> meteorites on Friday, Feb. 8th and one for fossils on Sunday,
> Feb. 10th.
> If you would like to enter (an) item(s) in the auction, please
> send JPG(s) to me for immediate posting on the internet so I can
> promote your items. If you have a minimum, please let me know
> when sending the JPGs. Of course, items will be accepted up through
> the day of the auction, but free promotion is a good thing for all.
> The meteorite auction has been GREAT fun since its inaugural
> in 2000. The first year it was about 1/2 full. Last year it was standing
> room only and this year we will have more chairs set up.
> At the meteorite auction, you can expect to see thin sections,
> whole stones & irons, slices, partslices, impactites & shattercones.
> Each year we sell lots of items from low 2 digits (even some at single
> digits) up to several thousands of dollars each & everything in between.
> I expect the fossil auction to get off to a simmilar start - don't
> miss THE first anual fossil auction!

> (and socializing) between 6 PM and 7 PM. The bidding will start
> at 7PM sharp, so, please arrive before that time.
> For the meteorite auction, there is a 10% commission
> across the board for anyone bringing their material to the
> auction. (If you want ME to take it for you, the commission is 15%).
> There will be a 1% commission for items with a minimum bid
> which do not sell.
> Fossils commission is 15%, but only 10% for private collectors
