A silent auction works like a live auction, in that the
person who bids the highest wins the item.
In a silent auction, the bidding is conducted on bid sheets, without an
auctioneer. At 7:45 pm, the bidding will
close for the Class Plates, and then at 8 pm for the rest of the auction items.
The winners of the silent auction items will be posted at the Taconic Restaurant
on or about 8 pm. We will process the
winning bids (you can pay by check, credit card, or cash) and take the item(s)
home with you. If you must leave before 8 pm, please leave your credit card on file
with a WESE representative. Please
note that donor values indicated are donor estimates and not warranted for tax
purposes or fair market value. Each
bidder recognizes and agrees that WESE, WES, and/or the Berkshire Taconic
Community Foundation cannot be held responsible for any personal injury or
property damage resulting from the use of any auction item or purchase.
