Description

THIS IS THE HOUSE THAT GENERAL HOSPITAL FANS BUILT!

Bid on a chance to join Brandon Barash and Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity for a very special private build event on Saturday, December 12, 2009 in the Los Angeles area.

You and three guests will put your hardhats on, pick up your hammers and spend the day building a house with cast members from daytime’s hottest soap opera. Together, you will put in your "sweat equity" alongside a Habitat for Humanity partner homeowner family as you build a safe and decent, energy efficient home for a deserving family in need. If you are unable to bid in the auction (or even if you are!), please visit www.habitatla.org/gh. You can make a donation towards "THE HOUSE THAT GENERAL HOSPITAL FANS BUILT," leave a message on the blog and send a message to the family that will be placed in their new sustainable home. Every dollar counts and no donation is too big or too small. Your donation of just $5 provides a box of nails to be used in the construction and we need LOTS of nails to build this house!

No building experience is necessary! Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity will provide safety training, hardhats, all necessary tools, trained crew leaders and everything else you may need! Get your friends together and bid often! 100% of the proceeds from this auction and all donations raised through www.habitatla.org/gh go directly to fund "THE HOUSE THAT GENERAL HOSPITAL FANS BUILT" in Los Angeles, CA. We need your help! Join us as we build a home for the holidays.

Several other GH cast members are also participating in this auction (click HERE to see who else is building!) and exact onsite participation times of each cast member has not yet been determined. While it is possible that many will be on site simultaneously, attendance of all cast members at all times is not guaranteed. Your bid is a binding contract, and if you bid and win more than one auction, your credit card will be charged for the full amount of each auction, whether or not the experiences will take place simultaneously.

The proceeds for this item benefit Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity

Terms: This invitation only build will take place on Saturday, December 12, 2009. Building will begin promptly at 8 AM and will conclude at approximately 3 PM. In order to be on the Habitat for Humanity build site and participate in this exclusive event, you must be 18 years of age or older. Exact location will be disclosed to the auction winner the day prior to the build. No travel expenses or accommodations will be provided. If for any reason Brandon is not available on December 12, 2009, best efforts will be made to coordinate another mutually agreeable date for you to build with him, between December 12, 2009-December 12, 2010. If Brandon is not available during this time period, the deadline may be extended at his discretion. No other recourse will be provided for any reason. Respect for the cast members generously volunteering their time and the Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity staff, crew leaders, volunteers and partner families will be expected at all times. Inappropriate behavior by any member of the winning party could result in the immediate conclusion of the experience with no refund. Winner may bring personal camera but must follow Habitat for Humanity safety guidelines while on site. A photo opportunity with Brandon will be provided for the winner and their guests while on site. No video cameras please, still photography only. Winner will be contacted immediately following the auction.

Before You Bid

Your bid is a contract

All bids placed on the charitybuzz® Auctions website are legally binding. If you are the successful bidder, you will enter into a legal contract to purchase the item and will be considered the buyer of the lot.

How to Bid

Steps to take before you place a bid:

  • If you haven't already, register for an account.
  • Browse the website for items of interest.
  • Once you have clicked into the lot description page, the "Place a Bid" box will appear on your right.
  • You must be logged into charitybuzz.com in order to bid. You will see the Current Bid and the Minimum Next Bid. To bid this amount, simply click the "Bid Now" button. A "Confirm Your Bid" box will appear confirming the Bid Price. If okay, hit Confirm. From here you can Return to Auction, check Your Active Lots, or Log-Out.
  • Due to the charitable nature of this auction, charitybuzz® has waived all buyer's premiums, commissions and fees.
  • If you have been Outbid, you have the opportunity to continue bidding. You will also be notified by email.
  • Overtime or "Popcorn" Bidding: Bids placed within 10 minutes prior to a lot's scheduled closing time will extend the closing time on that lot an additional 10 minutes. All lots will close when there have been no bids placed within the last remaining 10 minutes.

Bids are a binding contract. If you have any questions on any terms and conditions, we encourage you to email info@charitybuzz.com or call 203.226.8306 and speak with one of our auction specialists before you place a bid.

Max Bid

Max bidding allows you to bid the maximum amount you wish to bid for an auction lot. Your maximum bid won't be displayed to other bidders, but will be displayed as the current bid based on the bidding increment. The following example illustrates max bidding:

  1. Auction Lot 1000 has a current bid of $0. The minimum bid is $250.
  2. Juan places and confirms a maximum bid of $500. Juan's bid is displayed as $250.
  3. Sally places a bid of $300 and is notified that the bid was not accepted because it did not exceed the maximum bid.
  4. Juan's next bid is automatically increased to the next bidding increment of $350.
  5. If no other bids are placed, Juan is the winner at $350.
  6. If Juan's $500 max bid is overtaken by another bidder, he will receive an outbid notice.

For further clarification please email info@charitybuzz.com with any questions.

liveBid

In addition to an online auction, charities frequently conduct a live gala and feature a live auction at the event. For the auction lots that are included in the online auction and the live auction, we note them with "liveBID" in the lot description, and we close the online bidding the day of the live auction. We contact the highest bidder on those liveBID lots by phone to see if they want us to continue bidding on their behalf at the live auction. We can bid for you one of two ways:

  • You can fill out your maximum bid online and we will bid UP TO this amount for you during the live auction. We will stop bidding for you when your maximum bid is reached.
  • You can give us your contact phone number for the live event and one of our personable charitybuzz staff will stay on the phone with you while the bidding takes place. You must be registered of course to be part of liveBID. We will contact you if you are the winning bidder immediately after the auction. Please email info@charitybuzz.com with any questions.

ReserveBID

ReserveBID is a way for donors/charities to ensure that items do not sell below their value. Some items will start at a lower opening bid price to encourage bidding; however items that display "ReserveBID not met" below the current bid are not obligated to be sold to the highest bidder. Bidding must surpass the set reserve price in order to sell; therefore once "ReserveBID not met" disappears, the item is valid for sale at the current bid posted. Reserve prices are confidential and will not be revealed to bidders.

Premium Lot Registration

We value your confidentiality and security. In order to bid on lots over $5,000.00 your designated credit card will be validated for $5,000.00. No payments will be deducted from your account for this credit card verification.
