BSCC- Northeast & Mid-Atlantic Corvair Parts Auction 2010

[C. Raia]

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!  Recession-buster:  NJACE will collect a 5% 
commission on the 
sale of parts instead of the usual 10%.  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 be given 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
