2008 Auction Model List

Mid-Atlantic Regional Horse Show Benefit Auction

Models that do not make a reasonable price in the live auction will be added to the silent auction held through Sunday March 16 at  approximately 4:00 p.m.  Models may not be auctioned in the order listed below.  

What is a reasonable price?  Well, figure in the cost of the “body” (OF Breyer, often $25-$35, depending on it’s “newness” and popularity, plus shipping costs), plus prepping (another $30+, plus shipping costs), plus painting.  With this in mind, show management has the right to “no sale” an item if a reasonable price is not received.  These models will then be offered at silent auction, or later after the show on MHSP or ebay.   

Proxy bids will be accepted via e-mail until 12:00 noon Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Friday, March 14, 2008.  To place a proxy bid, you must send an e-mail to the show holder, Betsy Andrews, at Betsy_Andrews@hotmail.com, with the subject line “MAR Auction Bid.”  The e-mail must contain the following information: 

1. The lot letter;

3. Your full name;
4. Your mailing address;
5. Your e-mail address;
6. Your phone number; and
7. The highest whole dollar amount you are willing to pay for the item.

Current Bid: $50.00

The Lake Shore Miz Charisma has been custom glazed a sandy bay with minimal markings.  A very unique piece – perfect to show in the CG Lake Shore Division.  She’s a very different bay from the original color – a much softer, sandy color, with a great deal more shading, and golden highlights.  Minimal white make her a candidate for Plain Janes, too!
