case of gift certificates, be described on the bid sheet. |
||

a bid, write our Auction Number (given to you at registration) on the appropriate
line followed by a bid amount. |
||
4. Minimum bids and bid increments will be noted on the
Bid Sheet. Please raise the bid by the minimum increment or more. Any
final bid not following the minimum bid increment rule is automatically
awarded to the last correct bid following these rules. |
||

number that appears with the highest bid (and adhering to the minimum bid
increment rule) at the close of the Silent Auction. |
||
6. Winners of the Silent Auction will be announced as soon
as possible. The process of inputting all the bid sheets into the computer

the auction, only bid numbers. |

||
9. All items must be removed at the close of the auction
unless other arrangements are made with the Auction Chair. |
||
10. Please note, the tax-deductible amount of your contribution
is the difference between the amount paid and the fair market value of
the item(s) purchased if the amount paid exceeds market value. |
||
| Proxy bidding will take place the week prior to the auction. If you are unable to attend the auction you may bid on items in advance. Your proxy bid will be the opening bid on the item(s) you have chosen. |
||
| If your proxy bid amount is not exceeded on the day of the auction you will be the winner of the item(s). You will be notified by phone on the day following the auction. At that time, you will be asked to make arrangements to pick-up and pay for your item(s) within the week. |
||
In addition to proxy bidding, you may also call to obtain your bid number before the event in order to avoid registration at the auction. |
||
