What is a Quarter Auction and How Does it Work?

[Intrepid_Chef]

Talked to a TW consultant at a fair and she told me that she does a monthly "quarter auction."

For her its 6 shows at once and many hosts say, "Just put me down for your next quarter auction."

She rents her local American Legion on a weeknight for $25.

There is no food at her shows so she directs guests to the canteen which makes them money.

Each table host gets credit for orders placed at her table.

Part of the demonstration includes the quarter auction. She starts with small items and determines how many quarters she needs to make her money back on each thing.

I am at least going to send an e-mail out to determine interest on this.

You're probably going to get a lot of questions on what a quarter auction is. I kind of have a vague idea, but don't completely understand it.

You might want to look into the legal aspects of a Quarter Auction. I have been doing one for 2 years and we have to shut it down because the state of Ohio has changed the gambling laws to include QA and make them a felony. I believe they are shutting them down one by one in Ohio and if you get caught they will fine you a hefty fine as the consultant. I think they are a great idea and love doing them but I don't want anyone to get in trouble.

I posted everything I know about it.Sheesh! You would think that if we at least donated profits to charity they'd be fine with it. I'm all for shutting down the "internet cafes" but if they can have those why can't we harmlessly promote our businesses?Click on the threads below and you will get more info than you ever wanted, those of you who live outside of PA or Ohio.
