Bandy Assiter

TB ASSITER, INC.
Read Oak, Texas

twotabasco@aol.com

Growing up in an auction family, Bandy got to
see all sides of an auction company from a young
age. Working alongside his dad and uncle Bandy
learned to be a ringman in the West Texas based
family business. After realizing he wasn’t going to
make it as a pro football player, he was finishing
college and knew he had to come up with a
plan. With much coercion from his family he timidly
attended World Wide College of Auctioneering
in Mason City, Iowa in the spring of 2002. In the
months after, he fell in love with the auction industry
as he started building a career as a contract
auctioneer. Early he focused on real estate, classic
cars, benefits, and he quickly started pursuing
opportunities in the auto auction industry. His
interest in competitive contests stemmed from
growing up at auction conferences where he
watched his dad compete consistently. Bandy
himself has been a contestant in the auctioneer,
ringman, and team divisions of many different
auction competition platforms Including: International,
World Automobile, and The Texas Auctioneer
Association. Today Bandy still enjoys being a
contract auctioneer at six weekly auto auctions in
Dallas and there is no doubt he will always love the
auction industry.
