Auctioneer Toronto Loomis
Hidden deep in the White Picket Market you can from time to time find the auction. The objects are never announced ahead of time, and the speed with which the auctioneer rattles them off leaves anyone who isn’t anticipating something specific a little bit lost. Toronto is that auctioneer. He has a keen eye for quality and a flowery description for every item. It is descriptive to the point of obfuscation.
He considers himself simply to be providing a service, separate to any nefarious past the objects that pass through his fingers might have. Not to say he hasn’t failed to hear a bid here or there.
The Auction
When important items are ready to trade hands there are often many interested buyers. These occasions call for an auction. It happens seemingly out of nowhere, the tapestries and curtains that divide space in White Picket are pulled away to create a larger open space in which buyers with auction paddles are presented with a small parade of incredible and valuable items. Some obviously stolen, others simply impossibly difficult to come by. Toronto walks up to a podium with a fine metal hammer in his hand to announce each auction and when it has been sold. A strike from his mallet ends the auction any bid that comes in after the time will not be honored. To hesitate is to see your treasure go home with someone else. There is a crew that operates the event. Bringing out items, managing the exchange of funds, and receiving the items prior to the auction itself. They keep a healthy buffer between Toronto and any direct line of knowledge of who or where these items came from or are going. Each participant is known own by their paddle and need not reveal their identity beyond that at the auction. Though to get the paddle in the first place does require the exchange of some information to assign you that number.Relationships
