Peddler's Village Auction has succeeded for 27 years in doing something most other businesses find unattainable; they please the buyer as well as the seller. After a start in 1972 by Veteran Auctioneer Gerald Lambright, the business soon outgrew its facilities at Denver Street in Goshen, necessitating a move to a larger location at Peddler's Village in 1976. Leroy Graber a former employee of Gerald Lambright & Associates, took over the reins after Lambrights death in 1981. The business continued to grow and eventually outgrew the location at the Village and in 1988 Leroy Graber had a 13,000 sq ft building built on 10 acres 2 blocks west of the Village at 21849 CR 28. The building shields buyers from inclement weather, within it a large stage helps the Auction better display furniture, antiques, collectibles, and more. In addition overhead doors allow automobiles, boats, and trucks to be driven into the building where they are sold.

Another factor contributing to the businesses' continuing success can be attributed to the time the auction is held. The Auction is held every Thursday at 12:00 PM (usually with 3 rings going), instead of Saturdays, when there may be 12 to 15 other Auctions in the area. By having it on Thursdays we draw a "very large" crowd, usually registering from 400 to 700 buyers, which helps to get top dollar for the merchandise. Among the buyers who regularly attend the Auction are collectors and Dealers. Peddler's Village Auction has had the distinction of establishing the only known guarantee for items purchased at Auction, an honor that helps Peddler's rise above its competition. The guarantee is simple; If the appliance does not work, or stops working within 3 days, the buyer gets his money back, but the integrity of the Auction and its owner goes beyond the guarantee. Peddler's Village Auction was founded on honest business practices. For the owner, it's a way of life and it benefits buyers and sellers.
