You will be given your own number, which you can then write on the sheet relevant to the item you wish to bid on, along with the amount you wish to bid. View the auction items at the venue. A bid sheet will be provided for each item with a notation of a starting bid and a minimum bid jump. Bid on an item by writing the amount you would like to bid and your registration number on the bid sheet. Go back periodically to the items to see whether you've been outbid. As the auction period continues throughout the evening, more people sign bid sheets, and the prices increase. Write a new amount if you're willing to increase the bid, and write your number on the bid sheet again. Wait for the closing of the auction to be announced by the evening's MC Ronnie Phillips (approximately 9:45 pm). Successful bidders will be announced at approximately 10:15 pm. Before you leave, go to the registration desk to pay for the item(s) you won in the auction. You may pay by cash, cheque or EFTPOS.
