SCRIPT OF THE AUCTION
Live Auction
1. The Live Auction will begin at 9:00 p.m. and run to approximately 11:00. p.m. It will consist of the
voice auctioning of items in the order that they appear in the Live Auction Section of this catalogue
and in the Addendum.
2. All bidding at the auction will require a Bid Number. Your personal bid number is located on the back
of your catalogue along with your Registration Certificate. Fill out your registration card in advance to
avoid congestion at the entrance on the auction evening . A Bid Card is required for all bidding and purchasing
of items.
3. During the Live Auction, when you want to bid on an item wave your pom-pom or catalogue
number as frantically as possible to attract the auctioneer's or the spotter's attention. If you win an item,
immediately announce your Bid Number to the auctioneer or the spotter and remain in your seat.
4. A "runner" will bring a sales slip directly to you, indicating the prize you have purchased and the amount
of your winning bid . You may wait until the end of the evening and pay for all of your purchases at one time
at the checkout booth .
