• Once the auction is declared closed, the last bid entered on the bid sheet that adheres to the designated bidding increment will constitute the winning bid and will be so marked. The Event Committee will mediate any disputes among bidders and that determination shall be final.

BEAUTY BY THE BOOK ACCESSORIES & SHOE SWAP

You can swap up to ten (10) new, unused or very gently used pairs of shoes and accessories (jewelry, scarves, handbags, belts, shawls, gloves, sunglasses, etc.)

Items received in a less than gently used condition will be returned to you. “If you wouldn’t lend it to your best friend, do not bring it.”

Drop off up to 10 items to swap at the NAFCON Women’s Ministry table on Sundays (Jan 1, 8, 15), Wednesdays (Jan 4, 11, 18) or between 9:00 and 9:30 a.m. on the day of the event. We encourage you to drop off items before Jan 15th, but they will be accepted until 9:30 a.m. on the day of the event.

Each item dropped off earns you one “Swap Buck” to be used the day of the event.

For regular NAFCON attendees: Your items should be dropped off in a bag with your name clearly written on or on a paper inside. “Swap Bucks” can be picked up at the Women’s Ministry table after your items are sorted. They will be in an envelope with your name on it. “Swap Bucks” will be available for pick-up until Jan 18th for all items dropped off by Jan 15th. Otherwise, they must be picked up the day of the event.

For guests attending the event: their items should be dropped off in a bag with a self addressed envelope inside. If your items are dropped off before Jan 15th, your “Swap Bucks” will be mailed to you. Otherwise, they must be picked up the day of the event.

“Swap Bucks” will be numbered and distributed in the order of items received. The earlier you drop off your items, the earlier you get to shop the day of the event! All items will be neatly displayed in the worship center the day of the event.
