Sales Table
We encourage you to donate a wide variety of items to the FNCA Sales Table, which raises money to support camp. You decide what percentage of the sale price you wish to donate. Things that go well include hand-made crafts, popular fiction, children's items, various "home goods", and unusual items of interest. Second-hand items are welcome as long as they are in good condition; however, used clothing does not sell well.

© Nancy F. Little 2009 The annual Sales Table Auction is one of our most entertaining and popular events. The whole camp gathers in the dining hall towards the end of camp, and "skilled auctioneers" ply their trade selling off what's left on the Sales Table plus some never-seen-before items brought especially for the Auction. In the past few years, there have been re-caned FNCA chairs rescued from the dumpster, original oil paintings by accomplished artists, old plumbing fixtures that saw brisk bidding (really!), and many rare and unusual items. There's loads of laughter, mother bidding against daughter, farmer against clergy, and even some folks outbidding themselves! And often, items sell at the Auction for significantly higher than they were originally marked! It's all for a great cause, though: the good old FNCA.
Last year, the Sales Table netted over $1,000 for the Assembly, so we're not talking small potatoes here! So please consider what items you may have that might sell well and bring them along with you to camp this year.
Virtual Sales Table
We are considering setting up a virtual sales table on this site where donated items can be sold without being brought to camp.
In the meantime, if you have items you'd like to donate to the FNCA Virtual Sales Table and are willing to pay the postage to send them to the winning bidder, please contact Trevor, the FNCA Webmaster, at trevor@trevorthegamesman.com and we'll get things started.
