NVCF Bring and Buy
The Bring and Buy stall (B&B) should be in its usual place, on the left just as you go in to the hall. It's for people with a few items to sell and all profits go to the Vintage Wireless Musuem.
The crack team of B&B helpers will be there to help you and relieve you of your cash in a good cause: Brian Pateman, Dave Moll and myself. We will be supervised by our partners where appropriate If anyone else wants to help, please send me a PM. You can use the B&B in 3 ways: 1. Sale of stuff with 10% commission to the Musuem and 90% to you 2. Donation of stuff with 100% of sale proceeeds to the Museum. 3. Make a cash donation to the Museum. We hope to have a collecting box this year We are very grateful to everyone who generously supports the Museum You can help us a lot by listing and labelling your items in advance. If it's a donation then just attach one of the labels from bring_buy_musuem2.doc You don't have to specify an amount unless you feel strongly about it. To sell on commission please complete a copy of bring_and_buy1b.doc Then attach a label to each item with the following information: 1. Space for us to allocate a serial letter so we know it's your item 1 2. Item number (to correspond with list) 3. Price Notes... 1. You must remove all your unsold items (including donations) by the end of the day. 2. Please collect any money you are owed by the end of the day. If you don't do this we will assume you want to donate it to the Museum. 3. You are free to reduce prices at any time during the day 4. We don't recommend the B&B for items priced at over £50. Most are £20 or less 5. We reserve the right to refuse any item 6. We do our best to look after your stuff but items are left for sale at your own risk |

Re: NVCF Bring and Buy
A big thank you to Dave Moll, Brian & Helen Pateman and Pam for making sense of a chaotic day on the B&B stall. A lot of hard work in a good cause. Thanks also to all those who brought, bought and donated. I haven't done the final accounts yet but I think it's a new record donation of something approaching £400 for the Museum.
A special thank you to Mark Henessey who built a splending wooden collecting box. This will be used at many future B&Bs. Alongside the B&B we were also running a sale of the estate of a late member. I think we raised over £750. |
