of Auction
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 Clubs official actually removes the bid sheet from the board.
7. In the event that bidding is still in process when the Boys & Girls Clubs 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 validi-
ty 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.
GENERAL RULES
IMPORTANT (read carefully)
1. The Boys & Girls Clubs 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 10, 1989.
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 item "in excess of the
actual cash value of that item" 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 Clubs recommends winning bidders of live auc-
tion 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
Clubs will refund the full purchase price of any item where there is a failure of performance either on the part of
the Boys & Girls Clubs or on the part of the donor. Trip cancellation insurance is recommended for parties
purchasing trips.
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 Clubs, 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 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 11, 1989.
