Re: AIS Silent Auction - your thoughts on thisplease

I see know very good reason why a regional Silent Auction can't occur side by side with the AIS silent auction. 
But we should have a policy.

I think it a good idea, HOWEVER, because this is a rare book I would 
not put it out on the table. Photos of the front and back cover to 
show any wear etc would be okay. 

I say this because I have been on the look out for it to add to my 
collection. Found one in a rare bookstore in Washington State. They 
want over $1,100 for it. Obvisously it is still there. 

I am mentioning the off the table because we have had valuable 
jewelry walk away - sadly. 

I agree with Tom, one time deal and handshake should suffice. Make 
this too complicated and hard feelings could arise. 

My two cents worth, 

Janet Smith
