*Fees
for Non Charity Auctions: As of May 1, 2003 , all items sold through Hound's
Bay not benefitting a rescue are subject to a nominal fee of 5% of the
final, winning bid, payable by the seller. This money will be used to
support the costs of running this site and basset rescue. Items that are
sold to raise money for basset rescue, where over 50% of the final,
winning bid will be donated to a legitimate basset rescue organization,
are exempt from this charge. The owner of Hound's Bay has sole discretion
to determine if a rescue organization is 'legitimate' for purposes of
this exemption. Bidding on an item and registering are free on this server.
Seller will be billed automatically at close of auction.

link at the bottom of the page.
A window will open like the graphic to the right.
1) Type in the name of the item up for bid
2) Choose the appropriate category from the drop-down menu
3) If you choose to post a photo of your item, it must be uploaded first
to a web site. If you do not have your own site, you can upload it to
a service like photopoint.com for free. The photo can be no larger than
2.75" x 2.75 inches to fit!
4) This window determines your auction length - from 1 - 14 days.
5) Type in your registered 'handle'
6) Type in your password
7) Fill in the amount you would like people to start bidding on your item.
8) A 'reserve' price is the minimum bid you will allow an item to be 'won'
at. Thus, if someone has and item that they paid $25 on, they might want
to set a 'reserve' at $30 to protect their investment. If there is no
reserve, just leave this blank

Placing a Bid: After clicking on one of the auction items,
the graphic to the right will appear underneath the item description and

immediately to $36. In the bid window, type your minimum bid.
