[K3CAL] RE :Virtual Hamfest

[Dave]

Thanks, Tom, for the suggestion of a pre-sale description.  This could be posted on the webpage and would generate a few more webpage views also.  We could also give a time limit for each sale.  Say 15 minutes tops before we move to the next item.  And keeping notes of the right things and the wrong things to do on a sale will make future sales better.
73, DaveKB3RAN

 It is good to see that CARA is still active and overcoming the new challenges.  (Still miss all of you.)
 
 I like the idea of trying a virtual hamfest.  I would suggest keep running notes on what worked, what did not work and what could be done better.  It is my belief that this type of interaction is going to be more common, examples of what worked (and what did not work) will be of value to the ham world going forward.
 
 I would add one suggestion. Before the event, get an inventory of what is going to be sold.  I would include a description, one or more pictures, and any other information that the buyer should know.  (This should cut down on the time that is spent on answering questions that could be addressed before the auction.
 
 Otherwise, good luck and please stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning Everyone,  
  This is a Reminder That CARA Inc. Will be trying their hand at a Virtual Hamfest on November the 7th From 12 pm until 4 pm. or unless all items are previewed before cut off time.  
  The following are the rules of Event.  
  This will be a round Robin event . 
  Host will do the Calling up of the next item/ person for bid. It's strongly urged to use the raise hand if you would like the item or to know more about it.  
  Host will try to keep a note of progress throughout the event to see if this is a good venue to do more.  
  All participants will be asked to mute their mikes and if you have a question please raise your hand, hopefully this keeps confusion down as some have different views on their screens and this will keep the person selling item in the forefront.  
   You offer Item up for sale , if you can preview it with your camera great, you will need to turn off virtual /green screen to do this.  
  Once we go around we will go around again until all items have been offered up  or time runs out on clock. .  
  I would ask that if you have items to sell that you contact me at n3xmz.md at gmail.com   
  If you can think of anything else  lemme know..
