You may bid on any item as often as you wish. Check back frequently to ensure your bid has not been surpassed.

3. To enter a Live Auction bid, bidder raises his/her bid card, number facing the auctioneer, signaling the bid. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and re-sell the article in dispute. Acknowledged bid constitutes a legally binding commitment by the bidder to purchase the item or service.

4. All sales are “as is” and final. All items must be paid in full before buyer’s departure using cash, personal checks paid to the order of Hope Solutions (formerly Contra Costa Interfaith Housing) or charged to Visa or Master Card.

5. Please read your certificates carefully. Offers have different expiration dates. The purchaser understands that if he/she is unable to claim the auction item or service within the specified period, the amount of the successful bid is a tax-deductible contribution to Hope Solutions and is NOT refundable.

6. Any values quoted are estimates only. Values are not warranted for tax purposes or general value. Hope Solutions has made reasonable efforts to accurately describe all packages but is not liable for inaccuracies in the item descriptions. Amounts paid in excess of the fair market value may be deductible for federal income tax purposes.

Bidders should consult their tax advisors.

7. Group purchases during the Live Auction: several people wishing to bid together on a vacation home or catered dinner shall be represented by one bid number. Members of the group may pay for their portion individually, for tax purposes, at the time of checkout. The holder of the official bid number, however, is ultimately responsible for payment in full that night.

Polish off your dinner and treat yourself and your friends to after-dinner drinks and dessert! The two dessert offerings were made by Hope Solutions' students in the Youth Enrichment program at Garden Park Apartments. Whether you bid on a dozen cupcakes or a delectable cake, dessert comes with a delicious bottle of Joseph Phelps’ dessert wine, Eisrebe or Delice. The Eisrebe is made from the Scheurebe variety that Phelps has worked with for many years, this is an enormously sweet dessert wine. It tastes like apricot liqueur, tangerine jam and honeyed iced tea, with all kinds of spicy, buttery notes. The 2017 Delice is brimming with ripe pear, fragrant white flowers and chamomile followed by intense layers of peach nectar, lemon meringue and candied pineapple; it is nicely textured with bright acidity and a honeyed finish. Savor every morsel and sip knowing your winning bid transforms lives!
