Silent Auction Rules & Regulations

• Personal bid numbers will be provided at check-in. You must have a number to participate in the Silent Auction.
• Each item has a bidding sheet, which includes an item description, value, minimum bid, and restrictions where applicable. Enter your bid number and bid amount in $5.00 increments on the next available blank line. Bids that do not meet these requirements will be disqualified.
• Bid numbers must be legible.  If the auction volunteers are unable to read your number, the next highest bidder will be declared the winner.
• Please read the restrictions listed on the bidding sheets and in the auction program prior to bidding on an item.
• The Silent Auction will begin at 8:00 P.M. and close at 10:00 P.M. At the end of the auction, winning bids will be highlighted and the bidding sheets will be promptly taken to the cashier’s table. Any bids placed after 10:00 P.M. will be disqualified.
• Transactions will take place at the cashier’s table approximately 30 minutes after the auction closes.  Full payment is required and can be made with CASH, CHECK, VISA, or MASTERCARD.
• All sales are final; no refunds or exchanges.
• Dollar values placed on auctioned items are estimates of retail value and are not warranted by the Charity Ball Committee.
• Please direct any question to the volunteers stationed throughout the auction room.
