Lost Items … Found Friends!

Those who have attended our weekly Miscellaneous & Antique Auction know that it moves along rather quickly. And although this time of year we are down to about 8 auctioneers, the pace is still pretty lively!

Sometimes in all the excitement people lose personal items or accidentally leave their purchases behind. We try our best to get those items back to their rightful owners!

Recently, someone left behind a camera at the auction and called the same day to notify us. As it turned out, someone else had found it and turned it into the office. Not much effort was required on our part … all we did was mail it.

So we were unexpectedly and pleasantly surprised to receive a thank you note … with a gift card attached.  The gentleman was so pleased to have his camera again. He even said we confirmed his opinion that “Shipshewana Auction is the best.”

What a wonderful way to start the day!  The fact that this nice man took the time to thank us just confirms OUR opinion that “our customers are the best!”

And it just goes to show that every little part of our business is important and that you are the ones who make it successful! So thank YOU!

If you’ve never been to our Miscellaneous & Antique Auction, check it out for yourself any Wednesday year-round at 9am (or earlier if you want to preview the items). We will be having a Folk Art Auction in conjunction with our regular Wednesday auction on Feb. 6 at 11 am.  For a list of other upcoming auctions, visit: http://www.tradingplaceamerica.com/auctions.php
