How does the auction
work?
There are two parts to the auction:
1. The “Silent Auction”
The auction committee is excited to announce it is bidding farewell to
paper bid sheets! During registration you will be given a handheld device
pre-loaded with every auction item. You can bid on items from anywhere and at
anytime during the event. The device allows you to place maximum bids, view
items with no bids, watch favorite items and you will receive instant outbid
alerts! All of the Silent Auction items will be on display at the auction. Bidpal
representatives will be available throughout the night for any questions.
Look for the people with Bidpal Lanyards.
2. The “Live Auction”
Following the “Silent Auction”, the Live Auction will begin.
At the start of The “Live Auction” you may bid on any item by raising your
bidder number (located on the back of your catalog). The order of flow is listed in the auction
program. We have a professional auctioneer who starts the bidding and the fun
going between bidders.
