AUCTION RULES
BIDDING DURING ART AFFAIR
When you check in, you will be given a personal bid number. All sales
will be recorded and tracked using the bid number printed on your auction
paddle. See guidelines below for information regarding the bidding process.
SILENT AUCTION GUIDELINES
The Silent Auction will begin at 5:00 pm and close at 8:40 pm.
A bid sheet is displayed with each item. The item’s number will correspond
with that in your catalog or insert.
A minimum bid amount has been established for each silent auction item.
You may not bid below this amount.
To enter a bid, print your personal bid number legibly. If your entry is not
legible, the next bidder becomes the winner.
Once a bid is entered, it may not be removed.
Each new bid must be written on the next available line. It must be made in
an amount equal to, or greater than, the increment amount indicated on the
bid sheet.
When the silent auction closes, bids will no longer be accepted.
The wining bid is the last entry on the bid sheet. If you are not present at
auction closing, you are still the winner. We will call you the following week
to make arrangements for pick-up or shipping.
