• You may skip ahead to the bid amount you want to pay.  The next bidder must bid higher than you to be successful.  Each item has a “Guaranteed Bid” option at the bottom of the bid sheet.  “Guaranteed Bid” means you are willing to pay a premium price to guarantee you will own that item.  Simply write your bid number by the pre-determined sale price to close the item to further bidding.  If you use this option, you automatically own the item!
• All items must be paid for and taken home the evening of May 11, 2013.  You may pick up your item(s) beginning at 9:45 p.m. just outside the ballroom.  All items must be paid for prior to becoming the property of the winning bidder.
