The New Jersey Association of Corvair Enthusiasts’ annual indoor Corvair Parts Auction is scheduled for Saturday, February 15, at Ashley's Auto Body on Hillside Avenue in Flanders, New Jersey.  All interested persons are invited to attend.  There is no admission charge and lunch is included!

At this event, new and used Corvair parts and accessories are sold at auction, with a 10% commission of the sale price going to the club treasury.  You may bring parts to sell, you may buy, or you may do both!

Doors open at 9:00 for set-up, bidding begins at 10:30 AM

Did we mention that lunch is included at no charge?

Directions appear below.  Here is what you need to know to fully enjoy the day:

First, plan on making a day of it.  Due to the nature of how the auction operates, it is not possible to process any buyers or sellers until the auction is completed.  Doors open at 9:00 for set-up, we begin the bidding at 10:30 AM, take a pizza break at 12:30, resume the bidding at 1:00 PM, and finish up typically around 2:30 PM.  Only at that time can we tally the sales, collect from the buyers, and pay the sellers.

Second, plan on getting there early.  We'll open the doors at 9:00 AM, to allow time to tag and display any parts you are selling, and to allow you to peruse the parts being offered.

If you're selling, you will need to fill out a Lot Card for each part or group of parts being sold individually, so please allow sufficient time to do this before the start of bidding.  Want to get a head start?  We can send you a PDF file of the Lot Card so that you can print your own and fill them out in advance.  Send an off-list message to me to receive the Lot Card file.

If you are buying – or even if you think you are not buying – you will be issued a Bidder Number by which the auction desk will track all purchases.

We ask that items being offered be limited to Corvair parts or Corvair-related items, only.  Typically we have upwards of 200 lots to get through, so we are not able to deal with items outside of this parameter.

Also, we ask that you not bring more than one of the same item to sell. It is difficult to sell, in an auction setting, multiples of the same thing.  You can, however, sell multiple items in a  "lot." You could offer, say, one lot of six oil filters, instead of six individual oil filters.

Remember that only quality items sell easily, and that greasy, rusty junk will not only not sell, our very picky auctioneers may not even try to sell it!  Bent and broken pieces have limited appeal.  Also, we usually have more than enough hubcaps and wheelcovers.

The club will deduct a 10% commission on all sales.  You may specify a “reserve” price (the minimum bid that you are willing to accept), you may specify no reserve, or you may donate items for the full benefit of the club.

Again, the doors open at 9:00 AM for setup, on Saturday, February 15, rain, snow, or shine!

Directions
to Ashley's Auto Body
274 Hillside Avenue, Flanders, NJ

==>  From I-80, take Exit 27 for Rt 206 South.
Follow Rt 206 South, to the traffic light at Main Street.  This is the third traffic light from I-80 and comes up after the entrance to the Oakwood Village apartments on the left.  Turn left onto Main Street from the left turn lane, which will give you a green arrow.  Then follow the directions below.

==>  From I-287/I-78 and south, take Rt 206 North.  Follow Rt 206 North, to the traffic light at Main Street.  This is the traffic light just beyond  "The After" roadside restaurant on your right.  Turn right onto Main Street and follow the directions below:

==>  From Rt 206 at Main Street, follow Main Street a short distance and bear left onto North Road.  There is no street sign for North Road, so look for the sign that directs you to Route 10 - Succasunna.  Follow North Road, which will become Hillside Avenue once you cross the railroad.  Continue on Hillside Avenue to Ashley's Auto Body on the left.

Parking is available both in the body shop lot and directly across the street.
