s ilent auction rules
The silent auction begins at 5:30pm and ends at 7:00pm. A bid sheet and fact sheet are displayed with each item. Bids
may be entered by legibly writing one’s bidder number and bid amount on the bid sheet. Each new bid must be written on
the next available line on the bid sheet and must be in increments as indicated. If a dispute
occurs regarding the final bid, each bidder will be asked to write his or her bid on a sheet of paper. The highest bid will be
the winning bid. Once a bid is entered, it may not be removed.
Your bidder number on the bid sheet is a legal contract to purchase the lot if you are the winner. The highest bid at
the close of the auction table is the winning bid. Please read the fact sheets carefully for restrictions or special conditions.
‘ B U Y I T N OW ’
All of the silent auction lots have a Buy It Now value. To guarantee that you are the winning bidder of a particular item, enter
a Buy It Now bid at the bottom of the bid sheet as indicated,
along with your signature. In most cases, the Buy It Now bid
will be at 150% of the item’s stated value, but may be as high as
300% of the value. When a Buy It Now bid is made, bidding on
that item will be closed and you are the guaranteed winner.
‘ DRINK ME TONIGHT ’
Some silent auction wines have been designated as excellent
vintages to ‘Drink Me Tonight.’ These bid sheets have an extra
box to the right of the bid amount. If you wish to enjoy your
winnings immediately, mark the box, and the wine will be
brought to your table to be served during dinner.
PAY M E N T A N D
RECEIPT OF ITEMS
Guests have the option to pre-register a credit card at check-in.
Winning silent auction bidders will be presented with an invoice
during the dinner, and guests who have not pre-registered will
have the option to pay at that time to avoid waiting in line at
the conclusion of the event. Merchandise may be picked up
outside the ballroom at the conclusion of the dinner.
All sales are final and no exchanges or refunds are allowed.
Dates for services, vacations, parties, et cetera, are to be
arranged by mutual convenience between the donor and purchaser. Time periods designated for use of homes, restaurants,
gift certificates, services, hotels, and resorts are not subject to
change unless otherwise indicated.
Payment for auction items may be made following the
sale by personal check, American Express, Visa, or MasterCard.
Payment in full, including 8.75% sales tax where applicable, is
required. All items must be claimed at the end of the evening
unless size or quantity prevents their removal. It has been our
intent to describe accurately all items with the information provided to us by our generous contributors. Some restrictions and
blackout periods may apply. We reserve the right to withdraw
any item prior to sale.
Payments for auction items are tax-deductible only as
allowed by law. IRS Revenue Ruling #67-246 states that no
deduction for an auction purchase price is allowed except to the
extent that the taxpayer can show that payment exceeded the
fair market value (as listed on the invoice) of an item received
or a service rendered. Fair market values have been provided by
the contributors of the auction items.
