Auction Bidding: How it Works

The Silent Auction will be held in the Porter Community Room from 6:00 to 7:50 p.m., and then concluding in the main gallery at approximately 9:20. • The Silent Auction is divided into four sections. All sections

open at 6:00 p.m., though closing times vary: 7:30, 7:40, and 7:50; the final section will close 15 minutes after the Live Auction ends. The closing time for each item is listed at the top of the catalog page on which it is described.

• To bid on an item, write your bidder number (provided upon your arrival) next to one of the preprinted dollar amounts on the bid sheet. You do not have to bid sequentially; feel free to skip ahead.

• Many items have a “Guaranteed Purchase” price at the bottom of the bid sheet. If you bid at this level, you win the item—no one can outbid you!

• The highest—or winning—bidder is determined at the close of each item’s section. You may check your status after closing by consulting the duplicate bid sheet left in place.

• If you wish to leave before the conclusion of the auction, the Cashier’s Desk will be ready for early checkout by approximately 8:30 p.m. Early checkout is only available if your winning bids are in the first three sections of the Silent Auction.

• You may pay by check, cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover.

• The Live Auction will begin at the conclusion of the Silent Auction in the main gallery. To place a bid, raise your bidder card when the auctioneer calls the amount you wish to bid. If you are the highest (winning) bidder, keep your card raised until your number has been called and recorded.

11

Auction Guidelines

The following guidelines are in place to help ensure that this event is enjoyable for guests, a positive experience for donors, and a successful fundraiser for the Museum.

• All auction sales are final and “as is”; there are no

exchanges or refunds. Before bidding, please carefully note any restrictions or limitations, indicated or implied. Donors typically estimate the value of each item.

• Services must be used within one year of the auction date, unless otherwise specified. Please arrange deliveries and appointments directly with the donor if not otherwise noted.

• All private home, resort, or vacation offerings are intended for adults and their families, if allowed. Adults must accompany minors. These items are not transferable, except by permission of the donor. You will be responsible for any damages incurred.

• Winning bidders of getaways are responsible for making their own travel arrangements. We cannot guarantee that multiple opportunities will be available at the same time.

• If you break an item during the auction, you will be financially responsible for the item’s value or the current bid level, whichever is higher.

• In general, your purchase is a confidential transaction with the Montshire Museum. However, in some cases, your name and contact information must be provided to a donor in order for you to redeem your item or service.

• All items must be paid for in full and removed by 11 p.m. on auction night, unless you have made other arrangements with Museum staff. You may pay by check, cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover at the Cashier’s Desk.

Services as diverse as our clients and as specific as their needs.

Founded in 1986, Tyler, Simms & St. Sauveur, CPAs, P.C. has grown to become the largest CPA firm headquartered in the Upper Connecticut River Valley of New Hampshire and Vermont.

With over 50 employees dedicated to the broad range of clients and mix of services seldom seen in a local firm, we have experience and expertise to assist our clients in meeting their goals, whether individuals or business entities, for profit or non-profit, regardless of their size or industry.

At TSS we recognize that diversity is just as important in our industry as it is in yours. It is no longer sufficient for a CPA to be simply a preparer of financial statements and tax returns. CPAs today need to be business consultants, advisors, planners and strategists. We need to be knowledgeable not only in accounting and tax law, but also in business analysis and valuation, estate planning, employee benefit administration and much more.
