, and is evident long after. The preparation we put into every event is reflected in the raised paddles of your audience, and the raised revenue of your event.

We believe that we make a difference for every auction event we work with, and our clients do too. Following are a sampling of comments from our clients, for both David Reynolds, Greg Quiroga and Ed Gold.

In Praise of David Reynolds

"He is a one-man orchestra of auctioneering, able to separate audiences from their currency with the subtlety of a Spanish galleon in full rig and the passion of Billy Graham in full flight."

Jeremy Oliver

"David brings intelligence, insight, and extraordinary enthusiasm to the wine auction arena as well as a true understanding of how to be most economically efficient so that the charity might reach its ultimate goal."

Dick Grace

"He turns the auction tent into a revival meeting with his evangelical zeal. It is an amazing performance…He is my dream auctioneer."

Anthony Dias Blue

"I was so impressed with the expertise and energy that he brought to the proceedings, which by the way were very successful, in large part due to David’s substantive role."

In Praise of Ed Gold

"Ed really is worth his weight in gold. He educated and inspired the auction team for months leading up the event and then hit it out of the ballpark on the night. The excitement and support for our cause was overwhelming. Patrons bid and had a ball and our donating artists and supporters felt valued and respected. We couldn't have asked for better auctioneer."
