Guy in blue shirt, giving winning bidder a stink eye after loosing the battle…LOL

A big HUGE thank you to all of the Kruse Auction attendees & ESPN Bidding Wars viewers, that have sent cards, emails and pictures. I really appreciate your support…and I love receiving candid shots like this one.

Kruse International, the world’s first and largest antique, classic, and exotic collector car auction and is held annually in Auburn IN at the 480 acre Kruse Auction Park. In 2006 there were over 5,000 cars on site with buyers from all over the world! The event is very much like a sporting event with thousands of spectators in attendance!
Kruse International auction mixes food, fun, competitive bidding and a great family atmosphere.

Question: How did you feel being right in the middle of some of those heated bidding debates?

A: I wasn’t scared at all. In fact, it really got my blood pumping and built anticipation within me. I’d be thinking to myself “Wow I wonder how this one will end up, who will give in first?”

Thank you for all of the emails, cards and positive response to our hit show Bidding Wars!
I apologize for not responding sooner to all of your inquiries.
I’m going to try and address the numerous questions/comments in a series of blogs. Thank you for your patience :)

Q: How did I like working with Dean and the Kruse family?

A: Although Dean Kruse and his family are looked to as celebrities in the auction world, they were extremely down to earth individuals. They were approachable, supportive of the ESPN crew and all ‘n’ all pleasant people to work with.

Well, it’s gym day at Gold’s… I normally love going to the gym, mainly because it’s “my time” the only time I’m away from my phone, PC, PDA…etc. But this morning…it’s definitely feeling like a struggle to get ready and go. Once I’m there I feel great – it’s just getting ready and getting out the door that seems to be the battle. Maybe that is why Nike came up with that slogan – JUST DO IT…UMMMMM?
