Place 1 301 250 Place 2 301 Place 3 250 539 To bid, the bidder number is written in the next blank space Only even dollar amounts are accepted. The winner in the silent and live auctions is the person whose bidder number is the last one in each column. In our example, #539 won one place for $35, and #250 won two places and can bring a friend to the party. #250 will pay $65 for two places, one at $30 and one at $35. In the fixed price auction, every spot is the same price, and every spot wins. When all the spots are filled, that item is closed. Quickie Boards The quickie boards happen simulataneously with the open auction. The bid sheet for each board is projected onto the wall for 5 minutes. Physical items sold on the quickie boards will be on display at the front of the sanctuary. How to Bid To bid in the fixed price or silent auctions, write your bidder on the bid sheet. To bid in the live auction hold up your bidder number (you will receive it written large on a piece of paper when you register.) For items with multiple places, also hold up fingers indicating how many spaces you want. The auctioneer will call out your bidder number, and the number of space you want. The recorder will enter this information on the bid sheet. To bid on a quickie board raise your hand and a runner will bring you a slip of paper. Write down the dollar amount of your bid, the item number, and your bidder number. The runner will then bring it back to the quickie board captain, who will record it. Check Out & Payment Check out begins at 8:30 in the foyer. After that time, give your bidder number to one of the check out people and you will be shown a list of your winnings and the total amount due. Payments are due on Auction night by cash or check made payable to UUCSS. We cannot accept credit cards. Your Receipt will be given to you after you pay. Items you won can be picked up at the winner’s table in the choir loft. Items not removed by March 21st, 2016 will be donated to a local charity.
