Bidding Guidelines

Guide to Bidding at the Silent Auction

·         Write your name, contact information and bid clearly on the bid sheet.  Please make sure your information is legible.  We know you may have written it twenty times but we still need to be able to read it. 

·         Children in the bidding room must be accompanied by adults.  Unattended children may be asked to leave the room.

·         Children may write bids on the sheet as long as a parent/guardian is present at the time.   If children are bidding without their present and approving parent/guardian, the bid will be crossed off the bid sheet by the monitor.

·         You must bid in the increments listed on the top of the sheet.   Bids must be made according to the increment listed on the bid sheet.  If the increment is $10 and the last bid is $30, you must bid at least $40.  You may bid higher than $40, but it must be $50, or $60... NOT $45). 

·         Bids not made in the appropriate increment will be changed to the correct bid.  It will be assumed that you really wanted to make the correct bid and your incorrect bid will be changed by the monitor to the correct increment, no questions asked.  (Your bid of $35 on a $10 incremented item will be changed to $40)

·         Please bid as if you might win all of the items you want.  Bid on as much as you want as many times as you want but remember, you may just end up taking everything home. 

·         No bids will be allowed once bidding is called to a close.

·         All winning bids will be determined at the end of the event and you need not be present to win.  We will contact you to arrange for payment and delivery of your items.  Payment needs to be made within one week or we will offer item to next highest bidder.

·         All winning bids may be paid in cash or check, we are unable to accept credit cards.
