The meeting will be dominated by the auction, however, we will also take nominations for next year's club officers, IPMS Ft Crook member of the year 2026 and model contests for 2027.
If you have attended one of our previous auctions before, then you know how it works, nothing has changed. For those that have never participated before, here are the rules for Auction Club.....
* First rule, you DO talk about auction, in fact talk about auction a LOT. Spread the word across the land. Use it in informal conversations, formal conversations, in whispers, as sweet talk, scream it, use it online, magazines, newspapers, the news....... never stop talking about auction, except after the auction, then shut up about auction.
* Second rule, bring cash in US Dollars or checks..... plenty of cash. We do not accept credit or debt cards, empty b**r cans, bottle caps, crypto currency, unwanted autos, Euros, British Pounds Sterling, Mexican Pesos (or any other Pesos, Pounds, Dinars, etc), Monopoly money, questionable pirate treasure maps or unwanted family members.
* What to bring for auction, and bids.....
Each individual can bring up to 5 lots for auction. A lot can consist of 1 item up to multiple items. All items have to be modeling related, including model kits, decals, aftermarket items such as resin & photo etch, building tools & supplies , paint & other weathering and finishing products and books. Those lots will be marked with the person's name and opening bid. A tip, start with a very low bid, kits asking for high bids don't auction well.
Bids will begin with the bid listed on the lot. After that, bids will go up by $.50 up to $10. After $10, bids will go up to $1 until the auction is called.
All auction bills are to be paid to the club immediately after the auction.
The club will get a 10% kickback from all auctions.
Anyway, that's the gest of it. If you have any other question, present them at the beginning of the meeting before auction start.
Hope to see you there!
* Note - all kits and modeling supplies involved in the auction are kits in need of good homes. Please support this program with a one time donation made at the end of auction for the amount that was agreed to as for payment *
