Welcome to the official website of the International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM) Gene Gordon—Karl Norman Ring 12.
Next Meeting:
Monday, March 2, 7pm
at Ismalia Shrine Center, 1600 Southwestern Blvd, W Seneca, NY 14224
Program: Auction
Our famous Ring 12 Auction will be held during our Monday, March 2nd meeting at the Ismalia Shrine Center, 1600 Southwestern Blvd., West Seneca, NY 14224.
Doors open at 6:30pm, and the Auction will start around 7:30pm. There will be no Teaching Table at this meeting.
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.
