Missing Something Here

an amish man using a peice of modern equipment just looks weird!

I think that he is Beachy Amish, not Old Order. Or maybe Fellowship Community.

@revthom1 the beard and the shirt are not old order Amish. He is Beachy or some kind of planish Mennonite

Mr. Stoltzfus is a good auctioneer. I would love to go to one of his auctions just to hear him call.  Good video.

I like the way this guy calls. He's good at it.

Interesting...

Is this talented Amish aware that the rapid american auction style is designed to trick the buyer, manipulate them into a bidding momentum... hence the monotone rythmic chant directly soliciting involuntary call response behaviour ?

Coupled with his nodding during solicitations and Its just about one degree of manipulation short of getting someone drunk and mugging them - lol

The moral ? Never trust an Amish who uses technology to boost his voice.

@GaryChap72

No, this is an old established manner in rural america of auctioneering. Secondly you said "an Amish" - an Amish what? Amish is an adjective. An Amish man, an Amish woman, an Amish chair, etc., but you being such an expert on our people surely know this

I am ... speechless!
