I called, too, and received a slightly different story. I was told that they will be accepting "sealed" silent bids throughout the two day sale. Sometime, near the end of the sale on Saturday, they will review the bids and notify the high bidder. That's what the lady that answered the phone said, but please don't hold me to it if it's wrong.

..you may be right....after reading their email again, it seems that the presale is one event and the auction may be as you stated....they didn't give me nearly that much detailed info so it appeared to me that the set was going to be offered in the presale.... so what i glean from all this is, if you go to the presale, you can drop off your bid.....but you won't know you are the highest bidder till the end. I also assume this silent auction only applies to the bamboo set and the rest is up for grabs at the presale....

....all of this has given me a headache...to the point at which i no longer care about this set anymore...a simple sale should not be this confusing...

..best of luck to those of you that are going to give it a shot.....
