Our History
Ross and "Happy" Persinger were the founders and 
co-owners of Happy's Antiques which they started in 1972.  Their love 
for antiques gave their son, Jim, a greater understanding for things 
from the past which helped guide him to start Happy's Auctions in 1992.  
This is a family business and the tradition is continuing on.
Happy's Auctions is presently owned and operated by  Pat Persinger
 along with her daughter and son-in-law, Eric and Laura Todd. 
 With a combined experience of over 22 years in buying and selling of antiques and collectibles we look forward to serving you. 
We are located in Eastern North Carolina seven miles south of 
Greenville, North Carolina off  Highway 11.  
Auctions are held about once a month on Saturday 
mornings.  We auction antiques and collectibles and start our auctions
 at 10am.  On-site estate auctions are held several times a year as
they become available.
