For those who are Auction beginners, this is how it works:
SILENT AUCTION
**Bidding begins promptly at 5:30pm. The items donated by local businesses, PJP II families and friends of PJP II will be set up on tables. Each item will have a bid sheet which will list the item#, description, value, starting bid and up bid amount. The up bid or raise amount is the amount by which the last bid must be increased. For example: IF the minimum bid is $20 and the up bid is $2, the next bid must be $22, the next $24 and so on. Any bid which does not meet the minimum bid or raise amount will be void. To bid, you write your bid number, found on the back of the auction program, on the bid sheet with a corresponding bid amount.
**The first table will close at 7pm, with each table closing in 10-minute increments thereafter. There will be an announcement made prior to the closing of each table, so you can check to see if you have been overbid and need to make another bid for a particular item.
**Winning bid #s will be posted by the Accounting Group after the bids have been reviewed for accuracy.
PUBLIC AUCTION
**Public auction items will be available for preview during the silent auction.
**Bidding will begin at approximately 9pm.
**To bid on an item, hold your program up with your bid # facing the auctioneer. The auctioneer will determine the winner.
**Successful bidders must show bidder number.
CHECK OUT
**Once you have completed your bidding and determined your winning bids, you may pay for your items in the cashiering area. Cash, checks, MasterCard and Visa will be accepted.
**All items must be paid for and picked up before the end of the night.
