Ok, here is the first update for the town Senior Auction. I have
just realized that I messed up the URLs in my announcement. Put a
question mark before the word query, that will get you there. Sorry.
A couple of things: All of these sets have the original instuctions and
none of these sets have boxes. Obviously the set are used. I am
including a copy of the rules with this update.
Thanks, Pat.
email: tinney@portal.ca to bid.

Auction Instructions and Rules
------------------------------
This auction is sponsored by Derek and Pat Tinney and Robin Sather of
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
E-mail all bids and questions to: tinney@portal.ca
Please include the phraze 'TownSenior' in the subject line of any emails.
If bidding, include the set number(s), and your bid in US dollars.
1) This is an Open, Once, Twice, Sold auction. There will be an
open bidding period at the start of the auction. After that
approximately one weekday of inactivity on a lot will advance
it from one stage to the next. I will hold the auction status
over the weekends. For example the last update of the week will
be Friday evening, bids may come in on Sat or Sun and, if
applicable, lots will move back to open, but there will be no
lots advanced to the next stage. I will then put out an
'Informational' update Sunday evening, once again bids will
advance Monday morning. All this, of course, is when advancing
has started.
2) All bids, payments, dollar values are in US dollars. Minimum
bid increments are as follows:
$1 for items/bids up to and including $50
$2 for items/bids over $50
Withdrawal of bids is strongly discouraged, but will be dealt
with on a case by case basis.
3) Participants will receive daily updates at the least. An update
will also be posted to rec.toys.lego and Lugnet every Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday. All bidders will automatically be included
in the participant list. All others can be added to the list by
emailing Pat Tinney: tinney@portal.ca
4) We are entertaining no trade offers at this time.
5) As lots become sold, we will email the winner with total
payment required. We will then email when payment has been
received, and is waiting for clearance. Finally, we will
email when the package has been shipped.
6) Payment can be made in the form of US or International money
order, bank draft, cashier's cheque, wire transfer, or personal
cheque. Full payment must be received before your sets will be
shipped. We will ship within 1 week of your payment clearing.
It can take up to 30 days for US dollar personal cheques drawn
on US banks to clear, so we will need to wait this long after
receipt of a personal cheque before shipping.
A money order, bank draft, or other 'cash'-like payment requires
little or no clearing, and will ensure that your shipment is
sent to you sooner.
An even quicker method would be a wire transfer from your bank.
As with a money order, there may be a small charge to you to
do this, but the money is transferred securely very quickly.
Contact us for more details about this payment method.
7) Buyers pay shipping from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to
your location. Shipping methods and costs will be arranged on
a case by case basis. The buyer is also responsible for any other
costs, such as insurance (if desired), and duty.
Canada is not as far away as you think! Here is some sample
shipping info to give you some idea of what to expect. These
rates have been calculated from material on Canada Post's website
(www.canadapost.ca) and are intended as examples only.
Package #1: 1 Medium set, 3 small sets pieces and instructions
in zip lock bag, no lego boxes, entire shipment in
padded box.
Package #2: 1 6086 - Dungeon Masters Castle, new sealed lego
box, plus 2 small sets, pieces and instructions in
zip lock, no lego box, entire shipment in padded box.
Contents Weight Destination Method Cost(US)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Package #1 2 lbs Toronto, Canada Surface, regular $3.75
Package #1 2 lbs Any US city Surface, small parcel $5.10
Package #1 2 lbs European city Surface, small parcel $5.20
Package #2 4 lbs Toronto, Canada Surface, regular $5.35
Package #2 4 lbs Dallas Surface, parcel post $6.00
Package #2 4 lbs London Surface, parcel post $9.25
At these basic rates, shipping will typically take 4 - 8 days within
Canada, 2 weeks to the US, and perhaps 3 to 4 weeks to Europe. Air
mail and faster shipping methods are available, of course, at a
higher cost.
8) All shipments will be carefully packaged, well padded and protected
from moisture. The destination address, as well as one of our
phone numbers, will be placed on the outside of the package in two
places (top and end of box), as well as inside the package.
9) If you are not satisfied with your sets, please contact us
immediately, and your payment (less shipping) will be refunded upon
return of the sets.
10) We reserve the right to withdraw items without notice, though this
is unlikely.
11) We reserve the right to reject any bid for any reason, or to deny
access to any bidder for any reason. (This is just a general
disclaimer to cover our butts).
