An important note for anyone willing to give something to the silent auction / fundraiser;
If, like me, you were afraid that your product / service sell for so low that it would have been better to sell it regular price on whatever forum and give a cash donation instead, don’t worry. You can set a minimum bid price, to make sure enough go to the fundraiser, while someone gets a good deal as well.
I msg Luke and he explain me how it works, so here is a copy and paste from what he send me for the rules, they will be posted on site as well ;
“All items will be display on a table in the back, with a bid sign up sheet beside them. To place a bid, legibly print your name in the starting bid space or on the line following the highest current bid. Indicate your bid in the appropriate space on your bidding row. All new bids must be higher than the previous bid by at least the minimum raise indicated at the top of the bid sheet, in order to be valid (some items might not have a minimum bid / raise).
A bid is construed as a legal agreement to purchase the listed item(s) at the amount indicated. All bidders must be 18 years of age or above.
Usually all winning bids must be settled before the end of the event but since we are a small community and we know pretty much each others, late payment (as in the next 3-4 days) can be accepted as well by either cash, check or e money transfer. Failure to make payment will guarantee a very unpleasant visit to your house from Bobson and 240 on the fifth day.
Bids may only be voided by an auction volunteer or staff member due to valid bidding error. Please seek assistance if you find an invalid bid or make a mistake during bidding.
The auction will close at 21h45, at which time the highest bid on each bid sheet will be declared the winner. If conflict arises over identifying the last valid bid for an item(s), auction staff has the sole discretion to determine the winner or to impose an alternate method of closing the item for interested parties, including, but not limited to, a sealed final bid.”
(I’ll be honest I added the failure to make payment part)
Thanks for the info Luke. I wrote it here in case that there was other people wondering to.
