Please spread the word...

The New Jersey Association of Corvair Enthusiasts' annual winter
indoor Corvair Parts Auction will take place on Saturday, February
7th, at Ashley's Auto Body on Hillside Avenue in Flanders, NJ. New
and used Corvair parts will be sold to the highest bidder, with the
club slicing off a percentage of the proceeds.

As always, free lunch! Pizza and soft drinks for everyone.

Doors open 9 AM for setup, bidding begins 11 AM.

Please share this information with your fellow Corvair enthusiasts. Thanks!

-----------------------------

Complete details:

All Corvair enthusiasts are welcome and invited! Any and all Corvair
items will be sold to the highest bidders. You can set a minimum
acceptable bid for your parts, or no minimum bid at all! NJACE will
collect a 10% commission on the sale of parts. You may also donate
items for the full benefit of the club. All you need to bring is
parts and/or cash, and a folding chair on which to sit.

If you're selling, the best way to go is to organize your parts at
home, so that you can quickly fill out the Lot Cards that will be
used at the auction. On the Lot Cards you will identify yourself,
the parts, and any minimum acceptable bid you wish to establish.

On the morning of the auction there will be time to set up your parts
and tag them if you have not yet done so. By organizing in advance
at home, setup will be easier. If you don't want to be bothered
tagging your parts and you just want to donate them to the club,
bring 'em and we'll handle everything for you. (Parts donations have
typically been one of our club's largest fund-raisers each year.)

What kind of parts sell well? Obviously, clean parts in good
condition, parts that are less common, and new-old-stock
parts. Greasy, broken junk has little or no value, and the auction
will prove this to you if you don't believe it. Leave the bent,
rusty, broken stuff at home.

We encourage the selling of parts in "lots." For example, sell an
instrument cluster and a glovebox door together, not as separate
items. And we discourage the selling of too many of the same
thing. For example, if you have six pairs of cylinder heads to sell,
consider offering only one pair at the auction.

Once setup is complete, the auctioneers will start picking parts and
auctioning them off. Whatever is set for an item's minimum bid is
will be the least bid accepted (and bids will be taken in even dollar
amounts as to make bookkeeping easier).

If you're buying, you will have a Bidder Number which will be used to
record your purchase whenever you're the successful bidder. You'll
receive your purchases on the spot, but you'll need to pay for them
(by cash or check, cash preferred) before leaving. For this reason
we ask that you be prepared to stay for the full auction, so that the
bookkeepers can record all the sales and tally the results without
interruption.

There will be a lunch break, and club will provide pizza and soda at
no charge. (Who said that there's no such thing as a free
lunch?) If you don't have any parts to sell come anyway -- there are
always great bargains to be had and there are always plenty of laughs.

The auction is a great way to see a lot of unusual parts and enjoy
the competitive bidding. If you're looking for something in
particular chances are good that you'll find it there.

The best part about the auction is a chance to get together with a
great bunch of people. The auction is fast paced and a lot of
fun. Directions appear below. So come out on Saturday, February 7th.
