Thanks for your reasoned comments. You bring up some good points. Maybe I should have made this even more clear than I perhaps did, but this really isn't about price, at least for me. It's the customer relations blindness that has me puzzled. The Ebay guys don't have a local customer base with whom relations are key to their success. Despite it all, I'll keep going back to the auction because it's great fun, great socializing, and what better way to spend a 2 degree outside day?

I can see your point there. It does seem a bit strange. I also agree that it is GREAT FUN both as a participant and as a volunteer. I really enjoy seeing people there that I may not have seen since last year's auction. And it isn't like I'm going to be at the field flying.

Hey guys,

Chad From Balsa USA here. We have called the numbers on the flyer for info on this event with no response yet. We would love to come out and have some fun with you all. We are trying to make it out there, only need to see if it will work out between us and the Club doing the event. Hopefully I will see you all in a few weeks!!! Until then, enjoy building and if anyone is brave enough to battle the winter, keep them in one piece!!!

Thank you all for attending the auction. It was a lot of fun. Just a quick note of thanks to Balsa USA for joining us along with our local vendors, Hobby Warehouse and Sky Hobby. A note to all the sellers, I completed the books and wrote the checks today. They are already at the post office. You should be getting them in the next few days.

Are people going to post items for the 2016 auction on this thread?

Fly2XS

My Feedback: (65)

I am sure some people will post here!
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the 2016 TCRC Auction in February!

foodstick

Is this a swap meet with auction? or auction exclusively?
Does it typically last a couple hours? or most of a day?
Just curious if it was worth the drive, haven't been to it before.

Love2FlyMN

I have never been to it, but from what I've heard it's probably worth the drive.
I'm excited to go this year.

Fly2XS

My Feedback: (65)

This is one of the largest auctions in the region. Last year we sold from 9:30 to 6:30 non-stop.
Look up on www.TCRCOnLine.com for more information!

My Feedback: (25)

It's well worth the day with lots of deals all day long. However I go just to heckle the auctioneers!

Fly2XS

My Feedback: (65)

I love the characters that come out and spend the day!

By the way we are making some changes to the Auction this year to make it easier and faster:

1. Credit cards will be accepted at checkout for all items purchased.
2. Silent auction for 30 items with a reserve of $150.00 or more. Same buy back fees or sale fees will apply.
3. Bargain table for items of $20.00 or $30.00, same minimum of $5.00 selling fee applies.
4. All items will be charged a fee whether sold or not.
5. Check in will start at 7:00 a.m. Viewing will be at 8:15 and auction will start at 9:00. These changes were made to hopefully shorten the timeframe of the auction.

Pull Up Now!

My Feedback: (3)

Yeah, especially that Scott guy.
