Code of Ethics<\/h1>\n

We, the members of the Ohio Auctioneers’ Association, realizing our profession is both competitive and cooperative and that we share with each other a common responsibility to encourage, create and maintain a high standard of professional ethics and honorable relations with each other and the public, hereby pledge ourselves to the observance of the following code of ethics.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the best interests of the public and his own profession, an auctioneer should be a loyal member and active worker for the betterment of the Ohio Auctioneers’ Association.\u00a0 He should willingly share with fellow auctioneers the lessons of his experience.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0An auctioneer should never publicly criticize a competitor; nor express an opinion of a competitor’s transaction.<\/li>\n
  3. An auctioneer should charge for his services only such fees as are fair and reasonable.<\/li>\n
  4. An auctioneer should never resort to “high pressure” tactics nor promises he does not intend to fulfill in an effort to promote or solicit an auction sale.<\/li>\n
  5. In justice to the public he serves, an auctioneer should endeavor to be informed regarding the law, proposed legislation and other essential facts or public policies affecting the auction profession.<\/li>\n
  6. An auctioneer should never knowingly solicit an auction which had previously been granted to a competitor either by written or oral agreement.<\/li>\n
  7. \u00a0It is the duty of every auctioneer to protect the public against fraud, misrepresentation, unethical practices or questionable promotional schemes in connection with the auction profession.<\/li>\n
  8. No instructions, inducements or remuneration from any client or customer relieves the auctioneer from his responsibility to strictly observe this code of ethics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
