Our famous Ring 12 Auction will be held during our Monday, February 3rd meeting at The Screening Room. Doors open at 6:30pm, Teaching Table with Mike Kugel at 7pm, and Auction start at 7:30pm.

 
The procedures for the auction are as follows:
– There will be no reserve pricing.  Items will sell to the highest bidder.
– 10% of the sale price for items sold will be collected by Ring 12 unless the items sold are purchased by the seller. The 10% will be paid for by the BUYER. So if a buyer bids $10 on an item, we will collect $11 from the BUYER at the end of the auction. This 10% fee is used to help offset the cost of the room rental.
– This is an open auction, so interested family members and friends may attend.
– Selling order is determined by a random draw of cards! Ace (1) through King (13).
– Selling will be done in rounds, 5 minutes per seller. Once all the sellers have gone through Round 1, Round 2 will commence with any items that were not previously sold. Rounds will continue until either all the items have sold or the Ring has reached its contracted time with The Screening Room.
– For Sellers, all new or gently used magic items are eligible to be sold during the auction. On the day of the auction, the seller is respectfully requested to provide a list of the items with basic descriptions to the auctioneers. Please also plan to arrive at 6:30pm to arrange items you wish to sell. If you can provide a list of items to be auctioned to Tony Weiland (tonysmagic@aol.com), we would appreciate it.
– For Buyers, items can be purchased with cash or credit card. Credit card purchases are subject to a 3% credit card processing fee.
