2018 Silent Auction - On-Site Silent Auction Bidding is now Open!
Bidding is now open for the items listed below.
To place a bid before the show, just send an email to info@ameraucanabreedersclub.org, with "Silent Auction" in the subject line, with your bid amount, the item(s) on which you are bidding, and your complete mailing address. All bids are sealed until October 6th, 2018, when the winner of each item will be announced. Bids must be received by 10/5/18 at 5PM EST.
To place a bid at the show, bid cards will be available at the ABC table. Just fill it out, with your bid amount and name, and place it in the envelope for the item of your choice.
The winning bids will be announced after judging is complete for the ABC National and the winning bidders may take their wins home. Please note: birds offered in the On-Site Silent Auction are also entered in the show and may not be removed until all judging is complete.
The Winner must be present to win! If the highest bidder is not present at the show, the next highest bid will be drawn.

If you are an ABC member and would like to donate something to the Onsite Silent Auction, email me at info@ameraucanabreedersclub.org, as soon as possible. We will take donations up to 10/1/18. All bids are sealed, no one knows who has the high bid or what the high bid is until the envelopes are opened at the National.
You must be present at the Dayton Fancy Feathers Show to win! You do not need to be a member of the ABC to bid!
You can bid as many times as you want. While onsite bidders will have up until the auction ends to enter a bid, offsite bidders must submit their bids to info@ameraucanabreedersclub.org by Friday, Oct 5th at 5PM EST. Send your bid with the following in the subject line: "Silent Onsite Auction Bid", and please include your name, street address, city/state/zip, and phone number, along with the item you are bidding on and the amount of your bid in the body of the email. NOTE: No bids will be accepted without a physical street address!
In the case of more than one bid having the same amount and being the highest bid, those bids with the highest bid on them will be folded up, put back in the envelope, and one bid will be drawn (with the exception of the ABC tote, where the first 6 highest bidders will receive a tote). So, for example, three people bid $50 on the same item and $50 is the highest bid on that item. Those three bids are folded up - so no one can see the names - and placed back into the envelope. Larry Clionski, or his appointed representative, will draw one of those bids and that becomes the winning bid after judging is complete.
All winning bids must be completed and paid for before removing the items.
All proceeds from this Silent Auction are used for next year's National Meet.
