Basic rules of the auctions
You can also bring items to be auctioned at the AGM. From past experience, the final selling price of stuff sold at HKSW auction is lower than that selling at eBay.

Firstly, you have to list your reserve price (minimum price)
Secondly, it is natural to sell things related to history, wargames, boardgames, fantasy, etc. as we are a Society of wargamers.
Thirdly, if you want to attract members interest, you can send me a list of your stuff with the reserve price so that I can send them to the members before AGM.
Fourthly, you can sell the stuff at listed price without going through the auction procedures on that day on a first come first serve or discretionary basis or you can have them sell at the auction. It's up to you.
Finally, you are responsible to dispose of all your unsold items. The Society will return them to you on that day if they are unsold.
I suggest you have some ten dollars and twenty dollar notes readily available as changes.

Competitions
PROPOSED COMPETITIONS TO BE HELD OR KICK OFF AT AGM, please let us know if you are interested to join

Trophies for the Competitions
The objective of the competitions is not to determine who is the best player, but for our members to get together to play friendly games with each other for fun without too many stress. As an encouragement to their participations, trophy will be given to the Winner of the competition (if there are 6 or more participants). Additional trophies to Runner-Ups may be awarded if there is a sponsor for the competition.

Members can participate in more than one competition in this year, though only one trophy will be awarded in case he wins more than one competitions. Of course, we shall indicate his achievements by choosing the right wordings to be inscribed on his trophy where applicable.
