46th Annual Magic AUCTION Guide:

Open for Viewing: 3:30 pm

Auction kick-off: 4:00 pm

• Free Admission for RMC Members, Youth and accompanying parents     

• $5.00 Admission for Non-Members 

What to know if you are Selling:

• Arrive early as check-in can bottle-neck. 

• Upon check-in you will be given a number. This is both your Buyer and Seller Number. You will also be given labels. Please label each of your items with your number.

• You will be assigned a table on which you may display your items (don’t forget to label!). Sellers should remain with their tables during the viewing to demonstrate items and answer questions. This will enhance sales and keep the auction from bogging down. This is also when our auctioneers and runners are able to ask questions to best sell your items. 

• The minimum starting bid on all items is $5.00. Sellers are asked to bundle lesser-valued auction items into bundles with a starting value of $5.00 or more.

• A DIRECT SALE TABLE will be available for items valued under $5.00. 

  • These items will not be auctioned and will be sold AT THE PRICE MARKED. 

  • Mark all Direct Sale Items with your Seller’s Number and Price.

  • To avoid distractions, Direct Sale Items may be purchased only before the auction starts, during auctioneer breaks, and at the end of the auction. 

  • The table will be covered and off limits when the auction begins or restarts.

• To enhance the potential value of your item or bundle, please provide the auctioneer with:

  • Seller Lot Number plainly marked on each item or bundle.

  • A Full Effect Description and Manufacturer/Author

    • A Catalog description of the effect printed out and attached to the item helps immensely!

  • Original Retail Value (If Known)

  • Minimum Acceptable Bid

What to know if you are buying:

• Buyers are STRONGLY encouraged to closely examine all items on the tables before the bidding starts! Viewing opens 30 minutes prior to Auction Kick-Off. Feel free to use this time to ask Sellers questions about items.

• Upon Check-In you will be given a unique bidder number. Arrive early to allow time to check-in before Viewing opens.
