Rules for September Club Auction

The September program will be a club auction. We have done this several
times in the past and will follow the same rules.

Buyers: You must register and get a number to be able to bid on an item. We
will have a table set up prior to 7 PM and at the break for you to get a
number. There is no charge for your buyer�s number. To bid on an item hold
your number up and the auctioneer will recognize you by number and repeat
your bid. If you win the item we will repeat your number and the winning
price. After the auction is over we will have a table set up for you to pay
for your items. Please bring cash or if you are a club member we will accept
your personal check with your call sign on it.

Sellers: To sell an item you must register and get a lot number assigned to
each item. This is a separate number from your buyer�s number. This is a NO
RESERVE auction. This means you must be willing to sell your item for
whatever it brings on the auction floor. After the auction we will have a
table set up for you to cash out for all items sold. A 10% donation to the
PPRAA will be deducted from ALL lots. If you have an item you wish to donate
to PPRAA 100% of the selling price will go to PPRAA.

General rules for all: An auction can be chaotic at times so please pay
attention to the auctioneer. The Auctioneer settles any disputes.

--You MUST remove all items by the end of the meeting. This includes all
unsold items.

-- We won�t set any limits on how much you can bring but please be
reasonable. We will have approximately 30 min to run the auction. We have to
stop by about 8:45 in order to be out by 9:00. It can take time to add up
the numbers and get everyone cashed out. If there are a large amount of
items the Auctioneer may not be able to get everything sold.
