Silent Auction Guidelines

1. You will be assigned a bid number that will be used to identify you for the silent auction. Please use this number when placing all bids. 2. Each silent auction item has a bid sheet listing the opening bid and minimum bid increase. Please note any conditions or restrictions as specified in the program and on the information sheets on the auction tables. All sales are final and items are sold “as is.” Buyers waive any claim for liability against either GHA Autism Supports or the donor of the auction item. 3. To place a silent auction bid, write the amount you intend to bid and your bid number on the sheet accompanying the item. Bid as often as you wish. Please note the bid increase must be at least the increment noted on the bid sheet or the bid will be voided. Certain sections of the silent auction will close before others. Announcements will be made prior to the closing of each section. Be sure to keep an eye on the items you wish to purchase! 4. Winners will be denoted on the bid sheet by highlighting the winning bid number. Your item(s) will be taken to the checkout area when the auction is over. 5. Payment should be made to the cashiers at the end of the auction. MasterCard®, Visa®, Discover® and American Express®, cash and personal checks will be accepted. 6. Winners are responsible for removing purchased items and picking up gift certificates the night of the auction. 7. Values for the auction items are derived from the donor’s estimate of fair market value. Only the amount paid above fair market value is tax deductible. In the case where “purchase price” is listed as the value, the amount paid for the item is equal to the fair market value. GHA Autism Supports neither warrants the quality nor the value of items or services.
