A) MARKET VALUE: This is the value placed on the item by the retailer or auction item donor.

B) PlACING A BID:

The Opening or Minimum Bid that will be accepted is clearly stated on the Item description page as the staring bid. This is normally sixty percent of the retail value. You may place an opening bid on any item that does not currently have and opening bid.

Place a Higher Bid by entering a higher amount then the current bid price listed by the minimum increment required.

Bids were accepted only until 12:00 midnight (CDT)- Saturday, July 21st.

C) BUY-IT -NOW BID
Many items will show a BUY-IT -NOW Bid price. This is normally 150% of the retail value.

If you really want an item, or you really want to help support Rein in Sarcoma (your donation over 100% of retail value is considered a tax deductible contribution to RIS-the tax deductible amount is indicted with each BUY-IT -NOW listing ), you can place a bid at or higher then the BUY-IT -NOW Bid listed and the item is yours, Now !

There is no need to wait for others to out bid you or to have to wait for the results of the actual silent auction on July 23rd to see if you have won! Remember, generally all of the amount you bid that is over the full market value listed is considered a fully tax deductible contribution to Rein In Sarcoma.
