For Bidders That Need to Leave Early
AFTER the meeting starts:
- Pull out the lots you want to bid on, and put them in ONE pile.
- You MUST put your name on the lot and your bid.
- Bids for lots cataloguing under $5.00 must be at least $.50
- Bids for lost cataloguing $5.00 up must be at least $1.00.
- If 2 people want the same lot, only 1 name and bid is necessary to get in the pile.
- The lots in the pile will be auctioned off in order (i.e. 2, 7, 12, 19, 23, 32, etc.).
When the pile is finished there will be a pause. This is the time to pay the Treasurer for the lots. We will then conduct the raffle. After the break, the auction will resume in numerical order until the end.
Silent Auctions are periodically held at regular club meeting
