Value of Auction Items
San Domenico School and the Parent Service Association do not appraise or estimate the fair market value of auction items. All statements of value appearing in the catalog and on the web have been furnished in good faith by the donors.
All property is sold "As Is". San Domenico School and the Parent Service Association are not responsible for the accuracy of the description, authenticity or condition of any item.
In determining whether any part of the price paid for an auction item constitutes a charitable contribution, the buyer is reminded that the charitable contribution is limited to the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the item. Items are valued by the donor. Consult your tax advisor for further fair market value information and tax advice.
This information is made available to supporters of the fundraiser so they are made aware of applicable laws; however, San Domenico School and the Parent Service Association are not responsible for the tax consequences of any auction transaction. Persons should seek advice from their own consultants regarding individual tax situations.
Consortia
Some Live Auction items lend themselves to group bidding known as consortia. These bids are formed by groups who agree to allow one person to bid for the members. It is best to organize these groups before the auction and have all members agree upon a maximum amount they will authorize their bidder to offer. The authorized bidder bids with his bid number and is recorded as the winner if the consortium's bid is the highest.
Payment must be made in full by the authorized bidder on April 1, 2017. To provide a charitable deduction to all members of the consortia (if the purchase price is over the fair market value), the members must provide break down payment information at the conclusion of the Live Auction.

All payments are to be made in full the week of April 3,2017, by cash, check, VISA or MasterCard. Credit cards (provided at check in) will be processed for online auction winning bids in accordance to the policies posted online, and for live auction/gala night items during the two week of March 7-. Checks are preferred.
Auction checkout/pickup for winning bidders will be held the second week following the Event. Items must be picked up on April 19, 21, 25, or 27, 2017 (7:45 - 8:30 and 2:30 to 3:30) at the Uniform Closet in the basement of the library.
