Again, as it was in 2010
-- The club will no longer charge a commission
on items sold by auction. We will be very
happy to auction your items for you at no cost
beyond your admission fee. We will collect
the money and transfer it directly to you.
|
 | Note that buyers will be admitted to preview auction items at 6:30 p.m. so we suggest that all sellers show up between 5:30 and 5:45 p.m. to register and put out their items for the preview.
|
 | We ask that you only auction items that are ham radio-related in some way. Buyers are expecting to see ham radio-related items in the auction. Non-ham related items can be sold after the auction at the flea market.
|
 | Please complete an Item Description form for each item to be auctioned. There will be a supply of these forms at the auction, but we suggest you print out the forms (see link below) and fill them out before you arrive at the auction.
Use this form to provide information to potential buyers and to the auctioneer so that you can get the best price for your item -- a brief description of what the item is; whether it's working 100%; other items included, such as owners manual; and other significant information that may increase the value of the item.
|
 | On the Item Description form you may indicate a minimum acceptable bid or "reserve" for any auction item. While the auctioneer may initiate bidding at a price lower than your reserve, the final bid must be equal to or higher than your reserve for the item to be sold, unless you specifically agree to accept the lower price. You do not have to specify a reserve price if you would be happy to accept the best price the auctioneer can get.
|
 | When you arrive at the auction and register as a "seller", you will be given a supply of auction stickers with a number on them. This number is your unique seller number and helps identify an item's owner.
|
 | All items to be auctioned should be placed on designated tables that correspond to the sticker color. Make sure each item has a sticker and an Item Description form attached to it.
|
 | After your item is auctioned, please come up to the table next to the auctioneer's table to receive payment directly from the buyer. We suggest you bring money to make change for your buyer.
