All about the auction!
How do I participate?
** Please check your spam for the login code email if you do not see it in your inbox.
Should my spouse and I share a bidder number?
Absolutely! We recommend sharing a bidder number so that you can both be logged in and bid but not bid against each other. Unless you are the competitive sort and want to bid against your partner, and we say more power to you! Once you have both registered or bought tickets, contact Kyle at [email protected] or 775-233-2827 and let him know you'd like to bid together. You will receive bidding alerts on both phones. Purchases made on either phone will go on the same invoice at the end of the night.
When is bidding?
The silent auction will open virtually on Friday, March 6th, and will close on Friday, March 13th. The collaborative art pieces will be live auctioned at the event on March 13th.
How do I know I won?
After the auction ends, go to Hamburger Icon > Checkout to see your winnings and purchases.
When do I pay for and pick up my items?
At the event. We ask that you take home all items when you leave the event. Your card will be charged when you pick up your items. You may also pay with cash or check. If any items are left behind, we will charge your card and contact you to pick them up. If you are unable to attend but win items, we will charge your card and then contact you in the following days for pickup.
What if my phone stops working at the auction?
We are here to help! We can enter bids for you manually. Volunteers will be floating with IPads and can assist if you are having technical issues. You can place a Max Bid with a volunteer which allows the system to raise the bid on your behalf up to the amount of the Max Bid, that way you don't have to keep finding a volunteer to place multiple bids every time you are outbid.
What is "Max Bid"?
Max bidding gives you the ability to place a bid for the highest amount you are willing to pay on a particular item and hold that bid without letting any other bidder know that there is a max bid set. When someone else sees the item that has a max bid placed on it they will see the amount that anyone has tried placing a regular bid on. If they try to place a regular bid they will have a red note that shows them the amount they bid is not available.
