Quarter Auction January 12, 2008

Doors open at noon, bidding starts at 1:00pm,
Steel Workers Hall, 540 Dundalk Ave, Baltimore, MD

Don't know what a quarter auction is? Let me explain...
You bring at least one roll of quarters and you get a bidding paddle. The items are shown for the auction and the number of quarters needed to bid on the item is announced. Once you put the appropriate number of quarters in the bucket, you are permitted to hold up your paddle. If you have more than one paddle, you submit the appropriate number of quarters for each paddle. So, if you have two paddles and you want more chances to win an item with a one quarter bid, you would put two quarters into the bucket and hold up both paddles. Then they draw a number and if the number called matches your paddle, you win the item.
The quarters all correspond to a value range. For this auction, $10 - $20 = 1 quarter bid, $21 - $40 = 2 quarter bid, $41 - $60 = 3 quarter bid, and $61 – up = 4 quarter bid. The max you would bid for any one item would be 4 quarters per paddle.
Yes, people really do win $100 items for just $1.00. Talk about a discount!
