Online Auction Bidding Info & Tips
At noon on Monday, September 23rd, bidding will OPEN!
Items available for bidding can be found under the AUCTION ITEMS tab.
To buy an unspecified bottle of red or white wine, look under the INSTABUY tab and scroll to the bottom of the page. A limited quantity of red and white wine is available for purchase varying in value from $30-$100.
Also under the INSTABUY tab, chances to win various items such as reserved parking for Christmas & Easter Masses, gift cards, and even a catered dinner for 25 people!!! At the end of the auction, the computer will randomly select a winner for each individual item. Think of these purchases like you would a raffle ticket.
If you see a BUYOUT button on any item and want to purchase it instead of bidding on it, click that button, and it will be yours.
The credit card that you use to register will be automatically charged at the end of the auction for all items won, all chances purchased under the instabuy tab and all bottles of wine purchased. No other form of payment (cash or check) will be accepted.
The Auction will close at 5pm on Saturday, Sept 28th. Winning bidders will receive a text or email stating the items that they have won. All items may be picked up from the Parish Hall on SUNDAY, Sept 29th from 9-10:30am, 12-1pm, and 2:30-3:30pm.
Happy Bidding!!!
