WARNING: Don't go to Auburn Swap Meet

I got up this morning and headed off to Auburn Indiana for there swap meet. When I got there I was told that it had been changed to sunday. And that they were sorry that I drove over.

Well this was advertised in Panorama and Excellence. The ad reads

1st Annual PORSCHE
Midwest Porsche Swap and Auction
Saturday, July 24, & Sunday July 25
10:00 AM


This is a fruad, they changed the date and never listed it
BASTARDS.

To complain call 330-495-7313 ask for Myron Vernis or call 330-966-3600

If you drove to this you wasted your time

I can understand your dissapointment, but I think calling it fraud is going just a bit too far. The swap meet business is really down because of Ebay. Maybe that may be a part of it. Look at it as a nice day to take a ride in your 911.

The swap meet was also listed at kruse.com which I think it would have been easy enough to note the change so maybe the word could have spread . Poorly handled in my opinion .

I drove down from Flint with money to spend. We got there around 9:30 am only to find out it was changed to Sunday. Called the wifey.......going back Sunday!
I too was pretty unhappy that noone seemed to know what the he@@ was supposed to happen. Visited some of the museums and met some other Pcar guys while in town so it wasn't a total waste. What we were told was that Kruse did not have enough cars for the auction today so they pushed the swap meet to Sunday.
See ya fellas Sunday,
Wayne

I thought about making the drive up from Inday and boy I'm glad I didn't. They should have put a notice of the change on their web site.
