Absentee Proxy Bidding Rules
Please Read Carefully
Please Read Carefully
1. Absentee bidding is available only for those people who are not attending the event. If you are attending the event, do not send in a bid. You will place your bid in person during the auction.
2. How to send an absentee bid:
a. Absentee bids must be received by Friday, November 8, 2019 at 12:00pm EST.
c. Click the "BID" button below the photo(s) of the item you want to bid on to open a direct email. You will need to click on the "BID" button for each item that you want to bid on so that the subject line of the email shows the name of the item you are bidding on. Please send separate emails for each item you are bidding on.
d. The minimum bid on all items is $100, unless otherwise indicated.
e. In the text of your email, include your full name, mailing address, daytime & evening phone numbers and maximum bid for that item.
f. Bids will not be opened until after 12:00pm on November 8th.
f. Bids will not be opened until after 12:00pm on November 8th.
g. If you wish to change your bid for an item, you may do so until 12:00pm EST on Friday, November 8th. We will accept the last amount that you send.
h. Failure to comply with the instructions will result in your bid being rejected.
h. Failure to comply with the instructions will result in your bid being rejected.
3. Absentee bids should be made in full dollar amounts in increments of $25. If your bid is not an even increment of $25, it will be rounded down (e.g., if your bid is $370, we will bid up to $350 for you in the live auction). Live bids placed at the auction itself may take precedence over absentee bids. If multiple absentee bids are received in the same amount, the earliest bid will take precedence.
4. If you wish to bid on several items, send an individual bid email for each one with the title of the item in the subject line (please use BID button under pictures). If you win multiple items at auction, you will be responsible for payment of all.
5. We will not notify you if you have been outbid by another proxy.
6. If you have the highest bid received on Friday, we will contact you either by phone or email that evening. If we are unable to contact you within a few hours, we will go to the next highest bidder. You will need to give us your credit card number, billing information, and CSV code (the 3 or 4 digits usually on the back of your credit card). We will need this information to process your bid in the event you are the high bidder. The charge will appear on your credit card from MetroDolls and we will email you a receipt.
7. You are responsible for paying MetroDolls all shipping costs including tracking and insurance on item(s) won. This will be charged separately after the event.

8. The auction will be conducted live on Sunday, November 10, 2019. A MetroDolls representative will bid on your behalf up to your maximum amount, in increments above other bidders. For example, if you bid a maximum of $500 for an item and the next highest bidder at the live auction bids $300, you will pay either $350 or $400 (whatever increment the auctioneer decides on).
9. We will notify you by email within a few days after the event if you have won an auction(s) and to let you know the shipping costs to be charged to your account.
10. Values listed with the items are for the bidder's information to determine a tax-deductibility amount of a bid. MetroDolls is a 501c-3 non-profit organization. Please consult your accountant regarding tax deductions for items purchased at charity auctions. Minimum bid is $100, regardless of the item value.
Note to winning bidders: If you have a winning bid and we are unable to charge your credit card, MetroDolls will handle the situation at our discretion.
