Auction Rules and Procedures

General Procedures:

The auction will be open from Sunday, March 14th 2010 at 12:00:00 PM central time until Sunday, March 21st 2010 at 12:00:00 PM central time.

ALL proceeds from this auction benefit Cici Fischer and will be paid directly to Jenny Fischer.

Bidding:

All participants must register in order to bid. You will be registering with your active email address and an encrypted password of your choice. The email gives us a way to identify/contact you regarding your bids and items. No payment information will be required at this time.

Each item has a minimum bid price (reserve) and a minimum bid-up increment between 50 cents and 3 dollars.

Please do not bid unless you are serious about purchasing the item.

Winning/Purchasing:

At the close of the auction, winning bidders will be contacted and will be able to pay for their items by check, money order or PayPal to Cici's family under her mother's name, Jenny Fischer. Please do not send cash.

You will be contacted within 24 hours of auction's close if you are a winner of an item or service. Winners will have 48 hours from that contact to respond, letting us know your payment plans (check, money order or PayPal and date you plan to pay). If 48 hours go by without a response, after that time, second place bidders will be contacted and the item will be offered to the second place bidder.

Once a paying winner is determined, Jenny or a designated assistant will contact the donor to let her know the address of the final winner.

Donors, please send your item to the winner after you have heard word that payment has been received. Jenny, or a designated assistant, will contact you.

Getting your Item:

Your item will be mailed to you after your payment to Jenny has been received. The donor of the item assumes responsibility for shipping costs (this is in order to keep things as uncomplicated as possible) unless otherwise noted. What we mean by this: For this auction, donors are able to assign a fair shipping fee *or* include shipping as a part of their donation. Therefore, there may be a flat fee for shipping noted in an item's description. Please check for this before bidding. Any declared flat fees for shipping are paid back to the donor/mailer of the item after the shipment has been made. This is in order to show our appreciation to donors who are freely giving of things that may be costly to ship-- thanks for all you do.
