[NoVa-Corvairs] NJ Parts Auction

[ALBERT BIRKS]

A J: The auction sounds like fun. I'd add my name to the list, however I have already scheduled to have a new mattress delivered on the 19th!  They will pick up my  old mattress set that day as well.   I purchased it a week ago, but have been on travel last week and this week, so that was the best day for the delivery.  The next available day will be 2 weeks from the 19th.

  Please see below.

  The NJ Association of Corvair Enthusiasts’ annual indoor Parts Auction is scheduled for Saturday, February 19, indoors at Ashley’s Auto Body on Hillside Avenue in Flanders, New Jersey.  All interested persons are invited to attend.

  At this event, new and used Corvair parts are sold at auction, with a 10% commission of the sale price going to the club treasury.  You may bring parts to sell, you may buy, or you may do both.

  Lunch is included at no charge!

  Directions appear below.  Here is what you need to know to fully enjoy the day:

  First, plan on making a day of it.  Due to the nature of how the auction operates, it is not possible to process any buyers or sellers until the auction is completed.  We begin the bidding at 11 AM, take a pizza break at 12:30, resume the bidding at 1 PM, and finish up typically around 2:30 PM.  Only at that time can we tally the sales, collect from the buyers, and pay the sellers.

  Second, plan on getting there early.  We’ll open the doors at 9:30 AM, to allow time to tag and display any parts you are selling, and to allow you to peruse the parts being offered.

  If you’re selling, you will need to fill out a Lot Card for each part or group of parts being sold individually, so please allow sufficient time to do this before the start of bidding.

  If you are buying – or even if you think you are not buying – you will be issued a Bidder Number by which the auction desk will track all purchases.

  We ask that items being offered be limited to Corvair parts or Corvair-related items, only.  Typically we have upwards of 200 lots to get through, so we are not able to deal with items outside of this parameter.

  Also, we ask that you not bring more than one of the same item to sell. It is difficult to sell, in an auction setting, multiples of the same thing.  You can, however, sell multiple items in a  “lot.” You could offer, say, one lot of six oil filters, instead of six individual oil filters.

  Remember that only quality items sell easily, and that greasy, rusty junk will not only not sell, our very picky auctioneers may not even try to sell it!  Bent and broken pieces have limited appeal.

  The club will deduct a 10% commission on all sales.  You may also donate items for the full benefit of the club.

  Again, the doors open at 9:30 AM for setup, on Saturday, February 19, rain, snow, or shine!

  Directions to
  Ashley’s Auto Body
  274 Hillside Avenue, Flanders, NJ

  From I-80, take Exit 27 for Rt 206 South.
  Follow Rt 206 South, to the traffic light at Main Street.  This is the third traffic light from I-80 and comes up after the entrance to the Oakwood Village apartments on the left.  Turn left onto Main Street from the left turn lane, which will give you a green arrow.  Then follow the directions below.

  From I-287/I-78 and south, take Rt 206 North.
  Follow Rt 206 North, to the traffic light at Main Street.  This is the traffic light just beyond  “The After” roadside restaurant on your right.  Turn right onto Main Street and follow the directions below:

  From Rt 206 at Main Street, follow Main Street a short distance and bear left onto North Road.  There is no street sign for North Road, so look for the sign that directs you to Route 10 - Succasunna.  Follow North Road, which will become Hillside Avenue once you cross the railroad.  Continue on Hillside Avenue to Ashley’s Auto Body on the left.  Parking is available both in the body shop lot and across the street.
