How To Bid & Auction Rules
.............................................
Each OCS family and faculty has the opportunity to pre-register and receive an auction bidder number the week before the event. 

On the day of the Auction, before you begin bidding, (if you have not pre-registered) please register (provide name, address and method of payment) and receive your bidder number at our Auction Registration table.
o Each item will have a bid sheet attached or nearby.
The bid sheet will be categorized and numbered to correspond with this catalogue.
Be sure that you are bidding on the item that you want. There may be changes and additions since the catalogue was printed and, in case of a discrepancy between the catalogue and bid sheets, the bid sheets will hold sway.
o Note: for certain items multiple bidders will win. The maximum number of winners will be noted on the bid sheet and in the catalogue. You will find that the bid sheets for these items have pre printed dollar amounts next to each bid line. Please write your number next to a dollar amount. Do not write in your own dollar amount. At the close of bidding, the top bidders, up to the maximum will be considered the winners.
o Each bid sheet will indicate a minimum starting bid and a minimum raise. Raises made for less than the minimum raise will be considered invalid. At the close of bidding, the highest valid bid entered on the bid sheet will be considered the winner.
o Alterations of any bid by bidders are prohibited. Once a bid is written it may not be crossed out. Bid sheet adjustments may occur only with the approval and signature of a Silent Auction Official. Please locate and OCS Auction Official if you wish to retract a bid.
o Note that some items have restrictions. Please consult the bid sheet and the catalogue carefully, as all items are subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations set by the donor. Many restaurant certificates do not include alcoholic beverages, tax, and gratuity. Most certificates have no cash value. Unless otherwise noted certificates expire on May 17, 2009.
o Values placed on the items are estimates only and are not warranted by Ocean Charter School for tax or other purposes.
o All items are sold ³as is.² The Silent Auction Committee has made every effort to give valid and accurate descriptions, values, expiration dates, and restrictions for all of the items. However, the committee cannot be held responsible for any errors, omissions, or events beyond its control.
o The auction will close in sections. Nobody is allowed to bid on the item in a section after that section has closed. At the close of bidding, the last dollar amount entered on the bid sheet constitutes a winning bid and will be marked by an auction volunteer. If necessary, a Silent Auction Official will hold an ³on the spot² live auction to determine the winning bid for the item in question.
o In the event of a dispute, an auction official will render the final decision to determine the winning bid.
o Please, no children are allowed in the auction unless accompanied by an adult.
o Last, but not least, bid early, bid often, and enjoy your auction winnings. The funds we raise support students at Ocean Charter School.
