  • Winners will be announced beginning at 12 noon on May 16, 2023 at the Livingston Public Library. Winners need not be present to win. Winners will be contacted via phone and/or email.

  • 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).

  • 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 units are available, all price/value information shown is for a single unit. Please place your bid for a single unit but indicate how many you want. If you leave the number of units requested blank, we will assume the bid is for one item.

  • On or around May 1, the current high bid will be posted weeknights on the website. On May 16, the final posting of high 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 new high bids may not be 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 16 or 17. For information purposes, final winning bid amounts will also be posted the afternoon of May 16. Winners will have until Saturday, May 20, 2023 at 2:00 pm to make arrangements for payment and receipt of item. After that time, the next highest bidder will be contacted.

  • 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.
