Owners: Auction is not for sale

ROGERS — The Rogers Community Auction is not being sold to Wal-Mart or anyone else — out-of-control rumor and Internet posting to the contrary.

For confirmation, visit the company’s Web site — RogersOhio.com — where the following message is prominently displayed in bold red letters:

NO TRUTH TO SELL OUT RUMORS!!

Rogers Community Auction Inc. has not been sold to anyone and is still being operated by the Baer family.

In recent weeks, the Rogers Community Auction has been bombarded with at least 100 calls from vendors and patrons, wanting to know if scuttlebutt that the business is being sold or closing is true.

The family is grateful to the people who are considerate enough to call or ask instead of spreading false rumors. “We appreciate their loyalty and continued support,” said Beverly Baer, chairwoman of the auction’s board.
