Online Silent Auction
TVARC Club Members,
The club has received a number of equipment donations recently. Normally, we would have a silent auction at one of our face-to-face meetings, but these are not normal times. So, in order to avoid storing these items for some unknown number of months, the TVARC board has decided to stage an on-line sale. Here is how the sale will work:
First, 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.
There is one change for the October silent auction. 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 Monday October 26th 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 MONDAY MARCH 29th, 2021 @ 5PM Eastern Time.
