Silent Auction Directions The online website is: www.32auctions.com/2016DWTSFM Preparing to Bid 1. Each bidder must create an account and login to 32Auctions. 2. No payment information is necessary in this step. Bidding Rules 1. Bidders do NOT have to be present to win. 2. Each item has a starting bid and an incremental bidding amount. There are pictures of most items along with descriptions. 3. Bidding is open 24/7. Auction closes 9:30 pm on Saturday, February 13th. At that point, the auction is closed. HOWEVER, if an item is "outbid" after 9:27 pm, then that item will remain open for an additional 3 minutes (until 9:33 pm). If there is not another bid, the bidding for this item closes. If the item is outbid within 3 minutes, then the item will remain open. ALL BIDDING - no matter what - CLOSES at 10:00 pm on Saturday, February 13th. 4. Exact Bids – This is a one-time bid for the amount that you specify. 5. Proxy Bids – Allow 32Auctions to bid for you! By placing a proxy bid, the bidder enters the maximum amount he wishes to pay for that item. As others bid on that item, 32Auctions will bid for you up to your maximum (or Proxy) Bid amount. NOTE: Maximum bid amounts are confidential unless you are outbid. 6. In looking at the bidding history, 2 people may appear to have bid the same amount. In this case, 32Auctions considers the first person who placed that amount as the “winning” bid. For that reason, all Proxy Bids will “win” or “outbid” Exact bid amounts. Auction Winners 1.
