As many of you know, from attending meetings, we frequently have donated items to auction off. We haven’t been having meetings, but the items are still coming in, thanks in large part to our Donations Coordinator, Mark Stenson. Mark is running out of storage space, so we’re going to try having silent auctions out of our U-Haul Trailer.
Auction Format
Each auction will be announced via a club‐wide email with the designated starting date/time and ending date/time. Each auction will last over a period of 10 days. Each auction will begin on a designated Wednesday and will end 10 days later on the designated Saturday at 12 pm. We will be having several of these auctions.
Silent Auction #2 will begin at 12 pm, Wednesday, 9/2/2020. The Auction will run for 10 days, ending at 12 pm, Saturday 9/12/2020.
TWO WAYS TO VIEW ITEMS FOR AUCTION
1. Items will be posted with pictures and a short text description on the classifieds during the entire 10 day bidding/auction period. All Auction items are listed as: Club Auction Item.
2. The item itself will be available to see, evaluate, and “kick the tires” as it is displayed in the U‐Haul shed on the eastside of the east field canopy. (Right next to the Sani‐Can).
NOTE: THERE IS NO BIDDING VIA THE WEBSITE, BIDDING CAN ONLY BE DONE IN PERSON at the field (see below).
Instructions for Bidding
ALL BIDS MUST BE SUBMITTED AT THE FIELD via the bid sheet on the item.
Each item will have a bid sheet with a brief description, an established STARTING BID, and a BIDDING MINIMUM INCREASE AMOUNT. The bid sheet will require your name, email address, phone contact, and your bid amount. To bid, remove the bid sheet for the item from the plastic cover and enter your information. Replace the bid sheet back in the plastic cover. Please be sure the bid sheet remains attached to the item.
HOW TO PAY (if you win)
Each auction will end on the designated Saturday, at 12 pm. All items must be picked up and paid for NO LATER than 2 pm. Items cannot be stored. A designated person will be near the U-Haul shed to accept your payment. We can only accept CHECK or CASH in the EXACT amount. Checks should be made out to: Arvada Associated Modelers.
OTHER ITEMS AND ACCESSORIES FOR SALE
In addition to the items that will be sold through the bidding process, there will also be other items for immediate sale. These items are RC airplane and building accessories. The items are available for sale/payment anytime during the 10 day auction, no bidding required. To purchase, deposit the amount indicated on the price tag in the “Donations” receptacle in the U-Haul shed. This can be done anytime during the 10 day auction. Again, no bidding required. You will need EXACT CASH amount or CHECK made out to: Arvada Associated Modelers.
PLEASE ONLY 1 PERSON IN THE SHED AT A TIME!
