Worker Descriptions

Workers are really the ones who make the MBC sale a success! We always have amazing people who work very hard, and we hope to have the same for this sale.

Consignors are given preferential treatment for shifts but anyone is allowed to sign up for work shifts.

Don’t forget those husbands! We always need some extra muscle…especially during set-up and tear-down!
