RARS Auction: Tuesday, November 5th, 2002


The Annual RARS Auction is at our November meeting. It's open to everyone - 
you don't have to be a RARS member to buy or sell.

The meeting and auction will be at the Forest Hills Baptist Church, at 
Dixie Tr. and Clark in Raleigh.  Our usual meeting location in the basement 
dining hall will once again be used as a polling place.  So the meeting 
will take place in room A300.  There's an elevator to help bring items up 
to the top floor (labeled "2" on the elevator).  Directions at 
http://www.rars.org/clubmap.htm.  Talk-in on 146.64.

We'll open the doors at 6:30.  If you're selling, try to have your stuff on 
the table before 7:00 PM. If you're buying, try to look over the junque and 
ask any questions before 7:30. We can't stop the auction while you read the 
manual.

A brief club meeting starts at 7:30, followed by the auction.

Any items related to HAM radio or ancillary services (can include 
computers, testing equipment, specialized tools, manuals, etc.) can be 
brought to auction. Label it clearly with your name/call, a description of 
the item and it's condition, and any minimum bid you'll accept.

Buyers pay sellers directly. No bidder numbers, no paperwork, no "cut" for 
RARS. Seller may wish to donate 10% of the selling price to RARS (Treasurer 
will be present). RARS is a 501(c)(3) corporation, and donations are tax 
deductible.

Sellers must be prepared to make change etc. for the purchase.

Sellers may establish a reserve price - i.e. price below which item will 
not be sold if bidding does not go high enough. Seller must communicate 
reserve to auctioneer before his item is on the block. Check for 
instructions on how to do this at the event.

Sellers should be prepared to provide a written description of the item for 
sale to be read by the auctioneer.

Check for last minute instructions at the auction site.
