"We're really pleased with how everything turned out and really appreciate the thoroughness, honesty, and integrity of your services."

Pollie Hauser, Dubuque Bank and Trust, following an estate auction conducted for the bank



"... thanks, once more, for the help you gave me last summer. ....I really did appreciate your assistance. You were a tremendous help."

Professor Emeritus Mary Ellen Roach Higgins


"Dear Larry:

I want to thank you for my father (and myself) ... He was very pleased with the results and I can see it has taken a lot off his mind. He wanted to also thank Dave & Al and the wonderful couple that came and moved all the stuff ... they plus you were very sensitive at a time that was very hard for my dad. You may always use us a testimony for a job above and beyond well done.

Thank you again"

Dear Larry,

My Dad was very pleased to receive such a nice check from the proceeds of the auction.

And I was very impressed with you as a person and as businessman. I really feel as if you went the extra mile in handling my parent's household items. Calling you was sheer serendipity, but I think my guardian angel must have been guiding my fingers through the yellow pages!

The box containing my father's WWII memontoes arrived as you promised. Thank you for returning this priceless gift to our family.

Happy Holidays,

/s/ Mary Carpenter


Your help and suggestions have been greatly appreciated. I would recommend you to anyone who needs auction services. Thanks again!

....As personal representative for my father's estate, I was faced with the decision of determining the best way to liquidate the contents of his house. Because of the large number of antiques and collectibles, I decided to go with an auction (versus an estate sale) to get the highest return of those items. I was also pleased that Aardvark Auctions handled the "everyday" household goods and not just the antiques as other auction companies do.

Larry has been an outstanding person to do business with. I have found him very knowlegeable regarding antiques. If he was unsure about an item he would do the appropriate research to find out more about it.

I admire Larry's professionalism and integrity. I had overlooked some personal items and Larry returned them to me promptly. what I liked best about working with Larry was his excellent communication. He constantly kept me informed of all the steps necessary for a good auction, both over the phone and in writing.

...I have found Larry Larmer and Aardvark Auctions to be conscientious and hard working. In fact, I was so pleased that my husband and contracted Larry to do an additional auction. I highly recommend him ...

On two occasions, we've called Larry to market our personal property because we were changing residences. He made the whole process a pleasure both times. Everything happened the way he said it would ñ from advertising, to the sale, to prompt payment at the end. The atmosphere he created brought us top dollar and we'd do it all again.

Dear Larry,

Thanks a bunch for your good natured approach and all the professionalism you brought to the auction process and all its' attendant preparations.

Overall, I think we did pretty well and your guidance was helpful in giving us reasonable expectations.

...

Thanks again for all your help.
