Silent Auction Policies
The silent auction closes at 9:00 PM
The silent auction is similar to a regular auction except for the presence of an auctioneer. You select the item(s) to bid on and write your bid on the bid sheet. If you are the single highest bidder–YOU WIN!
Silent auction items are displayed with a bid sheet. If you wish to bid on the item, write your name and the dollar amount clearly on the sheet. If someone has already bid on the sheet, move to the next line and raise the bid by the minimum increments allowed for that item.
EXAMPLES If the written bid is $75 and the minimum bid increase is $5, the next bid must be $80.
If the written bid is $100 and the minimum bid increase is $10, the next bid must be $110.
Even though you bid once, be sure to check your item often because someone may raise your bid. You then have the opportunity to raise the bid so you don’t lose the item.
Auction Policy and Terms of Sale
The Mule Deer Foundation is not capable of guaranteeing the quality of trips or merchandise, or the satisfaction of either the buyer or the donor, and offers no warranty, either expressed or implied, on any auction or drawing transaction.
