Welcome to the First Annual Towsonopoly Tournament and Gala
featuring a fabulous silent Auction!
Thank you for your interest in the “Advance On-line Silent Auction.”
This year’s auction is being held in conjunction with the 2010 Towsonopoly Tournament and Gala on November 6, 2010 at the Towson University
Marriott Conference Hotel. Since not everyone will be able to attend the Tournament, although we would welcome more players, we are opening
the bidding to on-line participation, so that everyone has a chance to win these incredible; one-of-a-kind, chance-of-a-lifetime items. You are
invited to participate in—and win!— the items offered in this auction, even if you cannot attend the event.
How to bid:
Each of these items listed will also be offered at the auction on the night of November 6, 2010.
The highest price for each item offered during the advance on-line bidding will be noted as an “absentee” bid that night. If no higher bids
are received during the auction, the online bidder wins!
Unless you’re at the event in person, you won’t have a chance to raise your bid, so be sure to send in your best offer prior to the close of on-line
bidding at 4 p.m. EST Friday, November 5.
All advance on-line bids must be or e-mailed to [email protected]. Provide your name, auction item number and bid.
