"Ken's performance was remarkable! His enthusiasm was infectious along with his optimism and good humor. We simply could not have made a better choice."- Harry Baker, Girlstown Foundation

"Ken's professionalism, sparkling sense of humor, and vast knowledge were very well received and entertaining for our audience. He contributed greatly to increasing the bidding price for our live auction items, thus helping us earn more money for our playground." - Lindsey Smither, Principal, Lakes Elementary School

"...Prominent dealers and collectors have applauded Lindsay's efforts and called him a hero. The hobby needs more honest dealers like Lindsay who have the guts to go after the scam artist who are threatening the whole segment of the hobby." Bob Wimmer, National Columnist

".....in a relatively short time you were able to pull together advertisements in key publications, send out more than 1,000 postcards to prospective bidders, create an auction video, conduct an extensive telephone campaign and generate substantial exposure on the Internet. Of course the crowning touch was the national publicity you generated with the press release ...............

"The attendance at the auction exceeded our expectations and the proceeds generated were in line with our estimates. It was particularly satisfying to see that the high value items consistently brought in as much or more than we anticipated, and that all items were liquidated. - Paul Cogley, ASA (Wychovia Bank Representative)

"Ken does a super job of presentation!"- Jerry Davie, Former Detroit Tigers pitcher

"You guys were great! I have never seen an auctioneer work the crowd so hard like you did."- Nancy Mooney, St. Joseph Parish, Howell, Michigan

"I didn't get a chance to talk with you at the end of the auction last week! We had a great time...and you did a great job! We raised $3,000 that I know we could have not done with out you! Thanks for your assistance and I bet we will see you again next year."- Kim Spinelli, Vice President, National City Bank (Brighton Chamber of Commence Luncheon)

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your part in making our first auction a great success. Many of our guests had never attended an auction and your easy and approachable manner, humor, and professionalism allowed everyone to have a comfortable and fun experience while contributing to the overall financial success of our school.

I also thought you should know how appreciative we were for your handling of our guests. As a Christian school it was a step of faith to "trust" you with a microphone in front of our parents, teachers, students, and friends of our school.

We are so thankful for the people that approached Lisa Rance (Vanna) and myself to express how much they enjoyed your skill and humor and wanted to know if you would be back again next year!
