The Rules

  • All Bids and Raffle Ticket Purchases must be received by 11:00 am on May 20, 2020 to be eligible.

  • Winners will be announced beginning at 12 noon on May 20, 2020. Conditions permitting, the public is invited to attend in the Library Program Room. Winners need not be present to win. Winners will be contacted via phone and/or email. If social distancing limitations in effect preclude public attendance, members of the public can visit the website to see winning information. The winning raffle number will be posted. Winning auction amounts will be posted, as will the winner’s 5-character identifier code (this can be any set of letters, numbers, or symbols which bidder will recognize as theirs).

  • Due to current conditions, we are not offering a wide variety of certificates for eateries this year. Friends cannot guarantee that all performances will proceed as offered.

  • Bid in whole dollar amounts only. You may submit multiple bids for any item. Your highest bid will be considered final.

  • Increment & Cap Bidding: You may authorize Friends to automatically increment your bid by a specified dollar amount when a new high bid is received. Specify a limit/cap amount which Friends will not exceed.

  • Buy Now: If you submit the Buy Now amount, you will immediately win the item. You'll receive the item subject to payment and the item will be removed from auction.

  • For items where multiple sets are available, please indicate how many you are bidding on.

  • On or around April 30, the current high bid will be posted weeknights on the website. On May 20, the final posting of bids will take place at approximately 10:30 am. There will be a “quiet phase” from 10:30-11:00 am when bids will be accepted, but not posted. All bids must be received by 11:00 am to be eligible. Automatic incremental bids will continue to be processed between 11:00 am and noon.

  • In the event of a tie among high bids, the winner will be chosen by lottery. Winners will be contacted via phone or email on May 20. For information purposes, final winning bid amounts will also be posted the afternoon of May 20. Winners will have until Saturday, May 24, 2020 at 2:00 pm to make arrangements for payment and receipt of item. After that time, the next highest bidder will be contacted. The winning raffle ticket number will also be posted online.

  • Members of Friends Benefit: For EVERY auction item you bid on (whether or not you win), you'll receive a voucher for a complimentary item from Friends Book Store. Only one voucher per auction item. For every raffle ticket purchased, you’ll receive a voucher for a complimentary item from the Friends Book Store.
