There has been a request for absentee bids on some of the items, so If you are not going to be attending the show but would like to bid on something you see posted as being at the silent auction, then here is how it works....
And if this doesnt work, it is all Liz's fault.
YES!
We will take absentee bids on Silent Auction Items. Here is how we will handle it.
1. Post what your bid is when you see something you want to bid on. If you are the first to bid, then we will start a new thread just for that item.
2. Watch the thread in case someone decides to join in and bid there also.
3. The highest bid in a thread on Thursday, Dec 8th at 5 pm ALBERTA TIME will be the reserve bid on this item at the show. No more online bids will be accepted after 5pm Dec 8th.
4. The item will be presented at the Silent auction (with reserve bid) for ferther bids.
5. At NOON on SATURDAY the bidding will close on this item. Who ever has the highest bid wins.
6. Someone who has placed an online bid in this thread may TEXT ME (no phone, no email) any time Saturday from 10 am to 11:45 am to up their bid. If you text me I will tell you what the bid is at and will accept a new bid via text and enter it onto the item.
7. Winner is responsible for shipping or transport.
If someone uses the Text-a-Bid feature (limited to people who have posted a bid on this thread) I promise I will try to make sure I get your text, I will check. But I cant guarantee cell reception in the building of course. I can pretty much guarantee that if you phone me the cell wont work or I will not be able to hear you.
Does this work?
We have never done this before, not even thought of it.
Disclaimer: If this in any way does not work or in the case of errors or ommisions, the author of this post accepts no blame in any way and the whole thing is all Liz's fault.
