Frequently Asked Questions

• What is your cost?
  You must provide a credit card, which will be charged the price of the items you intend to offer at auction. Once your event is finished, you keep the difference between your selling (winning bid) price and our price to you for those items that sold. Any unsold items, as long as they are in undamaged condition, may be returned and your credit card will be credited for those items.
• What price advantage can GrayHawk Memorabilia deliver?
  Because of our close relationships with manufacturers, we offer prices substantially below suggested retail, so your charity earns more money. What's more, our autographed items are guaranteed authentic, so there's no worry about the value of auction items.
• Does GrayHawk Memorabilia make donations?
  Due to the large number of requests we receive for donated items, we have developed our consignment system. This ultimately benefits charities, because it gives them the opportunity to auction numerous items, making a margin on each, rather than simply receiving a single item donated outright.
• What are the minimums for providing Sports Memorabilia for our Fundraiser?
  We request a fundraiser of 300 or more attendees and a minimum of 15 signed memorabilia collectables.
• Can we have other Memorabilia vendors or other donated Sports Memorabilia at our fundraiser?
  Due to the integrity and security of our products and our commitment in providing a service that requires no up front fee from our customer we ask as a courtesy to us that no other sports memorabilia services or donated sports memorabilia be allowed at the same fundraising event unless mutually agreed upon by GrayHawk Memorabilia and Charity Fundraising Committee. Donated items, services or other memorabilia services other than sports memorabilia are acceptable.
• Can our auction be run by GrayHawk Memorabilia?
  Sorry, not at this time. But we will do anything else we can to make your auction a success.
• What kinds of things factor into bigger sales?
  The right combination of products and prices, as well as a sense of what your guests like, all factor into your success. We can advise you on these issues when we work together.
• Does GrayHawk Memorabilia provide Charity Fundraising services in other states?
  Sorry, this service is only available within Maricopa County in Arizona.
• Who sets the RESERVES for the charity auction items?
  GrayHawk Memorabilia will provide a list and descriptions of agreed upon signed memorabilia prior to the charity fundraiser event. Accompanying this list GrayHawk Memorabilia will set the RESERVES. It will be the decision of the charity fundraiser to increase the RESERVES if desired. Once an item is SOLD to the HIGHEST BIDDER the charity fundraiser will keep the difference of the sale over the RESERVE that GrayHawk Memorabilia has set. Example; Michael Jordon RESERVE is $900.00 and the HIGHEST BID is $2500.00, the charity fundraiser will provide payment to GrayHawk Memorabilia $900.00 and will profit for its charity the difference of $1600.00.
• Who provides the BID SHEETS?

It will be the responsibility of the charity fundraiser to provide BID SHEETS or auctioneer for event.
