Canadian
National Wildfowl Carving Championship
Opportunity to Sell Your Carvings
At the 2009 Canadian Nationals competition in the KW Wood
Show, carvers will have the opportunity to sell their carvings to visitors
attending the KW Wood Show.
Sellers:
Each carver who wishes to offer one or more carvings for
sale at the show must complete an “offer to sell” form for each
carving to be offered for sale. The
carver must decide what the selling price should be. The selling price must include the Canadian GST
(Goods and Services Tax) and the Ontario Sales Tax, if either of these is
applicable. If the carver wishes to sell
the carving for a lower price should the opportunity arise, the carver should
indicate the lowest price which will be accepted on the offer to sell form.
A Grand Valley Woodcarvers Club member will be at the
Carvings for Sale table at all times during the duration
of the KW Wood Show. If a person wishes
to buy a carving, they must pay for it by cash or cheque (with identification)
to the Grand Valley Woodcarvers Club member who is in charge
of the sales table at that time. The Grand Valley Woodcarvers Club will deduct a 5%
selling commission from the purchase price and issue a cheque to the seller for
95% of the selling price.
Any carver who is interested in selling one or more
carvings at the next Canadian Nationals should contact one of the following
people in advance of the show, to make arrangements for selling their carvings
at the show:
·
Peter
McLaren at 519-579-5546 or pemcl@golden.net
·
Don
Price at 519-271-7089 or dprice@golden.net
Carvers are advised to notify Peter or Don
with a list of the carvings which they wish to offer for sale in advance of the
next Canadian Nationals competition. If
the selling price is known, it should be indicated in the communication to
Peter or Don. If a photo is available,
it should also be sent to Peter or Don.
Prior to the next Canadian Nationals, all
information which is available for carvings to be offered for sale will be
posted on this web site. The more
information you provide, the more interest you may generate among potential
purchasers.
Buyers:
Anyone interested in purchasing one or more
of the carvings which is being offered for sale at the Canadian Nationals
carving sales table should make the interest known to the Grand Valley
Woodcarvers Club member who is in charge of the sales area at that time. The carving will be sold to the first person
who offers to purchase a particular carving and pays for the requested purchase price in full by cash or
cheque to the GVWC member in charge of the sales table. Post-dated cheques, debit payments, and
credit card payments will not be accepted.
Buyers who wish to know what carvings are
available for sale should check this web site occasionally and check it
regularly during the month prior to next year’s Canadian Nationals.
