How to bid in the live auction:
In person: If you attend the auction, you can
raise your hand to indicate your intent to bid.
When the auctioneer sees your hand or paddle,
they will acknowledge you and the amount of your
bid according to predefined increments.
Telephone: Phone bidding allows you to bid
remotely with the support of a Foundation
representative. You need to register beforehand
and will be called as your lot approaches for
auction. You can then place your bid over the
phone, which the representative in turn will relay
to the auctioneer.
Absentee: Absentee bidding allows you to leave
a maximum bid before the auction begins. The
auctioneer will then bid on your behalf up to
your maximum bid amount during the auction.
If someone else bids higher than your maximum
bid, you will be outbid. If you win the lot, we will
notify you after the auction.
The silent auction lots will close 10 minutes after
the live auction concludes.
How to bid in the silent auction:
In person: A running total of bids will be tracked
against all silent auction lots. You will be able to
see if you are outbid.
Telephone: Phone bidding allows you to bid remotely
with the support of a Foundation representative.
You need to register your interest in specific lots
beforehand and will be called after the live auction
closes to place your bid for any silent auction lots
over the phone. If someone else bids higher than
your bid, you will be notified and given the opportunity
to respond.
Absentee: Absentee bidding allows you to leave a
maximum bid before the auction begins. A Foundation
representative will then bid on your behalf up to your
maximum bid amount during the auction. If someone
else bids higher than your maximum bid, you will be
outbid. If you win the lot, we will notify you after
the auction.
