[TVARC] Online silent auction for the estate of NV1U has begun

[k2dm at comcast.net]

TVARC Club Members,

The online silent auction for the sale of items donated by the estate of Tom
Grosvenor, NV1U is up and running.  Also included are a few items that
didn't make it into the previous online auction.  Here is how the sale will
work:

The sale will NOT be fixed-price, first-come, first-served.  There will be a
time window announced during which offers will be accepted via the TVARC
website.  The highest offer that is received before the deadline will be the
winner of the item.  Members will NOT know what other offers may have been
made, so it behooves one to submit one's best offer.  If you get antsy about
your offer, you can increase it as long as you do so before the deadline.
It is really quite simple:  we announce an item for sale, you make an offer
before the deadline, and you either win or lose.  Note that some items have
minimum prices associated with them.

Here is how to bid.  Go to www.k4vrc.com.  Check out the items up for
auction.  Make a list of the items you want to bid on.  Send that list, and
your bids for each item, in an email to:  thevillagesarc at gmail.com
<mailto:thevillagesarc at gmail.com> .  Include your name and callsign (if you
have one).  You can send follow-up emails at any time up to the deadline to
increase your bids or to bid on additional items.

A day before the auction ends, a list of the current high bids will be
posted on the club's reflector.  This will provide an opportunity for
members who may have been outbid to increase their bids, and it may even
provide more revenue for the TVARC treasury.  The deadline for this auction
is Thursday, May 6, 2021 at 5:00 PM Eastern time.

We feel that this approach gives every member the opportunity to make an
offer on an item - even snowbirds!  But you MUST be a member of TVARC in
order to participate!  All items are sold AS IS!

If you are a snowbird, and you win an item, you will either have to pay to
have it shipped to you, or you will have to make arrangements for a local
friend to pick up the item for you.

BIDDING ENDS THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2021 @ 5PM Eastern Time.

 

Have fun and happy bidding!

73,

George K2DM
