The very popular Annual Ring Magic Auction has been scheduled for Saturday, April 11th. Check-In and Viewing starts at 5:30 PM. The auction kicks off at 6:30 PM.

Please notice the change of venue to Lord of Life Lutheran Church!

This is your opportunity to sell that unused magic sitting in your closet and to buy great magic props, books, videos and more at bargain basement prices. 

Certain rules do apply to the auction. Entering the auction as a buyer or seller implies understanding and acceptance of these rules. 

Each Seller must present a completed Ring Auction Record at check-in listing each lot item being sold. This Excel form may be downloaded from the club website www.RaleighMagicClub.org.

Sellers should remain with their tables during the viewing to demonstrate items and answer questions. This may enhance sales and keep the auction from bogging down. A Catalog description of the effect printed out and attached to the item helps immensely!

All Bids are Binding!  All Sales are Final! All Auction and Direct Sale Items are sold As-Is! Buyers are strongly encouraged to examine every piece of interest BEFORE the auction begins. Any and all disagreements must be resolved exclusively between the Buyer and the Seller. The Ring accepts no responsibility for resolving disputes

If the item does not sell at auction, ownership reverts to the Seller after the auction ends and only then may that item be sold privately.  

Sellers are required to represent the condition and function of each item in a fair and honest manner.

The minimum starting bid on all items is $10.00.  Buyers are asked to bundle lesser-valued items auction items into bundles with a starting value of $10.00 or more.

A DIRECT SALE TABLE will be available for items valued under $5.00. These items will not be auctioned and will be sold AT THE PRICE MARKED. Mark all Direct Sale Items with the Seller's Number and Price.

To avoid distractions, Direct Sale Items may be removed from the table and purchased only before the auction starts, during auctioneer breaks, and at the end of the auction. The table will be covered and off limits when the auction begins or restarts.

To enhance the potential value of your item or bundle, please provide the auctioneer with:

• Seller Lot Number plainly marked on each item or bundle.
• A Full Effect Description and Manufacturer/Author
• Original Retail Value (If Known)
• Minimum Acceptable Bid

The Auctioneer is the full and final authority regarding competing and winning bids. His decision is final.

The Ring #199 Treasury retains a 15% commission on all auction and direct sales. No fee is collected for unsold items.
