SCRIPT

4. Each Bid Sheet notes a minimum value by which the existing bid must be increased in order to con-
stitute a higher valid bid. Each new bid must be written on the uppermost blank line available on Bid Sheet.

5. All bids must be in even dollar amounts (no cents). Any bid which includes cents will be automatically
disqualified.
6. The bid boards will be closed approximately at the times stated in the catalogue. However, the official closing
will be that time when the Boys & Girls Club official actually removes the bid sheet from the board .
7. In the event that bidding is still in process when the Boys & Girls Club official attempts to close the board,
the Official shall conduct a mini-live auction on the spot, allowing all persons wishing to bid to do so
and shall determine the winning bidder, subject to Rule 8 below.
8. After the bid board is closed, the Bid Sheets will be taken to the item verification table. At this time
the validity of all bids will be established (bid number, even dollar bids, minimum increases, etc.) The highest
valid bid will be declared the winner and the decision of the official will be final. Shortly after the board is
closed , an official shall post the bid number of the winning bidder on the board.

IMPORTANT (read carefully) GENERAL RULES

1. The Boys & Girls Club requires that all prizes be paid for in full at the auction . Payment may
be made by cash , check, Visa or Mastercard.

2. Unless otherwise specified, all auction items and services must be used within one year from June
13, 1987. Unless otherwise specified or stated by donor, all items are transferable from the winner to another
person.
3. According to the Internal Revenue Service, only the amount paid for an auction prize "in excess
of the actual cash value of that prize" is tax deductible. A written receipt indicating such an amount
for tax purposes will be issued to you after the auction at your request.
4. All sales are final. For our guests' protection the Boys & Girls Club recommends winning bidders of live
auction trips purchase trip cancellation insurance to protect their investment. The Club cannot refund monies
for trips which the buyer must cancel due to illness or other personal emergencies. However, the Boys &
Girls Club will refund the full purchase price of any item where there is a failure of performance either on the
part of the Boys & Girls Club or on the part of the donor.
5. Prior to leaving the auction, all bidders should go through "checkout" to verify their
winning purchases. All winning bidders are to report to the cashier's table to pay for
the items and to claim their prizes. Any bidder not making arrangements for payment
at the cashier's table by the end of the evening may, at the discretion of the Boys & Girls Club,
forfeit his right to purchase the item and it will be made available to the next highest bidder.

6. All items should be removed from the premises on the night of the auction. In the event you cannot remove
your purchases that evening, you must do so between 12 noon and 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 14, 1987. If
you wish to do otherwise, prior arrangements must be made by either the purchaser or donor.
