What reason was given for deleting the winning bid?
I had a row with the landlord at the end as there was no thanks given to any winners. I actually won 5 lots as it was for our local hospice. With drink inside me I am known to love an auction and I like to support local charities.I never saw any terms and conditions don't suppose you need them.
What is annoying is I bought 2 lots as presents for guys who work for me.
So you won some stuff had a drunken argument with the landlord about him not saying thanks who kicked you out and cancelled your bids.
In my experience it's normally the drunk person who's being a cock; and that experience as both the drunk and sober person.
I'd say the landlord had every right to do what he did morally and probably legally too.
I'm sure there's some clause somewhere that says "the landlords decision is final".

Sometimes throwing money around at a local charity event sucks all the fun out of it for the other people present. The landlord might have been thinking about future events. Show yourself as a good guy and make a donation to the charity in question. You might get treated differently next time.

Sealed bids , highest wins .
It was a silent auction. That means there is a piece of paper on a table with the lot detailed and you write down the amount you want to pay. It's just like a normal auction but there is no talking.The next person puts down there bid. At a set time they take the piece of paper away Not difficult to understand.

An auction where no-one knows who's bidding, as it's effectively private, and you get upset at not being recognised as the highest bidder?
If you want to be known as the high bidder don't go to a closed auction.
Why comment when you don't know what your talking about.If you want to be known as the high bidder don't go to a closed auction.
What part of the thread said it was aclosed auction

I pledged a reasonable sum of money for items.( one lot because no one bid) The charity is now down by the difference from my bids to the lower bids.In my experience it's normally the drunk person who's being a cock; and that experience as both the drunk and sober person.

Your right drunks generally are cocks and I aint saying I wasn't on the night but one could argue why serve drinks in the first place if you can't take some cra-

Moral of the story - never attend a charity auction that has complimentary alcohol or is held at a hotel or pub.
I remember going to one with work years ago and people went way over the odds for things like signed hat by Rory Mcillroy went for £500 when the going rate is about £80
Uh, the clue is in the word Charity......I remember going to one with work years ago and people went way over the odds for things like signed hat by Rory Mcillroy went for £500 when the going rate is about £80
People pay over the odds as the profits go to charity...
