General Rules
& Information
- Please inspect items before bidding.
All sales are final. No refunds or exchanges will
be given by the donor or Warwick River Christian
School (WRCS) for any reason. All items are sold
“as is” and are without warranty unless
furnished by the manufacturer.
- Warwick River Christian School
has endeavored to catalog and describe the items
correctly but neither warrants nor represents and
shall in no event be responsible for the correctness
of the description, genuineness, authorship, provenance
or condition of the property.
All items must be paid for in full before the buyer
claims articles or leaves the auction.
- Payments are due by the conclusion
of the evening. Personal checks and cash are accepted.
Checks should be made payable to WRCS.
It is the responsibility of the winning bidder to
remove purchases from the premises the night of
the auction. If later pickup is absolutely necessary,
make arrangements at the check-out table.
- The Warwick River Christian
School Auction Committee reserves the right to withdraw
any item from sale prior to the call for bids. The
WRCS Auction Committee reserves the right to set
minimum bid and bid increment amounts on certain
items.
- Bidders are encouraged to bid
generously for the benefit of the school, as the
auction is a school fundraiser. Successful bidders
may request a letter from the school confirming
purchases above estimated market value. Any amount
paid in excess of market value is tax-deductible
and considered a charitable contribution to Warwick
River Christian School.
- No refunds will be allowed on
travel packages for canceled tickets and accommodations.
- All items or services must be
redeemed within one calendar year unless otherwise
stated.
Silent Auction Rules
- The Silent Auction, located
on the lower level, will open at 6:30 p.m. and will
start closing at
7:30 p.m.
- Each item has a bid sheet(s),
which includes a beginning bid amount and bid increments.
Any bid that does not meet these requirements is
invalid and will be removed from the bid sheet.
The final bid number with the highest value bid
on the final sheet wins.
- To place a bid, write your assigned
bid number, received at check-in, and bid amount
in the designated space provided. A bid number written
on the bid sheet constitutes a legal contract to
purchase.
- At Silent Auction closing, each
bid sheet will immediately be marked as closed and
then removed from the table. Bid sheets will be
replaced and recorded by index cards marked with
item descriptions and the final winning bid. No
bids may be posted after closing of the auction
and will not be accepted. Winning bidder for each
item should pick up the corresponding index card
and present it at the cashier’s table. The
cashier will total all sheets for which one payment
can be made. Winners may pick up their items after
payment is received.
Live Auction Rules
- The Live Auction will begin
at 8:00 p.m. on the entrance level.
- Signify your bid by holding
up your bid card so the auctioneer can see your
bid number.
- In the event of a challenge
during the Live Auction, the auctioneer will have
the sole decision on the final bid. This may include
determining the successful bidder, bidding increment,
or re-offering/reselling any item in dispute.
Cashier’s Table will open
shortly after all Silent Auction items have completed.
