Frequently asked Questions About The NSRC Auction

1. What time can I get in the Heller Center? The doors will open at 7:00 and the items for sale are available immediately. 

2.  How do I know what’s for sale at 7:00PM and what is in the Auction? Most auction items will be on a separate table marked AUCTION ITEMS.

3. What can I buy at 7:00PM? Anything that is not on the Auction Item tables.

4.  What if I don’t like the price on an item on the buy it now table? The prices on the buy it now items are firm but fair. They were determined by looking at recent online and Hamfest sales, averaging and then setting the price lower than the average. Check them out on eHam, QTH.com and ebay in advance or bring your smart phone and check them out at the meeting tonight.

5. I saw Frank on American Pickers bundle several items for a discount on the pile. Can I bundle several items and get a discount? No. Reread answer #4  above. 

6.  The Dancing with the Stars vs. American Ninja Warrior Competition comes on at 8:30 and I have to be home to see this once in a life time show.  Can my friend pick up the meter or HT for me?  Although Dancing Stars vs. Ninja Warriors is a significant event in the Grand Scheme of things, the person whose name is on the ticket is the only one who can pick it up. We will keep drawing tickets till we get a winner.

7.  Is there a guarantee on any of the items or can I return anything I buy? No. Every effort has been made to accurately describe the condition of each item for sale or Auction. It is impossible to test every item in every possible circumstance. Therefore, all items are sold as is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Please choose your purchases with this in mind. If you have any questions about any item, please ask BEFORE you purchase it.
