Silent Auction 2019

Not attending the Jane Austen Society of North America's AGM in Williamsburg on October 2–6 this year?

We are listing three of our most exciting, historical items here, and will accept bids for them remotely this year. Our wonderful Pam Braak will check for bids, enter them onto the bidding sheets for you, and let you know how it goes. She will enter your bid incrementally, but be sure to let her know what your highest bid would be, in case she needs to go to your limit. She will contact you afterwards for payment if you win.

Winners will receive a tax-deductible donation receipt for any amount above listed valuation. Remember that this is a charity auction.  Help Chawton House in a big way by bidding high!

We are no longer accepting bids for these items.
