The members-only auction at the National Convention is designed to provide an exciting, well-organized opportunity for collectors to buy and sell quality cast iron pieces. The auction features a curated selection of consignments from members, including both rare and desirable items as well as accessible pieces for a wide range of collectors. All items are submitted in advance and managed through a structured process to ensure accurate tracking, fair bidding, and a smooth overall experience.

The event is conducted in a professional auction format with clear lot listings, a preview period, and an efficient checkout system. Buyers can participate with confidence, knowing that items are properly cataloged and sales are handled securely. Consignors benefit from a transparent process, with proceeds distributed after the event along with a detailed summary of results.

In addition to being a highlight of the convention, this auction serves as an important fundraising activity that helps support the overall costs of hosting the National Convention. It brings members together to celebrate the hobby while directly contributing to the success and sustainability of the event.
