Testimonials

"Thank you for all of your hard and earnest work. I truly have enjoyed working with you and getting to know you and your family. This has truly been an amazing process. My family has been impressed with your organization and you as a person. Thanks again."

"You worked our small real estate deal, like a million dollar deal. Thanks!"
~ Bob and Bonnie C.

"We've never met, but as long time reader of old cars weekly, your reputation precedes you. I've read about all your auctions and the company for years, and wanted to complement you on the full page ad in the December 31st issue of OCW.

As a hands on car guy myself, I especially commend your extra efforts to get parts into the hands of restorers before the cars are crushed.

I am amused by reading the results of high buck, high profile auctions for cars I could never afford to own, but I can sure relate to the honest prices for the kinds of auctions you typically host."
~ Larry Claypool; Frankfort, IL, www.vairshop.com

"You did an awesome job. I really appreciate everything you and your crew did."
~ Troy Nussbaum; John Nussbaum Estate

"The sale was conducted very well, lots of buyers (good marketing!), good prices, nice selection of cars (something for everyone!).

I am very pleased with the final bid of our car. I honestly didn't expect it to sell as high as it did.  

You are a class act, Yvette! Thank you for allowing us to sell our car during the sale. I felt like it belonged there, with the rest of RCs cars. It was a good thing." 
~ Jill Edinger

"Thanks for the great job you do of representing your company and the people you sell for. I was at your Carrington, N.D. sale last year and your company came off as a first-class operation. I want to commend you on your advertising; very thorough and great coverage. Maybe one day I can make one of your sales and take home a classic." ~ Regards, Ken Drovdal, Mandan, N.D.

"Thank you Yvette for all your hard work and dedication to our Dad's estate. I really don't know what we would've done without you. You really handled it so perfectly and I know this was not easy. You should give yourself a big pat on the back for this one.

Todd and I are very happy that things have turned out the way they have. You're very professional and we will do business with you any day of the week! Let us know if you have any problems with anything. We will see you this summer I'm sure. Thanks again," ~ Dawn and Todd

“I don’t know how to explain her. She is the greatest. The best there is. I can’t say enough good about her. She is a very thoughtful person and has your interest and the public’s interests in mind. She is very good!” ~ Lloyd May, Neponet, Illinois; “The 427 Ford Man Auction 2007”

"I just wanted to let you know I felt you and your crew did a great job handling the Lerum auction on May 30. Very professional auctioneers who handled every issue fairly."  ~ John

""Sell them Good!" said Toppy and Vanderbrink Auctions delivered; that is the cars and all the police memorabilia in Nevada, Missouri last October 31, 2008. This private collection of cars, 60 in all, was a 50 year passion for cars by one 96 year old retired pharmacist. It took over seven months to get them cleaned up and running, (all but one) and they all sold in less than three hours. It was an amazing sight! Yvette and her family came to give it all they had and, "Sold them Very Good". So good that she is in charge of our next big auction this October. We never even considered any other auctioneer, Yvette has exceptional skills, insight and energy, and with the personal touch that means so much; after all it took Toppy 50 years to collect the masterpieces; Yvette Vanderbrink handled the project with the pride "Toppy" deserved."  ~ Toppy Clark & Son

"I enjoy your auctions, although they cost me alot of money, but you find stuff that we would never find. You do a very good job finding the stuff, preparing it and selling it. Keep up the good work. God isn't finished with you yet and i thank him for that." ~ Ron from Wisconsin

"I recently attended the Forrest "Toppy" Clark auction in Nevada, MO, and just wanted to send you a short note letting you know how much I enjoyed it. Aside from having gone to the Barrett-Jackson spectacle in Scottsdale this past January, this was my first "real" car auction. I had a great time. I drove all the way from Chicago and I'd do it again.

I signed up for your email list today and look forward to getting to another one of your auctions soon. Who knows, I may even buy something next time. (I will have to clean out the garage first!)" ~ Roland Filippi 

"Yvette is a class act. I bought a car from one of her auctions in WI and it was class A. A real tribute to professional auctioneers!!" ~ Roadrunner3834Speed, Buyer at the Wisc. Auction, 2006

"Hello! We just read the results of this auction and got such a kick out of the story. We are the "older honeymooners" who bought the 1967 GTO and drove it home! We noticed that you wondered if we made it, and we can say that it drove like a dream and it is now sheltered in our garage in Forest City, Iowa. This 67 also joins a sister GTO we already own, a 1969 GTO Convertible that was just recently completely restored. "

"We would also like to say that this was one of the very best run auctions we have ever been to. We enjoyed it very much, and, of course, it was a lot more fun because we bought such a beautiful car. Our thanks goes out to John Bramwell for doing such outstanding work. So thanks for giving us a chuckly today. We will definitely watch your webpage for future auctions. " ~Bob & Kathy Olson, Forest City, IA

"I believe that everyone involved, including myself, was amazed to see you not only reach your appraisal value but surpass it. " ~ Samuel P. Weiler, lawyer for the estate of Charlie & Lois Bowman Read Article...

"In the not-too-distant past, car auctions were a good barometer of a car's value. And in some cases, that's still true." ~Gino DiPol, Publisher The DeLuxe Road Read Article...
