The Rochester Dojo is holding a Silent Auction to help fund the Steve Ridley Memorial Scholarship Fund. Articles have been donated for
sale in the auction by Aikido students and friends of Steve Ridley. The auction is being run on the bid-sale model, all bids are sealed and the highest bid wins. Bidders from all walks of life are invited to participate and 100% of
all proceeds will be used for the scholarship funds. If you would like to donate an item for the auction, please contact
us.
The next close of bids will be in December, 2007 . In person bids will be accepted until the announcement event which will be held at the Rochester Dojo after the 10am class, email bids are due the night before. Please join us for refreshments at the dojo. Winners not present will be contacted following the event.

Questions?
F.A.Q.
How do I place a bid?
You may email your sealed bid or attend the silent auction in person.
Are bids like those on ebay?
No, since this is for charity your bid is the amount you will donate if you are the winner.
How do I know my bid was accepted?
You will receive an email confirming your bid was received. Since this is a manual process, it may take 24hrs to get a response to you as I do have a job and a long honey-do list.
How do I know if I am the high bidder?
Since we are using a bid-sale model, all bids are sealed until the auction close. The winning bids will be revealed July 7th. Ties will be broken by draw of the hat. I will try to keep a count of bids updated under each picture.
Can I have the item shipped to me?
Yes, we will be happy to ship anywhere in the US. We ask that you pay for the exact shipping charges and you may request any
carrier (Fede/UPS/US Postal, etc). No handling charges apply unless noted. Aikidoka from other dojos can ask that we bring the items to the upcoming Summer Camp.
How do I pay?
You may use cash, NYS check, money order or contact us to use Paypal.
Some of the pictures aren't that great, why?
Yes. I am an engineer and have no artistic bone in my body. The items are all quality, most are hand made with great care.
My browser warned me about coming to this page from the Dojo website, why?
The main Dojo website is professionally hosted. For ease of access, these two pages and the pictures are hosted on my personal space.
