Can’t join us on August 3 but still want to bid in the auction? Submit your Proxy Bid!
Here’s how it works:
Step 1:
Request or download a PURPLE ROSE PROXY BIDDING FORM.
Step 2:
Complete the Proxy Bidding Form indicating the highest value you are willing to pay.
Example: if a starting bid is $100 and you are willing to pay a maximum of $300.
Submit your bid by form no later than 12 noon on Friday, August 1 with payment information.
Step 3:
The night of the Auction, our volunteers will act on behalf of the proxy bidders following the incremental bid structure for each item.
They will not immediately offer up your maximum bid.
They will try to get the best deal for you and therefore continue to bid on your behalf until you either win or you are outbid.
Here’s an example:
You want to bid on a package valued at $100. You submit a maximum proxy bid of $200. The highest onsite bid is $150. The incremental bid price is $10 increments. The volunteer will attempt to win the package for $160 on your behalf.
Step 4:
You will receive an email from The Purple Rose no later than Monday, August 4 to confirm that you are the winner. Your items will be mailed no later than 7 days after the event.
