Silent Auction Rules

1. The Silent Auction begins at 4:00 p.m. All items in the Silent Auction have bid sheets nearby.

2. Bids start at a minimum amount shown on the bid sheet. You may bid by writing your bid number and amount of bid on the bid sheet. Each increase in bid must be equal to or exceed the minimum increase figure stated on the sheet. Invalid bids will be disallowed.

3. Closing times for each Silent Auction table are posted. Closing times will be strictly adhered to with no changes allowed in the posted closing times. The closing bid circled by the Tiger Auction and Dinner staff constitutes the winning bid.

4. Tiger Auction and Dinner staff will act as final authority on all sales.

5. Any problems with a purchased item should be directed to the FHSU Athletic Office at 785-628-4050, not to the donor of the item.

6. All items sold during the Silent Auction should be removed on the evening of the Auction or between 11:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 20.

7. No bid sheets are to be removed from any table except by the Tiger Auction and Dinner staff at the time the table is closed.

8. Gift certificates will be available at checkout.

9. If you have any questions about the procedure for the Silent Auction, please feel free to ask any of the Tiger Auction and Dinner staff working at the Silent Auction tables.

Silent Auction Table Bid-Off’s

If two or more people are bidding on a silent auction item down to the final seconds, the auction committee will close the table and then allow the bidders to write down their maximum bid for the item. The highest “blind” bidder will win the item.

Tips for a quick & easy checkout

Please allow thirty (30) minutes for the cashier table to process paperwork after your last item has been purchased in the silent and/or live auction. If you try to checkout immediately, the item will not yet be posted.
