Just watching the live car auction on Discovery HD. How does the auctioneer talk so fast, and how does anyone understand him?

Some gorgeous cars going under the hammer.
 
They are mesmerising to watch/hear. Best ones are the livestock auctions, totally different language.
 
Isn't that the whole point? The dealers who attend the auctions will know exactly what's going on, and the day trippers who just want to buy a single car will be intimidated so that they don't bid.

But if they don`t bid price may be lower and auction house/his business will get less £. Dunno why they talk so fast though
 
So many auction lots and so little time, or, maybe the quick patter urges the bidders to get their bids in quick.?
