HCRA Annual Auction - Feeding Hills, MA - November 3rd

One of the Northeast's largest ham radio auctions is just around the corner.
Mark November 3rd on your calendar now for the HCRA Annual Auction.
Admission is FREE for both sellers & buyers!

The Hampden County Radio Assn. has been holding this auction for many years
and it is consistently well attended. It's the perfect place for either
buying or selling. Attendance is usually around the 100 mark, very closely a
50/50 split between buyers and sellers.

For sellers it offers a great way to unload some of that less desirable
(i.e. non-eBay) gear quickly and easily. For buyers a fantastic opportunity
to get some great bargains on both old and new gear, outfit the workshop or
get some much needed parts at super prices.

Also, why not purchase a raffle ticket for an Icom IC-718DSP HF radio. For
as little as a $1 donation (book of 6 for $5) you could be the lucky winner!

The details:

Date: November 3, 2006
Time: Set-up at 6:30 PM, auction starts at 7:30
Place: Feeding Hills Congregational Church
21 N. Westfield Street
Feeding Hills, MA 01030

The fine print:

If you are selling, please mark all items with your name, call (if any) and
a minimum bid (if you so desire). The HCRA takes 10% of the sale, up to a
maximum of $10, as a club donation. Please limit items to amateur radio or
electronic equipment. If you have a lot of 'little' stuff it usually sells
better as a 'combination' box. The auctioneers reserve the right to combine
auction items to speed up the auction. If it doesn't sell you take it home!

Please, no computer monitors. Our experience is they don't sell and you end
up taking them back with you.

Refreshments will be available, including coffee, soda and donuts - a ham
radio treat!

Any questions, please give me a call.

'73... and see you at the auction!
