YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT CONTINUES TO FUND OUR LOCAL TROOP!
The first priority was a new trailer for carrying troop equipment. The local Troop purchased an enclosed trailer for $7,000 and it’s up and in use.
Funds received from these auctions pay nearly every cost that a scout would otherwise have. Biggest expense is summer camp fee to Boxwell; this summer, $350 for each scout. Funding also pays for troop food on monthly campouts; this totals about $200 a month.
We also provide funding to Cut Scout Pack 511; these young scouts provide assistance for various events. $5,000 to them this past year.
We have agreed to donate $1,000 to Pinewood Church of Christ to create a bench in memory of Greg McCord (longtime supporter and former Scout Leader). Our scouts will be involved with the construction of this Memorial Bench.
We also speak regularly about a high adventure trip like the Boundary Waters 50-miler we did a decade ago; that was $7,000.
Keeping our Scouts active, involved and supported continues to be our focus. Thank you for your continued financial support.

Each Bidder’s determination of its bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s) and independent investigation, rather than the any reliance as to what is represented in the Bidding Catalog, online or elsewhere. Bidder affirms that it regards any statements made by David Hudgins / Hudgins Auctions concerning the item as solely opinion and that Bidder is making its own inspection and independent evaluation of the goods, and is not relying upon any description or statements by David Hudgins / Hudgins Auctions (including as to quality, authenticity, provenance, ownership, on goods legality, or value) in making its determination to bid on or purchase an item. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price.
David Hudgins / Hudgins Auctions IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the maximum (plus the Buyer’s Premium) that the Bidder is willing and able to pay. By bidding in this sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment.
Due diligence is the responsibility of the Bidder/Buyer. All sales are final – no credit card chargebacks will be allowed. Buyers assume complete responsibility for care of each purchase at time of sale – that is when the bidding ends on our website and you are the high bidder.
The auctioneer reserves the right to add or remove items from the auction, to split or combine lots, to add minimum bids or reserve prices, to cancel, suspend, extend or reschedule an individual item and/or auction event, or to make changes to the auction closing, inspection, or removal times. (at the direction and to the benefit of the Seller / Client)
NO BUYERS PREMIUM: For this benefit / fundraising online auction, NO buyer’s premium will be added to any purchase.
AUCTION INFORMATION
AUCTION CLOSING: The closing time of this auction will be listed within the auction information page of our website. The published “Bid-Ending Time” is a START TO END time; online auctions with multiple lots can take over an hour to end.
Our auctions feature EXTENDED BIDDING. Bidding will extend on a lot for 60 seconds past the closing time of that individual lot if a bid has been placed on that lot within the last 60 seconds of the auction. That lot will remain open until there are no bids on that item during the extended time. This only affects lots with last minute bids. Any lot not bid on in the last 60 seconds will close as scheduled. Once the timer runs out, the lot will close. If you are unsure how much time is left to bid on an item, you can check the countdown timer for the lot you are interested in. Extending the end time for an item does not change the end time of the following item, so lots may end out of sequence.
There are occasions when we use Extend all bidding in an auction. In this case, ALL OR MULTIPLE lots are extended if a bid is placed in the last 60 seconds of the auction.
This auction features MAXIMUM BIDDING. When you place your MAX BID, the current bid price does not automatically go to your max bid. Someone else has to bid to increase the current price and the computer will automatically bid up to your max in the increments specified. If someone has already entered a MAX BID on an item you are bidding on, the system will automatically bid for you until you are the current high Bidder or you reach your MAX BID. If you have reached your MAX BID and are still not the current high Bidder, the system will give you the opportunity to enter another MAX BID. You will receive outbid notices via email, but you can also choose to have them sent to your cell phone via text message. If you are not able to be around a computer/mobile device during the closing of the auction or receive and/or read your outbid notices, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND you enter your MAX BID when bidding. Please remember, you can always raise your max bid, but you CANNOT lower it. Be aware of this while bidding. If you have any questions please call us at 931-994-7144.
Bids will be placed in the order that they are received. If 2 buyers enter a max bid of the same dollar amount, the buyer who entered his/her max FIRST will be the bidder that is in at that price. If you bid a certain amount and see that the bid is indeed that amount, but you are not the 'Winning Bidder', that means that someone else had a max bid of that same amount and so their bid was placed into the system ahead of yours. The best way to know if you are outbid is to check your email as you should get an email every time you are outbid.
You will receive outbid notices via email. When registering for your online bidding account, you can choose to have them sent to your cell phone via text message as well. If you are not able to be around a computer/ mobile device during the closing of the auction or receive and/or read your outbid notices, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND you utilize the max bidding feature. Please remember, you can always raise your max bid, but you CANNOT lower it.
