Can anyone take part in the Online Auction?

The auction is open to everyone 18 years and older. However, you must be 21 years and older to bid on any alcohol-related auction packages. We encourage you to share the link with your friends and family.

All participants must register through the GiveSmart portal. REGISTER HERE.
Bidders must pay immediately upon winning and must coordinate pickup of their items/certificates from the Oxford Community Arts Center in Oxford, OH, or pay for domestic shipping. Instructions will be sent to the winner after the auction closes for domestic shipping, only.

How do I start and continue my bidding?

Browse the Silent Auction by clicking "View Items" at ocacoxfordjewel.givesmart.org and start bidding on your favorite items! Place your bid on selected items, set a maximum bid if desired, and GiveSmart will continue to keep you in the running until you reach that maximum bid.

How will I know if I'm outbid or have won an item?

You will be notified via text if you have been outbid. Keep an eye on your favorite items! If you are NOT receiving the text messages, make sure you have the correct mobile phone under your profile. The texts will continue to notify you when you have been outbid or reached your designated maximum bid. When the Silent Auction closes, you will receive a text if you won any items.

I've mistakenly placed a bid. What do I do?

Please ask for help from the OCAC team by emailing ocac@oxarts.org or calling 513-524-8506.

PLEASE NOTE: All winning bids are final.
There will be no exchange or refund on items unless otherwise specified.

May I pay by check or another method of payment?

Winning bidders must pay for items in full by Monday, April 11, 2022

Upon registering, you will be asked to provide credit card information. Bidders will need to allow their winning bid charges to that credit card immediately after the auction closes. Any remaining balances will be charged to the card on file on Monday, April 11, 2022.

If you would like to make arrangements for an alternate payment method, please contact Bonnie Kretschmer at bonnie@oxarts.org or call 513-524-8506 before Monday, April 11. The OCAC accepts only cash, check, or credit card. Please make checks payable to The Oxford Community Arts Center and mail them to 10 South College Ave, Oxford OH 45056.

How do I pick up my items or have them shipped to me?

Your item(s) must be paid in full before arranging for pickup or shipping. We expect the pickup of items within the week following the closing of the Gala. For large items, like the grill or the bike, the OCAC will provide local delivery if you coordinate with our team. Please call the OCAC at 513-524-8506 to schedule.

Pickup of items will be available during designated times. The OCAC will require a signature upon pickup. Instructions will be sent to the winner after the auction closes.

Pickup Times are during normal business hours.

For delivery, the OCAC will add shipping and handling costs to your balance on GiveSmart for you to authorize payment. Once we have received payment confirmation for the shipping costs, we will package the item and choose the mail carrier at our discretion. If you would like to add insurance for the shipment, please let us know and we will add the incremental charge to your GiveSmart card on file.
