The club will be hosting a joint club equipment sale and swap meet on Saturday, January 13.
Time: 10a to Noon, with Pizza for Lunch
Location: Newberry Star Park (NSP)
Important Updates:
1> This event is SHINE only. Watch for updates. If raining or very likely to be raining, we will hold a make-up date.
2> Don’t forget to bring your equipment to sell or trade. You never know who is looking for your stuff.
Below is a list of some of the equipment we will be selling/auctioning at the sale.
—————————————————————————————
The club equipment managers evaluated the NSP inventory and compared it to club needs. A number of scopes, mounts, and general Astro equipment were then selected for sale. In addition to ‘for sale’ items, there is a collection of older scopes and equipment that will be offered at no cost.
The sale format will start with open bid sheets on all items. Items that have two or more bids will go to auction starting at 11:30a. Proceeds from the sale will go to the club.
