2011 Canadian National Wildfowl Carving Championship
Opportunity to Sell Your Carvings
At the 2011 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.
If the carver
wishes to sell the carving for a lower price, should the opportunity arise, the
carver should indicate the suggested sale price which will be accepted on the offer to
sell form.
A
Grand

Carvings for
Sale table at all times during the duration of

to buy a carving, they must pay for it by cash or cheque (with identification)
to the

the sales table at that time. The

a 10% selling commission from the purchase price and issue a cheque to the seller.
