MFARS holds a bring-and-buy sale twice a year (usually in
April/May and September/October) in the function room of the
Grant Arms Hotel, Fochabers. Everyone is welcome - the more
the merrier, and the more stuff is on offer.
Everything radio, electronic and computer-related is on offer,
from scrap parts to modern radio equipment in good condition.
Most items are sold at very low prices.
It's also a good opportunity to meet the club members, join
up, find out what's going on and have a good "rag chew".
Visitors (both hams and non-hams) are very welcome! Bring
all that stuff that's cluttering up your shack/garage/loft
and see how much you can get rid of. Maybe you'll end up taking
somebody else's stuff home. If it doesn't sell, bring it back
next time (or throw it in the rubbish bin conveniently situated
near the door if you really don't want it!)
The entry fee is usually £1 (excellent value!) and
there is no extra charge for sellers or tables. It's first
come, first served, so just choose a table (you can share
if you only have a few items), load your stuff on it and get
haggling.
If you plan to sell higher value items such as transceivers,
you can have your items listed in the sale notices and email
announcements before the sale. Contact the secretary
with the info.
The sales are held on Saturdays in the early afternoon. See
the diary page for sale dates.
Light lunches and drinks are available from the hotel kitchen.
Car parking is somewhat limited. If you have heavy items
(or lots of stuff) you can unload at the door then find a
park on one of the side streets.
