Explanation of the Silent
Auction
Bidding will take place over the two day show with the bidding closing at
3:00 pm on Sunday.
Bidders can enter bids in set increments above the highest bid. The
historical Society will execute "left" bids at the necessary level. In
other words, if an individual wants to "leave" a bid of $800 on an item that has
a current bid of $400 with $50 increments, the Society will bid $450 for that
person. If a second individual bids $500 on the item, the Society will bid
$550 for the first individual using the "left" bid of $800, and so forth.
Each item will have an attractive starting bid.
