Eclipse Book Auction

One of Brian Fraser's Eclipse tourists has donated 14 special, out-of-print and never to be reprinted, Eclipse books to the Society and your committee has decided to allow members to submit bids to purchase these rare items.

These books are commercially worth between R120 and R150 depending on the Rand/Dollar exchange rate but it could be argued that they are worth more as they will no longer be available in bookshops.

If you are interested in purchasing one of these books, please submit your bid, by post or by hand to a committee member in a sealed envelope and these will be collected to be opened at the June monthly meeting.  Cut-off time for the arrival of bids is 20:00 on the evening of 13th June 2001.  ( Best not to trust the postal service! )

The envelopes will be opened during the meeting, and ranked according to the bids presented.  The lucky purchasers will be advised ( by phone if not at the meeting ) and will then have to make payment to the Jo'burg Centre's within 3 days.   If this is NOT done, the person will  forfeit their right to purchase which will then be allocated to the next person on the list.

Please supply your name and contact details on your bid, as well as the price that you are willing to pay for the book.  Please do not send cash with your bid.

For further details contact a committee member as per the table hereunder.
