Auction Guidelines

1. All bidding requires a bid number. Patrons can register at the entrance tables. Use of this number constitutes a legal contract to purchase. Successful bidders will be entered into the computer by the auctioneer staff.
2. For Silent Auction bidding, please follow minimum raise amounts for a valid bid.
3. Items can be retrieved by showing a receipt of payment.
4. Certificates and multiple items will be available at the cashier in the Big Tent. All items are required to be removed from the premises unless special arrangements have been made.

6. Please note expiration dates and special time restraints on gift certificates. These may not be redeemed for cash and are for the sole use of the successful bidder. They are not for resale. Most products or services must be claimed or utilized within one year of the auction day, unless otherwise stated.
7. Description of items have been made with every reasonable effort to describe each item correctly, but all items are sold “where is” and “as is” by Priest Lake People Helping People- Charity Auction. Item photos and pictures in the Auction catalog are not necessarily exactly representative of the actual item. Value of items is set by the donor.
