silent auction/ConSIGNment tables
We will have a Silent Auction/Consignment table this year. You can bring items to sell on these tables during the hamfest. You'll have two sale options when you check your items in.
1. Consignment: You determine the starting price and the bid increment. At the end of the silent auction, HARC will collect a fee of 10% based on the final sale price.
2. Donation: You can donate items to HARC for the silent auction. HARC will determine the starting price and bid increment. Proceeds from the item sale will support the Hiawatha Amateur Radio Club.
On a separate note, if you're interested in having your own hamfest table, you can submit a table reservation request below.
