Pilsen Packrats 30 Minute Auctions

 

,******************ATTENTION!***************

We are now offering sellers a single table option. You get 1 table for 35.00. Must be paid in advance. ALL items sell with NO protect. Your auction will last untill all your items on that table have sold or 8 minutes time has passed. The single tables will be on a first come, first served basis. The single tables will sell AFTER the 100.00 consignors.

These auctions are designed to help the small consignor sell their items with a minimal amount of cost and hassle. We are contacted almost daily from a LOT of people, who have a SMALL amount of items to sell. With this auction we are combining up to 7 consignors in 1 auction. Each consignor will be sold a space. The space will have (4) 8 foot tables or a 10 foot square space with NO tables for large items. The consignor will be responsible for delivery and setup of their own items. Setup times will be from 6 to 8 pm on the night before the auction, and from 9 am till 2 pm the day of the auction. You MUST reserve your space by 8 pm on the Wednesday before the auction.

 The concept of the 30 Minute Auction is this.

The seller pays a one time 100.00 fee. This is the ONLY expense that there is for the seller. NO sales commision. NO advertising fees, NO building rent, NO setup fees. NO other fees, period! 

What you receive for your 100.00 dollars is this. The Pilsen Packrats will auction off your items until they are all sold OR 30 minutes of time is used up. Whichever comes first. After all items are sold in that space or at the end of 30 minutes, we move on to the next consignor.
