Description

Join dozens of former Survivor castaways the weekend of July 9-11, 2010 for the Survivor Castaways 10-Year Reunion Party on Catalina Island, CA for all former castaways on CBS’ hit show Survivor.

Survivor's nineteenth and twentieth editions were filmed back-to-back in Samoa over the summer, with the twentieth edition -- which CBS has thus far only formally termed a "10th anniversary edition" but will be an all-stars edition featuring contestants from the reality competition's previous seasons - will air in January 2010 and conclude at the end of May 2010.

In the following month after the finale, a Survivor castaway 10-year reunion party will take place on a private 57-acre camp positioned on Catalina Island's most expansive beach off the coast of Los Angeles in sunny Southern California. We have over 100 former Survivor castaways from all 20 seasons gathering for this event – from the first winner and first voted off to the most recent winner - and everything in between - as well as current and former producers, production assistants and casting staff from the actual show.

Here’s what you’re bidding on:

Exclusive Access – Unless you’re a former contestant/producer on Survivor, you can’t get into this event any other way. With a show that still garners an audience of over 20 million viewers weekly, and is broadcast in over 80 countries worldwide, this a rare opportunity to be a part of an event with so many recognizable and relatable former Survivor castaways from the last 10 years in attendance. You will get exclusive access to the weekend’s events for two people.

Boat Transportation - Boat transportation to/from Catalina Island from the Long Beach, CA port via a chartered ship. Ride takes approximately an hour and twenty minutes each way and leaves Long Beach Friday morning, 7/9/2010, and leaves Catalina Island Sunday, 7/11/2010, returning to Long Beach, CA. The ship will anchor at our private beach so we will not be utilizing any ground transportation. If you need airfare, you'll have to get that on your own additional dime.

Weekend Lodging - Accommodations are in the rustic camp with winners of these tickets receiving weekend lodging in upgraded 2-person, beachfront cottages with lighting, electricity, and wi-fi internet access. Restrooms with electricity and hot showers as well as laundry facilities are centrally located near the tent cabin area.

All Meals - Hearty home cooked meals are served three times daily in the main lodge. Meals include Friday lunch and dinner; breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday; and breakfast on Sunday.

All Snacks - Nutritious snacks and junk food will be available all day long (trail mix, snack bars, fresh fruit, organic nuts, chocolate, etc).

All Beverages - Cold water, iced tea, sodas, Vitamin Water, beers and cocktails on ice will be available all day long so drink up!

Use of All Equipment - Unlimited use of all camp equipment includes snorkeling gear, kayaking boats and gear (80 kayaks), fishing gear, surfing gear, hiking gear, wetsuits, use of telescopes for astronomy, movies on the beach, basketball, volleyball, board games (chess, monopoly, rummikub, etc), etc.

Internet Access - There is free wi-fi in certain locations around the camp.

Saturday Night Party - On Saturday night, join in the main event with a giant bonfire with s'mores, a fun dessert bar, an informal Q&A (hosted by a special surprise guest) in our outdoor amphitheater, DJ S, meet and greets with old Survivor producers/production staff, talk to press (E!, CBS Early Show, etc), and a fun castaway talent show!

Scavenger Hunt - Everybody gets an opportunity to take part in the Scavenger Hunt on Saturday. You can work together in teams or take on the hunt individually....but it won't be easy! The winner gets an awesome prize package from our sponsors, and there will be some cool 2nd and 3rd place prizes also.

Gift Bag - Everybody gets a gift bag with stuff you'll actually use. Sunblock, lip balm, board games, beverages, snacks, etc.

Medics - A fully staffed medical team is on-site 24 hours a day with emergency procedures in place.

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 (212) 243-3900 and speak with one of our auction specialists before you place a bid.

Overtime Bid

Why did the auction closing time extend by 10 minutes after I placed my bid? This is called "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. This gives all bidders an opportunity to place a competing bid. All lots will close when there have been no bids placed within the last remaining 10 minutes.

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

What does liveBID mean in the auction title and description?

In addition to an online auction, charities frequently conduct live galas 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 bidders on those liveBID lots by phone to see if the bidders want us to continue bidding on their behalf at the live auction.

In addition, a live gala may also include a silent auction. In these cases, charitybuzz bidders can bid online for silent auction items along with the guests at the event. These items remain open online until they close at the event. Winning bidders will be notified via email when credit card charges are processed. Please note that silent auction items do not support the Max Bid feature. The amount you bid will be registered as the next bid regardless of increment, so please bid carefully.

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.
