Edmeades has experience of more than 35 years, participating in several marquee auction events. The 62-year old has conducted more than 2,500 auctions in his career, including an auction of Eric Clapton&#39;s 88 guitars which raised a total of $7,438,624.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Apart from this, Hugh Edmeades also auctioned of Daniel Craig&#39;s Aston Martin DB 10 from a James Bond movie - Spectre, for an amount of &pound;2,434,500 in 2016.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/ipl-2022-auction-list-of-all-players-teams\">IPL 2022 Auction Overview List Of All Players & Teams<\/a><\/p><p>&ldquo;During my 38 years as an auctioneer, I have taken plenty of two-day auctions, but admittedly, none lasting a potential 12+ hours. However, I am not at all fazed by the prospect of being on my feet for up to six hours each day. Mentally and physically, I will be splitting the sessions into &ldquo;bite-size pieces&rdquo; and taking the opportunities to regroup during the breaks in the auction,&rdquo; Edmeades was quoted as saying by InsideSport.<\/p>\r\n",
