WHAT¡¯S on the AUCTION BLOCK? ?
Club member and active ham Larry Moyer, K5IMO
Has donated two amazing radios for the July auction. Yaesu FT-450D All Mode HF+50 100w with internal antenna tuner. This is a recently discontinued model from Yaesu & was $720 from DX Engineering. Starting price will be $400, which is the bottom end of e-bay, but no cost for shipping, and no sales tax (both of which eBay charges you) and you can walk away with it. Xeigu G90 20w HF 20w with internal antenna tuner This is a current model for $450 from RadioOddity. Starting price will be $250 and it includes the brackets. Either of these two great radios would make a great first HF radio for a new ham.

WHEN & WHERE Monday, July 15 at 7:00pm. First United Methodist Church of Plano 3160 East Spring Creek Parkway, Plano, TX This was a big hit last year, and we look forward to it being even bigger this year. Check your garage, closet, ham radio shelves, wherever you keep gear you haven't used in a long while. There will be three sets of tables where you can: A ¨C DONATE it to the club. The club auctions it. The proceeds benefit the club. Everything needs your call sign on it, because if no one bids, you still take it home. B ¨C KEEP ownership. Put a starting price on the item. Let the club try to auction it. If it sells, 10% of the sale price goes to the club. If it does not sell, you take it home.
C- GIVE it away free to any interested ham to take put it back into use. A box of tubes, spool of wire, antenna pieces, radio interfaces, etc. This can be snapped up at any time so come early to get a shot at all the freebees.
Everything needs your call sign on it, because of no one takes it, you still take it home.
Because we had SO much gear come in last year, 1 ¡ª We will be prioritizing what we auction ¨C which means picking and choosing, not everything may be called for auction. 2 ¡ª YOU Label ALL ITEMS with your call sign. If it doesn¡¯t sell, you take it back home with you. 3 ¡ª Ham-related gear please. 4 ¡ª Let our VP know if you have a noteworthy item you will bring to the auction so we can publicize it. That helps draw bidders.? (VP@...) 5 ¡ª Anything not auctioned or given away at the end of the night, is open to a person-to-person sale. Remember ¡ª ANY item you bring that does not sell, or freebee not taken, you must take it home. Write out an index card for each of your items, with some information about them, what it does, operational condition, how it¡¯s used, or if the transceiver has additional filters installed, etc. This saves us time, provides more information to the bidder, and can increase the winning price. THE PROCESS:
Every bidder comes in and signs a log to be assigned a bidder number / Index Card. So we can call out the winning bidder number, and keep track of won items. Every item is given or has an Item Card with the item's model number / description. The Auctioneer will use these Item Cards for any description or specifics about the item being auctioned. When won, the Auctioneer¡¯s Assistant writes the winning bidder¡¯s number and price on the Item Card. When an item is bid on and won, it is moved to a ¡°Completed¡± table. Our ¡°Runner¡± takes the Item Card to the club Treasurer for payment. Bidders can keep bidding on various items and make a single payment at the end. Payments to the klub can be made with cash or PayPal. When paid for, the Treasurer stamps Item Card(s) as sold. The stamped Item Cards must be presented to the Runner or Runner's Assistant to pick up the item from the Completed table. In order to get the deals, you need to be here in person. More details ¡ª> ?
