EBAY AUCTIONS TO BENEFIT NCCHP- 100%!

UPDATE 2/21/16: Our first 2 eBay auctions ended February 21st and produced good results. The current auction is for another 1905 Catalogue so if you missed out on the first auction you have a second chance to bid by CLICKING HERE.

ORIGINAL ANNOUNCEMENT 2/12/16: As the NCCHP Research Library begins to inventory the massive (seriously) Noble & Cooley company archives we're coming across multiple copies of a few historic items. Enough in fact that we can retain and preserve multiple duplicates in the archives and still feel comfortable selling a few extra copies with proceeds benefitting NCCHP.

So we're piloting a benefit auction approach on eBay where items are auctioned and 100% of the sale proceeds benefit NCCHP. This approach assures the widest audience, with the added benefit of attracting interest in NCCHP among people who are unaware of the museum and mission. The other good news is that as a registered charity eBay and PayPal are very supportive of benefit auctions and have significantly reduced their fees for us.

Now the fun part- our first two auctions are running now [ed. note: the first 2 auctions ended successfully on 2/21/16]. The first is a 68 page 1905 N&C catalogue complete with a 5 page Supplement. The second item is a 62 page 1909 N&C Catalogue.

As they say in the auction biz, "Bid high and bid often!" but most importantly, bid knowing that 100% of the item proceeds will benefit NCCHP. Thanks!
