Auction Guidelines

Payment

1. All payments shall be by cash, credit card, certified check, or personal check made payable to KIDS Center. We accept VISA, Mastercard, and American Express credit cards.

2. Full payment must be made for all purchases at the conclusion of the Auction, unless payment arrangements have been made, such as payment to be coming from a stock or fund.

3. Cashiers, located in the check-in area, will accept payment after the auction, unless Purchaser has previously opted to use the Quick Check-Out method (below).

Quick Check-In and Check-Out

Quick Check-In saves time by eliminating the need to stop and pay at the Check-Out area at the end of the Auction.

1. At registration, swipe your MasterCard, VISA or American Express card, or give your credit card information to the cashier. NO CHARGES will be issued to your card unless you make purchases or donations. If you opted to keep a credit card on file from your ticket purchase, that credit card will be verified at check-in for easy checkout and payment.

2. Maximize the impact of your gift by covering your 3% credit card processing fee. Just let us know at check-in! (Cork & Barrel credit card fees cost KIDS Center almost $15,000 each year!)

3. Please verify your cell phone number to receive your unique bidding link. This will ensure only you and your authorized bidders are accessing your account for the Online Auction.

4. At the end of the evening, simply proceed to Check Out in the lobby (the same area where you checked in) to verify and claim your purchases. If no purchases are made, your card will not be charged, and any voided blank checks will be returned to you by mail.
