Our most sincere thanks for the wonderful job you did for our 28th Annual “Bids for Kids” Benefit Auction at Little Friends. Brian exuded such energy and excitement through the entire 52-item auction. One of the best compliments, I believe, was something I overheard in the hallway. A couple of women were walking out of the room, and one said “that guy really knows how to work a crowd—he’s making them bid” Our figures prove it, as we averaged almost $200.00 per item more than last year.

Brian, I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful job you did as our auctioneer. We’ve never had better! I’m grateful for the energy you brought to the room, the way you bantered with the guests, and the humorous and aggressive manner in which you raised the bids. It was more successful than we expected, due in large part to your expertise. Within 15 seconds of your opening words I knew you were going to take this evening over the top. I was thrilled with the whole evening. I appreciate you sharing your time and talent with us; it was a significant gift for which I’m grateful.

On behalf of Sharing Connections, Inc., I would like to say Thank You. A single word can sum up our experience with Ward Auction & Appraisals and that is – WOW!

 

What a wonderful job you did for our charity auction. From the first time we made contact in March up until the event in August, you were extremely helpful. Thank you for always being there when I called or e-mailed and quickly responding. Your suggestions and feedback throughout the planning process certainly made a big difference in the outcome of our program.

With your assistance we raised $17,500 from our live auction and we owe it all to your experience and professionalism.  I was so pleased when a board member approached me that evening and commented, “These were best auctioneers I’ve seen and I’ve been A LOT of auctions.” Kudos to you!

We cannot thank you enough and look forward to working together again in 2010.
