AUCTION RULES & INFORMATION
1. Each guest will receive a bid number upon arrival.
Write your number on the bid sheet when bidding on
silent auction items, and raise your number to bid on
live auction items. Be prepared to bid when price call is
made by the auctioneer, as the process moves quickly.
2. In accordance with laws of the State of Washington,
a bid acknowledged by the live auctioneer is a legal
contract to purchase the item, and a bid acknowledged
by the silent auction official as the top bid is a legal
contract to purchase that silent auction item. By bidding
in the live or silent auction, each bidder agrees to
abide by the auction rules here stated.
3. The BANK will open to receive payments beginning
at 9:00 p.m. Please pay for all purchases before 10:30
p.m. We will gladly accept your payment by cash,
personal or corporate check, VISA, American Express,
MasterCard or Discover. Please make all checks
payable to Museum of Glass. A receipt suitable for
tax purposes will be mailed to you following the event.
Payment in full is required on the evening of Red Hot,
Saturday, September 21, 2013. (Avoid the lines--see
Express Banking procedures.)
4. All purchases/transactions at Red Hot are exempt
from sales tax. All other taxes and licenses are the
