Guidelines and General Rules

The auction will be open from 5:30pm to 8:30pm. Tables will begin closing at 8:15pm, with the last table closing at 8:20pm. Auction items are displayed in each section in the order they are listed in the program. Displays include a bid sheet. Each item is assigned a basic minimum bid. No bid under the assigned minimum will be accepted. Each bidder is assigned a bid number and a table number and is responsible for all bids made by this number. Bidders will record their bid number on each bid sheet. A bid MUST be raised on the minimum indicated on the bid sheet in order to qualify as a VALID bid.

Bidding will cease when it is announced that a section has closed. No additional bids will be accepted once the table has been closed. An auction official will determine the winner in the case of a dispute.

Group purchases are invited and encouraged! For items purchased by a group of bidders, please designate one person to settle in full with the auction cashier. The cashier is located on the first floor of the school, across from the Religious Ed room.

All sales are final and on an “as is” basis. There are no refunds, exchanges, or substitutions. You may pay cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover. Please make checks payable to St. Bernard’s. Payment in full is expected at close of the oral auction.

For security purposes all purchased items need to be removed from the premises the night of the event. No item may leave the premises without being paid in full. After completing your purchase at the Auction Check out, you may take your paid receipt to the silent auction monitors and pick up your item. Any certificates will be given to the winning bidder at check out.

Pick up large “bulky” items on Sunday, October 23 from 9am to Noon at the school office. No deliveries unless otherwise noted. St Bernard’s is not responsible for items not picked up within 24 hours of the event.

Statements of value are good faith estimates made by those that have donated the item or service. We would like to inform the successful auction bidders that for tax purposes the IRS announced policy is to assume that any amount paid for goods or services received at a charity auction represents the value of those goods or service. Taxpayers may be required to establish that some amount may be deductible above and beyond the fair market value. For more information, please consult your tax advisor.

Thank you, thank you, thank you…

To all those who donated items and services, and those who solicited for the items.

Your generosity and persistence makes a huge difference for all those at St. Bernard’s.
