Electronic Bidding Instructions:

• You will receive a text message and/or an email message with a link directing you to the mobile bidding site.
• To verify your name, select the "Yes!" button.
• Search packages by number, keyword, or category and select the package you wish to bid on. You can bid the next increment, set a max bid, or build a "Watch" list to watch packages that you might be interested in bidding on later.
• Placing a max bid works just like eBay. If your max bid is the highest, the system will automatically bid in your favor until you are outbid or until the silent auction closes. 
• To place a straight bid, uncheck the max bidding box to turn the max bid feature off. If you are out-bid, you will receive an outbid text message.
• To get back to the main screen, tap the 🏠 icon.
• To go to your list of bids and open items you are currently winning, select the ☰ menu navigation button and select “My List.”
• To find out what packages have no bids, select “No Bid Packages.”
• The auction will close at 8:00 pm, Saturday April 17. Be sure to watch the event timer in the middle of your screen to get your final bids in before the auction closes.
• Please email michelle@bolderevents.com for help with online bidding. For quick and easy checkout - please input your credit card information during gala registration. If no purchases are made, no charge will be made on your card. After final processing all credit card information will be deleted from the system. 
• If you are the highest bidder on any items that are taxable, the tax amount will be added to your invoice. 

LIVE AUCTION

• The Live Auction will happen during our live program on April 17.
• Once the auctioneer mentions that a live auction item is open, you can then bid on that item through your mobile device until the bidding war is over. 
• Bidding on live auction items is the same process as bidding on silent auction items.
• Acceptance of the high bid becomes a binding obligation to purchase. The auctioneer will announce the close of bidding and the highest bidder online will receive the item.
