Prospective bidders should inspect the lot page for an item before bidding to determine its condition, size, and whether or not it has been repaired or restored. If that information is not available on the site, prospective bidders assume the responsibility of contacting Charitybuzz to inquire for additional details.

Each Bidder’s decision to bid and determination of their bid amount should be based upon their own examination of the item(s) in question.

A. Entering Bids

To bid, find a lot page, enter a value in the bid box, and click “Bid.” If you click “Bid” on a lot, you will be prompted to either log in to your Charitybuzz account, or create a new one if you do not have one already.

Once you’ve created an account you will be presented with the lot details, conditions of sale, and standard shipping and redemption details. Once you have accepted the Conditions of Sale, you may proceed with placing a bid on that lot. All bids placed for any lot are governed by the Conditions of Sale for that lot.

You may bid at or above the starting bid displayed as the “Current Price” in a lot page’s bid box. The current leading bid, along with a list of a lot’s full bidding history, will be visible to other users. If the status of your bid changes, you will receive notifications via email and push (if you have the Charitybuzz App installed).

B. Cancellation Rights

As soon you place and confirm your bid amount, your bid is submitted. You accept and agree that bids submitted by you are final. Charitybuzz is not responsible or liable for any problems, delays, or other issues resulting from the use of the Internet, including but not limited to transmission, execution, or processing of Bids.

Charitybuzz nor the Seller is responsible for any errors in bidding. A bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot. The Bidder should make sure the bid price they enter (including any taxes or fees) is the price they are willing and able to pay. Once the hammer has fallen and Charitybuzz has announced the winning Bidder, that Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for that lot, even if the Bidder has made an error.

A bid(s) entered by mistake on the part of a bidder is NOT grounds for cancellation of that bid. Each bidder is responsible for his or her own account and bids. In addition, allowing access to another who enters a bid without your knowledge is NOT grounds for cancellation of a bid.

C. Fraudulent Bidding

All Bidders must meet Charitybuzz’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of Charitybuzz may be disqualified at Charitybuzz’s sole discretion and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by Charitybuzz in its sole discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. Charitybuzz reserves the right to exclude any person from the auction.

Bids will not be accepted from minor persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent’s written consent containing an acknowledgement of the conditions herein and indicating their agreement to be bound thereby on behalf of the bidder.

If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid.

Any bidder that represents a purchaser is personally and individually responsible for any obligations of the purchaser set forth in these terms and conditions. All purchasers purchasing pursuant to a valid resale license will need to provide appropriate documentation for removal of state sales tax.

D. Winning & Disputes

The successful bidder is the highest bidder acknowledged by Charitybuzz. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on Charitybuzz’s part as to the validity of any bid, Charitybuzz will have final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the lot in question. If any dispute arises after the sale, Charitybuzz’s sale record is conclusive. While Charitybuzz makes every effort to guarantee accuracy, in the event of an error, and a lot is accidentally declared sold by mistake, Charitybuzz reserves the right to cancel the sale and relist the lot in its sole discretion.

By accepting the Conditions of Sale, Bidder personally and unconditionally guarantees payment.

Title to any lot remains with the Seller, any secured party of the Seller, or assignee of Seller, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by the Bidder. Charitybuzz reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful bidder.

A maximum bid is a secret amount you enter, that represents the maximum amount you are willing to bid. It is higher than the current price and also higher than the next allowable minimum bid amount. If you enter a maximum bid, we’ll bid on your behalf up to that maximum bid amount in response to other bids, according to Charitybuzz’s bidding tiers.

The value and status of your maximum bid will be visible only to you, unless it is the leading bid.

Charitybuzz strongly encourages the use of Max Bids to increase your chances of winning.

When an auction reaches the final 10 minutes before it closes, any bids received in that final 10 minutes push out the previous close time by an additional 10 minutes. This recurring 10 minute extension is known as “Extended Bidding,” and is signified by a banner above the auction timer on the lot page.

This dynamically extending period is designed to protect against a practice commonly known as “sniping” or “last second bidding” where bidders attempt to enter a quick bid in the final seconds of an auction to secure a win before competing bidders have a chance to counter.

Live bids lots are a special type of auction lot on Charitybuzz. Live bid lots on Charitybuzz are paired with a real world, physical auction, where that real world auction is often scheduled to occur at a later date. You can distinguish Live Bid lots by the “Live Bid” label in the title of the lot, and additional description text at the start of the lots “Overview” tab.

In a Live Bid lot on Charitybuzz, a lot is created that is similar to any other auction lot on the site. These special lots last for similar amounts of time and bidding occurs normally by our users.

Things start to differ after a Charitybuzz Live Bid lot closes. After it closes and the winning bidder is chosen, that winning bidder’s bid amount or (if it exists) the max bid amount associated with that winning bid, are taken and entered into the associated real world auction. For example, if a bidder on Charitybuzz wins at $12,000 with an unrealized max bid of $15,000, then that $15,000 dollar amount is passed on into the real world auction.

Before the winning bidders bid or max bid amount is passed on, someone from Charitybuzz contacts that winner after the Charitybuzz lot closes and before the real world auction opens. This is to confirm if the bidder would like to increase their bid or max bid amount before it’s entered into the real world auction.

What happens during the real world auction? Each individual one may vary. Charitybuzz does not own or operate any real world auctions, nor does Charitybuzz require any partners to follow a specific auction model. We make no claims to the consistency of real world auction experiences and encourage bidders to contact us for more details as needed.

In our experience, real world auctions tied to Charitybuzz Live Bid lots are typically executed by our partners in a few common ways.

In one scenario, if an auction house and an auctioneer is present, winning live bids from Charitybuzz Live Bid lots are treated as “absentee” bids. This normally means that the Charitybuzz winning bid is placed in the auctioneers books as a bid. As the auctioneer conducts the auction, they will bring up and enter the Charitybuzz winning bid during the course of the auction as the current price or next minimum bid value approaches the Charitybuzz winner’s bid amount. In this scenario, other people in the real world room are expected to bid against the auctioneer, not the Charitybuzz winning bidder. If no one is bidding in the room, the auctioneer will typically keep bidding up the price until the Charitybuzz Live Bid winner wins the real world auction.

In other models, an audience member (including, but not limited to a charity partner employee) might act as a proxy for the winning Charitybuzz bidder. They will usually bid on behalf of the winning Charitybuzz Live Bid winner during the normal course of that auction, using whatever means provided for that auction house (i.e. paddles, etc.)

After the auction is completed, someone from Charitybuzz contacts our bidder to let them know the outcome. If that Charitybuzz Live Bid bidder has won, payment occurs as usual. If that Charitybuzz Live Bid bidder did not win, they will be notified accordingly.

A reserve bid is a bid placed by Charitybuzz on behalf of the seller up to the minimum reserve (if applicable). Bids placed by Charitybuzz on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, will be counted toward the total bid count displayed on the lot page’s bid box.

Refunds are rewarded on a case by case basis and at the sole discretion of Charitybuzz, LLC.

Experiences auctioned on Charitybuzz.com go through a specific redemption process to coordinate details and complete. That process normally involves messaging and scheduling between all parties (i.e. winners, charities, sellers, venues). Details discussed include but are not limited to experience dates, arrival procedures, airfare, hotel accommodations, restrictions, will-call requirements, and any other on-site notes. Scheduling requires an initial request sent by the customer, and a followup confirmation submitted by relevant redemption contacts.

By using Charitybuzz to bid and win lots, bidders agree to use the Redemption Center exclusively (where enabled) to message and schedule all experiences – doing so is a requirement of redeeming experiences through Charitybuzz. In addition, bidders agree that they are bound by all site terms of use and auction conditions of sale.

How to Get Into the Magic Castle

In a city of velvet ropes, the Magic Castle is a hot ticket. Located just a few blocks off the Sunset Strip in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, the castle has attracted its fair share of mystery and intrigue since it opened in 1963. Magicians perform close-up tricks and grand illusions in the Magic Castle's multiple theaters, and visitors can also grab drinks at multiple bars, enjoy a meal and admire the castle's mix of spooky and Victorian decor. Visiting the castle isn't as easy as paying admission, however. You have to know someone to get in. This is Hollywood, after all.

Magic Castle passes are highly sought after due to the castle's limited capacity and exclusive nature. To obtain a pass, one must either be a member of the Academy of Magical Arts or be invited by a member. This adds to the allure and excitement surrounding the Magic Castle experience.

Can I visit the Magic Castle?

Officially, the Magic Castle serves as the clubhouse of the Academy of Magical Arts, made up of both magicians themselves and enthusiasts of the art form. The academy has thousands of members, and they're the only ones who have an open invitation to visit the castle.

As a non-member, you can visit the castle as the guest of a member. You'll still have to pay a cover charge of upwards of $20 per person, not to mention the cost of a meal. (Guests of members are required to dine at the castle.) If you know any AMA members, they can connect you with guest passes.

Tip

Love magic and plan to visit LA frequently? You may want to join the AMA. The group accepts non-resident members who live more than 60 miles away. To join as a magician, you'll have to belong to another recognized magical organization. To join as an associate (non-magician), you'll have to join a lengthy waiting list. The Magic Castle keeps its membership costs under wraps, but an annual membership is said to cost many hundreds of dollars.

Once inside the castle, pass holders can also enjoy the club's various bars and restaurants, which offer a luxurious and elegant setting. The castle is not only a place for magic shows but also serves as a gathering spot for magicians and magic enthusiasts to connect and share their passion for the art. The Magic Castle passes offer a truly extraordinary experience for those who are lucky enough to obtain one. The intimate setting, combined with the world-class performances, creates an atmosphere of mystery and astonishment. Each visit to the Magic Castle is a unique and unforgettable experience that keeps visitors coming back for more. In conclusion, Magic Castle passes provide an exclusive opportunity to witness incredible magic shows and performances in the historic and enchanting setting of the Magic Castle. Whether you are a seasoned magician or simply have an interest in the art of magic, a visit to the Magic Castle with a pass is sure to leave you mesmerized and in awe of the wonders of the magical world..

Reviews for "Stepping into the Pages: Castle Passes for Experiencing Famous Literary Castles"

1. Samantha - 2 stars - I was really excited to visit the Magic Castle with my family, but the experience turned out to be quite disappointing. Firstly, the passes were ridiculously expensive and didn't include any additional perks or benefits. Secondly, the crowds inside were unbearable, and we had to wait in long lines for every attraction. The staff members seemed disinterested and unhelpful, and the overall atmosphere was chaotic. The shows were also lackluster, with amateur performers who lacked any real magic skills. I would not recommend spending your money on Magic Castle passes.

2. John - 1 star - My visit to the Magic Castle was a total waste of time and money. The passes were overpriced, and there was no option for a refund or exchange, even though I was extremely dissatisfied with the experience. The attractions were outdated and poorly maintained. The overall vibe of the place was run-down and not at all magical. To add to the disappointment, the staff members were rude and unprofessional. I regret choosing Magic Castle passes as a form of entertainment and would advise others to explore better options.

3. Emily - 2 stars - I had high expectations for the Magic Castle, but unfortunately, it fell short. The passes were incredibly pricey, and I expected a lot more value for my money. The attractions were average at best, with nothing that truly wowed or impressed me. The queues were long, and the lack of organization made the whole experience chaotic and frustrating. The shows were mediocre, lacking the wow-factor that one would expect from a place called Magic Castle. Overall, I left feeling disappointed and let down by the whole experience.
