 ASF President, Rev. Freddie Lee Phillips, is also the President and Founder of the Louisiana Association of Professional Auctioneers (LAPA):   

ASF is the ONLY auction firm in Louisiana to offer a "No Shill Guarantee" <SM> to protect bidders at its auctions!!

<SM> The phrases "No Shill Guarantee," "No Booster Guarantee," and "No Capper Guarantee" are all service marks registered to Auction Sells Fast by the Louisiana Secretary of State's Office.

Shill bidding (the utilization of "plants" in the bidding audience whose sole purpose is to artificially inflate the bid with no intention of buying) was a hot-button issue in the 2010 LA Legislative Session, at the 2010 Louisiana Auctioneer's Association Convention, and at the May 2010 Louisiana Auctioneer's Licensing Board meeting. In response to what ASF considers a despicable, dishonest, unethical, and fraudulent practice sometimes deployed in the auction industry, we have implemented our "No Shill Guarantee" <SM> effective July 19, 2010 to provide assurance to our bidding public that we will NEVER be tolerant of the practice!!
