Auctions News
Herbert Wong of Dragon Painting Services (DPS) confirmed that DPS will donate some painted figures to be auctioned at the AGM to subsidise the Society's operations as in previous years. Thanks again to our life members Herbert Wong for his generosity and support to the Society and the Hong Kong Wargames Hobby.
Basic rules of the auctions
You can 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.
With best Regards,
Lawrence Ho
