Classic auction sales are still the Ontario Flower Growers biggest means of purchase. It's where OFG started. This is when a buyer sits in the gallery and stops the clock to win auction bids. 

Generations of families and businesses have been doing this since 1972.

The 'clock' is modelled after European Floral auctions - the price starts high and spins down towards a minimum price (sometimes called the Buy-Back Price). The first buyer to stop the clock wins the bid. The lots you win are labelled with your seat number and are dispersed accordingly so that when you are done purchasing you can pay for your product and leave with it immediately.

It may look intimidating to new buyers, but it's surprisingly easy to master.
