Bidding Instructions

How to Bid

1. When you are ready to place a bid, simply enter the bidder number that is located on your name badge to log in.
2. After you are logged in, there are 2 ways to make a bid:
   1. Place a bid by the minimum amount required
   2. Place a maximum bid on that item. - The system bids for you against other bidders until your maximum bid is reached. Once your maximum bid has been exceeded, you are no longer bidding on that item until you place a new bid.
3. Once your bid has been placed you will immediately be notified if you are the current highest bidder, or if you have been out bid by another bidder's maximum bid.

Bidding Locations

• Electronic Bidsheets - These are located in front of each item in the silent auction and replace the traditional paper bidsheet.
• Bidding Kiosks - In several locations there are bidding kiosks. At a kiosk, a bidder will be able to check the status of all of their bids, increase their bids if they've been outbid, browse the entire auction catalog and place new bids, or make a donation.
• Handheld Bidding Devices - There are a limited number of handheld bidding devices available. If you are interested in checking out a handheld bidding device please notify a volunteer when you check-in. If a hand held bidding device is available we will be able to check it out to you but cannot guarantee availability.
