Silent Auction Booklet

Very important details

1. Your bid is a contract. Do not bid if you cannot pay to attend.

2. You must register and submit a valid credit card to receive a bidding number, either online or at the auction registration table. Your bidder number, unique to you, can be used both for oncampus and online bidding. Bidding without one will void your bid. Volunteers can explain the financial guidelines for participating in the auction.

3. Registering as a bidder does not obligate you to make a purchase. You will only be invoiced if you are a winning bidder.

4. Each bidder must bid on a separate line. If you are a couple or family, please use a separate line for each person. We cannot add extra seats to an event if a couple’s or family’s bids are split, so bid accordingly (i.e., high) if you really want all individuals to attend. The only exception is the family-pricing events – one line is a bid for the adult, who may bring as many children as indicated for that particular event.

5. When you are raising a bid, raise by a multiple of the defined increment for that event. Events raise by a $2 or $5 increment.

6. Do not erase, cross out or in any other way change an entered bid. See point #1! If you decide to raise your bid while a previous bid of yours is still in play, ask a volunteer wearing a chef’s hat to cross out the previous bid for you.

7. CALENDARS and PAYMENTS: Check your calendars before bidding. If you win an event seat/spot but then find you are unable to attend, honor the hosts by gifting or reselling your spot to a friend or family member. No refunds will be given. All sales are final. All payments are processed the week after the auction closes. No deferred payments.

8. TWO PLACES TO BID: As mentioned above, make sure that you don’t bid for the same event online and oncampus – the bids are completely separate and you might win in both places!

Thank you for supporting your community by participating!

9. All proceeds from the Gourmets for God auction benefit the Center for Spiritual Living, Seattle.

Auction etiquette Please honor the generous hosts who have planned and organized for months to offer you a fabulous experience! Imagine slicing and dicing for days, and setting a striking table for eight, and then two individuals just don’t show up. It’s heartbreaking! If you cannot attend an event, please do everything possible to fill your seat by gifting or selling the spot to another excited guest – they’ll thank you for it!

Bidding/planning strategies

Keep an eye on your bids – if one event gets a bit “spendy” and you no longer wish to continue bidding on it, knowing this early gives you time to get in on another event! (It can be very disappointing to get excited about your potential events, and then get outbid on them, and end up with nothing…)

Note: All auction events assume no smoking, no alcohol served, no pets, not handicap accessible (ADA), unless otherwise indicated in the item information.

THANK YOU!

We appreciate all of our generous bidders.

Thanks for supporting our CSL Church and Community.

We appreciate all of our marvelous, generous hosts and chefs.

Make sure you have your calendar close when you’re bidding. Some individuals like to spread their anticipated events throughout the year. Others like to bunch them up – two or three events on one weekend – so their other weekends remain free for travel, etc!
