The Silent Auction and How it Works

The cost of each item is the reserve bid indicated on the bid sheet.
Attendees bid the item up in increments of $5.00 to $10.00 until the Final Bid is determined at the close of the sale.  The difference between the Final Bid and the cost (reserve bid) goes directly to your cause/charity.

There can be variations to the program, determined by unique cases and opportunities, but these details can all be discussed prior to the event.

Key Elements of the Silent Auction:

• Attendance: the more attendees the greater the competitive spirit and return;

• Community Support: Members of the community help drive attendance and success;

• Location: an accessible location, made comfortable to the bidder that has items fully displayed to the attendees is important for success.

• Variety: a wide range of unique and beautiful items to appeal to all tastes. This diversity promotes greater interest and greater potential bidding.

Raffle Prizes: at many silent or live auctions a raffle Prize is offered, where tickets are purchased and everyone has a chance to win the item. This encourages participation even from those who may not bid through the normal process.

Corporate Events: the silent auction works extremely well at corporate events, providing a unique venue that encourages participation from attendees. It allows the corporation to support their favourite charity and gives your Team a spirit building event, while also providing the opportunity for people to bid on unique items.

The Live Auction

The Live Auction differs little from the Silent Auction. The Cost price of the item is the starting bid and the highest bidder wins the auction. The difference between the bid and cost is figured as in the Silent Auction.
