Live Auction Rules

1.You will receive a bid card when you sign-in/register for the event. To bid in the live auction, please hold your bid card up high with the number toward the auctioneer.

Top bidders may pay for their items at the “bank”, which opens for regular service at the end of the live auction. You agree to pay for any item or items you win in full at the auction and prior to leaving the event.

4.Auction items will be awarded to one high bidder/purchaser only. You may not split the highest bid amount for an auction item among bidders who have agreed to pay for a portion of the top bid amount, i.e. no group bidding is allowed. In other words, if you bid on and win an item, you remain solely responsible for making payment in full for that item.
