The NJ Association of Corvair Enthusiasts' annual indoor Corvair Parts
Auction is scheduled for Saturday, February 16, 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!
Did we mention that lunch is included at no charge?
Directions appear at the end of this message. 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.
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.
The club will deduct a 10% commission on all sales. You may also donate
items for the full benefit of the club.
Again, the doors open at 9:00 AM for setup, on Saturday, February 16,
rain, snow, or shine!
