Silent Auction Guidelines

The Silent Auction will begin at 6:30pm on April 24th. The Silent Auction will close at approximately 9:00PM– during an announced break from the Live Auction.

The Bernese community, its fanciers, clubs, breeders, exhibitors and companion dog owners who support the BMDCA Health Fund goals have generously donated items for bid. 

All items are subject to a starting bid. We reserve the right to remove any item at any time. All sales are final. No warranties are made with respect to the value or quality of the merchandise or services auctioned. Any additional restrictions are listed on the bid sheet identifying the specific item or included in the descriptions provided by our auctioneer.

Items up for bidding in the Silent Auction will be numbered and will have starting bids listed on the Item Bid Sheet. For any items you wish to bid on, print your name, phone number and bid amount. As bidding will take place throughout the evening, be sure to continually check the items you have bid on. Each bid must exceed the previous bid by at least the bid increment amount indicated on the Item Bid Sheet. Those that do not exceed by the required amount will be removed from the bidding.

Winning bidders may pick up their item(s) from the Silent Auction after the Silent Auction closes. Winning bidders of items from the Live Auction may pick up their items after the bidding has been completed for their specific items. Personal checks, credit cards and cash will be accepted for payment. It is each winning bidder’s responsibility to remove all items by the close of the auction. The 2008 BMDCA Health Fund Auction will not be responsible for items left behind at the event. Items are purchased and sold "as is" and the winning bidder assumes all responsibility and liability. Please follow instructions given by volunteers throughout the checkout process to ensure a timely checkout.

Thank you for participating in the BMDCA 2008 Health Fund Auctions. Your donations and winning bids make a difference in the future health of the BMD breed.
