How to place absentee and phone bids
Even if you are not able to attend the 9th annual Friends of Friends
Photography Auction on December 13, 2005, you will be able to bid on
any photograph and silent auction item by filling out the absentee and
phone bid form and mailing or faxing it to Friends Without A Border
by December 13, 3:00pm.
The auctioneer will accept bids from those present at the auction in
addition to absentee and phone bids. Live bids may be executed lower
than the top bid you place. If matching bids have been entered by two
or more parties, the first bid received by Friends will take precedence.
Friends Staff, Board Members and Volunteers may bid at the auction for
themselves, or they may execute bids for absentees.
Absentee and phone bids must be submitted with valid credit card information
in advance. In the case the absentee bid is successful the credit card
will be charged on the night of the auction. Placing an absentee bid
is considered authorization for this transaction.
To place a phone bid, please indicate this on your bid form. You must
provide us with a phone number where you can be reached the night of
the auction, Tuesday December 13, 2005 from 6pm to 8:30pm EST, and the
lots that you are interested in bidding on. In case of any problem with
phone lines, we advise you to provide emergency bids on the form. You
will be contacted one hour before your first lot will be auctioned and
you will be bidding live via telephone with other bidders during the
live auction.
Silent auction items are available only for live and absentee bids,
not phone bids.
Important Notice
Admission ticket/bidder number for the auction is $50. Payment by check
or cash is preferred.
Payment for all work is due the night of the auction without exception.
