Bidding Rules

Plain terms, so nobody is surprised at the close.

How bidding works

  1. You enter a maximum, not a bid. We bid on your behalf only what is needed to lead, and raise automatically as others come in, never past your maximum.
  2. Minimum raises step with the price: $25 under $500, $50 to $1,500, $100 to $5,000, $250 to $10,000, $500 above.
  3. Nothing can be sniped. A bid in the final 3 minutes extends that lot by 3 minutes. A lot closes only after it has been quiet for that long.
  4. You are told the moment you are outbid, by email. Watch your inbox during the auction. Nothing goes out by text.
  5. Bidding closes 2026-10-03 20:30 Eastern, during the Closing Dinner.
  6. A bid is a commitment to buy. Bids cannot be retracted.

Paying and collecting

  • No card is taken to bid. Winners are invoiced after the close, payable within 5 days.
  • Items ship or are collected as stated on each lot. Shipping is included where a lot says so.
  • All sales are final. Items are sold as described, with no warranty.

Tax

National Black Golf Hall of Fame is a 501(c)(3) organization, Tax ID 26-2420132.

Every lot publishes its fair market value before bidding opens. Under IRS rules a payment to a charity in exchange for goods is deductible only to the extent it exceeds that value. Several lots here open BELOW their fair market value, so a winning bid may carry no deduction at all. Your receipt will state the winning bid, the fair market value, and the difference.
