BOARD MEETING
SATURDAY, JUNE 18 AT

start time: 1 p.m.
It’s almost time again for the annual LVNS full day auction. This is one of the
most highly anticipated events on the LVNS calendar. On this day, there will
not be a regular meeting. The full time will be devoted to selling the auction
items. Most of the lots will be consignments from our members, along with
property of the LVNS. The dealer bourse area will be open as usual, but we
politely ask that the noise be kept down during the sale. Light, self-serve
refreshments and drinks will be available. The sale will be limited to a
maximum of 120 lots, with 20 lots reserved for the club. The sale will last
approximately 2 hours.
Consignments will be accepted only from members in good standing, in
order of recent consignment, with a 10 lot maximum, on a first come basis. A very reasonable listing fee
will be charged for each lot sold.
Cash or good checks accepted for payment. No credit and all lots MUST be paid for at the end of the sale.
Bidder’s cards will be issued at sign in. Non-members will have to show identification in order to
participate. We do not charge any buyer’s premiums. What you bid is what you pay.
The doors will open at 2pm and the sale will start precisely at 3pm. It is up to the bidders to come early and
inspect the lots you are interested in. ALL SALES ARE FINAL! There are NO guarantees or warranties of any
kind. The sale is open to our guests and the public.
A full catalog will be available. DEADLINE for consignments will be July 1st. We
must have the lots in our hands by July 1st. Payment to consignors will be
approximately one week from sale date or when all funds have cleared. For
more information, or to reserve your lot space, please call Joe at 702-860-6032.
Consignors will be given a signed receipt with all the terms of the sale listed.
Thank you and hope to see you there!
