1. Names and all other information on auction participants is strictly confidential. I cannot call or email bidders back when they have been outbid as this would be unfair to all bidders. Also I cannot call or email bidders when the auction is over to let them know if they have won or lost an item.

2. You may bid by either mail, phone, e-mail or all 3. If two or more mail bids on the same item result in a tie, and no one tops these bids by phone, or e-mail, the one with the earliest postmark gets the item. All mail bids must be received by Saturday, March 25, 2017. All e-mail bids must be received by 9:00 P.M. Saturday, March 25, 2017. You may also leave a maximum bid amount. Example, current bid is $25.00, you can raise it to $27.00 but leave a maximum bid of $45.00 that will be used in increments only as needed.

3. Phone bidding is designed to make the auction as close as possible to an auction that you would attend in person. Phone bidding can be used in various ways. A. You can call to see where you stand on items that you submitted mail or e-mail bids on, given this information you can either increase your bid(s), or stand pat. B. If you forgot to submit a bid sheet or at the last minute decide to bid on an item you can do so by phone. Please have your bidder number and item numbers ready when bidding by phone. 910-686-4711

YOU MAY CALL OR E-MAIL YOUR BIDS IN ANYTIME. BIDDING STARTS MARCH 5th
