Re: [AGA-mcm] Auction question

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Many of the donated items we receive and put into auction
will be equipment -- so equipment seems fine to me.

Based on the average per item sales last year and the fact
that used stuff sells at a discount compared to new stuff,
I wouldn't expect used stuff to bring much money even if it
was is in stellar condition.

So I don't think it would bring a lot of revenue. Possibly
it would bring a lot more purchase choices to the attendees
-- but I have some doubts about the market for used
aquarium equipment.

New stuff would look classier.
