AUCTION RULES

You will receive your bidding number as you check in.

There are bid sheets that correspond to each item in the Silent Auction. To place a bid, write your bidder number next to a preprinted amount space that is provided.

Minimum bid increments are specified on the bid sheets. If the minimum bid or bid increments are not observed, your bid shall be void.

Your bid number or signature on a bid sheet constitutes a legal contract to buy.

The Auction Chairpersons and Auctioneer shall have final discretion to determine winning bids in the Silent Auction.

The "Guaranteed Purchase" allows you to purchase a specific Silent Auction item without anyone bidding against you. You can enter your bidder number in that box and the item is yours! The bidding stops!

The Live Auction will begin approximately at 8 p.m., and continue without interruptions until all items have been auctioned. The bidding order of the Live Auction items is subject to change after publication of the program.

To enter a bid in the Live Auction, raise your paddle to signal the Auctioneer.

If the Auctioneer determines that any winning bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, he may reject same and withdraw the article for sale.

Unless otherwise indicated, all Auction items and services must be used by December 31, 2012. It is strongly recommended that you contact donors of services as soon as possible to make arrangements for use of donation.

The Matthew Turner Elementary School PTA has attempted in good faith to accurately describe all items and their values. Everything is sold "as is." The Auction Committee and Matthew Turner PTA shall in no event be responsible for any item.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Auction items have been donated by friends of the school and may not be exchanged or refunded for cash.

All items must be paid in full and collected at the end of the Auction.

In determining the tax deductibility of items purchased at the Auction, Revenue Ruling # 67-246 issued August 4, 1988, reminds bidders that no deduction is allowable except to the extent the fair market value at retail of the item or service received. Matthew Turner PTA reprints this information here to exercise its responsibility to fully inform its supporters of the applicable tax law.

Thank you for your support.
