Online Auction Guidelines

 

  • An auction is like a sale—you will have a chance to buy items that have been donated by local businesses, national companies, parents, and teachers. You have a chance of buying the item by making a bid, that is, you offer an amount of money that you would be willing to pay. Another person may want the same item so he/she may offer more money, making a higher bid. At the end of the auction, the person with the highest bid wins the purchase of the item. You can continue bidding as often and as high as you want to win the item prior to the posted closing time of that item.

 

  • A minimum opening bid amount and minimum bid increase will appear on each item. A higher bid may be placed but it must be in increments of the minimum bid increase amount. For example, if a bid increase is $10, the bid increase must be a multiple of $10.

 

  • Some items will have a set “buy it now” price. These are instant items.

 

  • Read item descriptions and conditions carefully!

 

  • Please refer to posted closing times.
