May 3, 2008 Colorado Mineral Society
Annual May Auction
at Holy Shepherd Lutheran Church, 920 Kipling, 3 blocks north of 6th
Avenue.
All sellers at our auction are requested to preregister
by phoning Leslie Osgood (303-986-4488). The auction committee limits
the amount of materials that any seller can set out at three flats,
until further notice. Set up time for dealers is roughly 10:00 A.M.
Perhaps more items can be placed on tables once our committee has determined
the amount of space we have left to fill. We will try to maximize the
number of tables with items up for bidding, but for now we estimate
32 rectangular tables and 9 round tables. We are sure you won’t
be disappointed, as ours is the largest and most diverse auction of
its kind in the state. Last year 43 different sellers successfully sold
items in the four-hour period. Dealers, completely fill out your bid
slips and try to make your opening bids reasonable, or you’ll take
home most or all of what you’re trying to sell.
Bidding will start at 11:00 A.M. Tables will be closed randomly, beginning
with three tables at 11:45 A.M.; then three tables at a time, every
15 minutes thereafter. Our small verbal auction of quality materials
will commence at
about 1:30 and our raffle will conclude at about 3:00 P.M. As always,
our club will try to reserve one table only for
children bidders, two tables of fluorescent minerals, and award a door
prize each half hour. Non-CMS members
are cordially invited to participate in our auction as buyers and/or
sellers. Anyone with questions can contact Bruce by phone at (303-237-2947).
We hope this is our best auction ever! CMS members planning to attend
our auction, please bring finger foods, door prize donations, and kid's
table items to the auction.
