They have auctions up in Shipshewana that'd make your head spin. To them it's just old furniture. People load up trailers and drag it back to different states and sell it for 10x what they paid.

As a northern Indiana Hoosier, I can't describe in detail enough how much I hate Shipshe and the cretins that crawl all over the place to get there and to Middlebury.

I loathe everything about the Amish and that God forsaken flea market.

Buy craftsman furniture, but never buy from them. Don't believe me? Move here; live around and work with them. You'll see.

I haven't been back there in a few years but I know the flea market has turned to mostly dollar store junk but the auctions were always cool. As someone that grew up in a tourist town (Nashville) I can understand the aggravation.
