Building Bridges to the Future
Welcome to the Saint Monica Dads' Club Casino Night On-Line Auction. Many of the items that were previously available only at Casino Night are now available for bidding here.
The items are organized by category. If you do not see a category or do not see items you want, come back often, as items will be added daily through the weekend. If items are not shown here by the end of the weekend, they will be available only at Casino Night.
Please note that items for bid here will close April,1 2008 at 10PM. They will not carry over to the event. If you are attending the event, we will add your purchases to your event invoice. If you are not attending the event, we will email your invoice and charge the credit card registered here.
Thank you for visiting our site!
Notes on the Closing of the Auction
1)This is an extended auction.
An extended auction is one which "extends" past the scheduled closing time. This happens when there is bidding within the last 5 minutes of the auction. When this occurs, the system automatically continues the auction until there is no bidding activity for 5 minutes.
This feature simulates a "live" auction and helps eliminate "sniping". Sniping is last second bidding without the ability to counter bid. It creates more of a true auction feel, effectively simulating the Auctioneer saying...Going once, going twice.....Sold!
Extended bidding applies to ALL items in the auction. However, items are extended on an item-by-item basis. Therefore, extending the closing on one item does not affect other items.
2) The closing is staggered. The auction begins closing at 10 PM CST, but each item is spaced 6 seconds apart to prevent the system from becoming overloaded. The extended auction rule above takes effect within the 5 minute window of each item. See the individual item for its scheduled ended time.
