Shipshewana Auction Inc. & Trading Place LLC. Review

Wow alot of things do to and see, great people working to

Lots of stuff here and the prices are generally alright.

Seemed like a Dollar General with a few pricey craft vendors

I don't need to buy someone else's junk. Not impressed at all with this place. Will never return.

Lots of stuff, lots of good deals. We had a great time here.

Not what I was expecting. Too many booths selling factory made crafts, and toys. I was expecting more antiques and locally made products.

You can get some good deals but there's a lot of duplication. You can also go to Hobby Lobby and match or beat there prices on deco stuff

We were vendors for the holiday, staff was accommodating, the shoppers were great.
We explored the surrounding Amish country and it was a wonderful experience all around.

What in the made in China heck? Hardly any handmade Amish vendors. Mostly whole sale or garage sale items. If you are into that then go dig through the bunches of bins and tables. If you're into authentic you probably won't find it here. We didn't.

Great walk. Many rows. Lots of different things to look at and buy

Make sure you have all day if you go. Good size place. Lots of things to see and buy.

It's ok but mostly new tee retail stuff not much as a real flea market

Good. Way. To. Spend. A. Day. Lots. To. Look. At. And. Less vendors

More market than antiques. Was expecting a lot more antique and flea market type things. But it is early commercialized.

You can find the same cheap product at a half dozen venders. Lots of cheap quality sunglasses and clothing. Its like Wish if it was a store. Fun walk around for a bit but most of the stuff there is all the same.

Nice and big .there are many choices there . But when you go to the flea market where tennis shoes cause of the stones there

So huge!!! This place has everything!!! A great place to shop

Too many cheap China made booths with items you can purchase at local dollar stores or dollar tree. Very disappointed

Friendly ppl . kind heart for the benefit they put on

Super packed today. Too bad there not open every weekend. We found a couple nice deals today.

Good variety of crafts, cheap chineese stuff and antiques.

The majority of the area is clean and friendly. Only issue I seen was the horse auction. Why cram a ton of horses in one stall when you have a ton of empty stalls? Why hit the horses going in and ring the bell to scare them when not lively enough? Why kick them when they fall? Why beat them with a stick while loading. I own horses and understand some are going to slaughter but even those with a sad ending deserve to be treated with respect! Your no camera policy proves you have something to hide. I've attended multiple horse auctions and yours was the worse treatment of animals I've seen. Stop giving horse auctions a bad name and clean up your act!

There are legit cute booths here, but you will have to wade through the standard cheep Chinese junk booths that hawk the same stuff at every street fair in NYC. Animal auction inside is interesting, as are the indoor markets.

Fun place for the family. Located in Amish country. All kinds of nick nacks to buy. Lots of Amish influences including furniture and food. Plan on spen6at least half a day if not more. Lots to see. Easy to get turned around inside the complex. A few more must do's are Yoders meat market on site as well as the Blue Gate restaurant for some home cooking. Also Amish inspired. Not on site but very close to the Shipsheawna flea market. A great day trip or if you're really into it you could make a two day trip out of it. They also offer horse and buggy rides near the restaurant. The only negative that I can say is that Shipshewana is only open on Tuesday and Wednesday which I still don't understand why they are not open on weekends.

This is my most favorite flea market that I have been to!!! U can find almost anything u need here. Its huge!!!

Disappointing. Only about 1/3 of vendors. Very few craft fair type vendors like it was years ago. Lots of China products (junk).

It's ok nothing wow but it's ok everyone is selling the same stuff.

This was a nice venue for the rabbit show that we attended.

Live going to shipshewana best place for purchasing nicknecks and great food from venders.

Mostly junk. Every vendor seems to carry the same items. Nothing unique.

Best auction in the Midwest very competitive you must know your antiques great place to go if you're a picker or reseller

Wow, there is something for everyone. We walked for 2 1/2 hours and only got a small part covered.

Don't understand the hype, same stuff repeated at numerous stands.

We enjoyed walking through the many booths. A variety of things to look at.
ALOT of walking !!!
Got some pretty cool antiques for a fare price. The food was great. It took about 4-5 hours to walk it all, but well worth the trip from southwest Michigan.

A lot of the same stuff in many of the booths but it was fun nonetheless.

Go every year..so much junk though..we did find a few things..just 1 person selling produce this year

Well this is not fun. When coming here I will not let them park me behind another car again. If I ever come again. I think my transmission went out. I m parked on a slight incline and the car won t go in reverse. I almost hit the car in front of me. I was able to stop about 2 inches away from it. I talked to the Shipshewana people an hour and a half ago. They were supposed to find the owners of the car in front of me from Grand Rapids Michigan to move their car so I could call the tow truck. So far I am still sitting here. Good thing I have a change of clothes and a blanket in the back in case they decide not to come back until tomorrow. Again, not a fun day.

I guess due to Covid-19 there wasn't as many authentic Amish stalls. Most of it was just stalls selling Trump campaign stuff. There just wasn't much Amish stuff this year.

Something fun to do. But has gotten very commercial

A lot of stuff for sell . Both new an old . Many crafts ,clothes , everything.Way too much too mention. Biggest flea market in country .

Very convenient place to stay while getting repairs done to our motor home!

This is a great day trip with the family. I love to walk around and look at all the stuff in the little shops.

This flea market has been an attraction for over 40 years. A diverse selection of vendors. Good food. The parking is a bit of a challenge to figure it out, but once you get in you're lost in the entire day with bargains and fun.

Lots of friendly vendors!!! WE bought several new items for our home. The Blue Gate Inn was grest for lunch Went very early to avoid the midday heat... No large crowds. We felt safe.

Good place to go for a few days. Lots of different items to shop for at the flea market.

I've been there a couple of times. They have a lot of different things to do and see. Purchased some unusual chimes. Also meats and cheeses.

Enjoyed as one of the Southfield's senior centers day trips.

pretty awesome!! my friend got a guitar-lele and i got this neat patchwork jacket and we saw some lemon-shakeups too!!!
