Dear Tom: 

Congratulations on a job well done, as I am very pleased with the results of our auction.

Not only were the revenues to my satisfaction,as you and your staff conducted the entire process in a very professional manner. The preauction marketing, which included production and distribution of flyers, trade magazine advertising and personal communication was exceptional. Also, your auction techniques, previewing process and after auction follow through were much to my satisfaction.

Thank you again for helping me sell my machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures. Please feel free to call me if you need any recommendations.

Truly yours,

C. Barry Prusin

President
