Auction Guidelines

Please Read the following Guidelines to help insure a successful BIA 2010!

* * *

All auction payments are due 10 days AFTER notification TO the winners.
If payment is not received during specified time, item(s) may be listed again for auction.

* * *

We are all volunteers and give our time freely.

It is a HUGE help to us to conclude transactions ASAP!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There may well be exceptions from time to time. If you have a VALID reason and need more time, we will accommodate a SINCERE VALID delay in payment and/or mailing -- within a reasonable time frame. If you have a problem send an email to Patty Woodbury.

This is so that we can aim to have ALL auctions closed no more than 1 month after the auction. We do not have the time or resources to continue to "track" late items.....NOR do the Iggies have the time or resources. The sooner we get the funds to their destination, the sooner the bills can be addressed AND the more good we can continue to do!

* * *

Thanks for understanding and continuing to help the Iggies!

Rules for Tie Bids

On the final night of each week, the item will go to the first bidder if the tie isn't broken.

Tie bidders should watch the bidding because the auctioneer may not be able to notify each tie bidder on the night prior to the close of each week's auction. You may also set up memorized auctions and watches on auction items that you are interested in! But, remember, set your maximum bids as high as you are willing to go so you don't miss out on your favorite items at the last minute.

We do accept proxy bids. If you really want an item, the system will increase the winning bid in $1.00 increments up to your specified amount.

Please keep bidding in whole dollar amounts.

It is too difficult to track "change".......Thanks for your understanding.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Winners will be notified by email of their wins within 24 hours of the close of each auction. Donors will be notified of payment received as soon as possible. They will then ship the item(s) to the winning bidder.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A PayPal button will be provided at the close of each week for those who choose to pay for their item(s) this way.

PLEASE include the item name and number to help us process your order smoothly.

Thanks so much!
