CHarity auctioneer
From the Oval Cricket Ground to the village school, David Selves has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for charities large and small. His quick wit and cheeky humour can up a bid in the blink of an eyelid. He even managed to ride a bike, which he sold, into the audience at The Roof Garden Restaurant in Kensington for a kid’s charity and almost got Ledley King to wear an Arsenal shirt when selling it for over £1000 at an auction at Macquarie Bank for Leadership Through Sport.

Our auctioneer from Variety, David Selves, left no stone unturned in his quest to extract more money from the assembled audience and the auction raised over £4000 from 6 lots, all of which will be directed towards Variety.
