1. The Live Auction— which is Saturday night, is usually the bigger ticket items…unusual things, art works, jewelry sometimes…stuff like that. We try to limit it to 2 or 3 items per rescue group.
2. The Silent Auction— which takes place starting Saturday and ends before dinner on Sunday, is all kinds of items, mostly dog related. Baskets, dog beds, crates, x-pens, fun items, dog biscuit assortments, wine, books…anything and everything. We run it like eBay with a buy it now price…that can be bid on early…time to be announced. One there is a buy it now bid (and the price for that is determined by the donor and the rescue), the item is sold. Regular bidding starts after that, and once there is a bid, the buy it now is no longer available. If you’re confused, ask me 🙂 A minute bid is set, and there are increments set. Those tables close on Sunday.
3. The Kids’ Auction—As part of the Silent Auction, there is a special area of “kids tables”. Items that only the kids can bid on…usually priced from about 50 cents to a couple of dollars at most. This is so the kids can bid without the adults outbidding them. On Sunday, at closing, any unsold kids items are open to the adults…time TBD. Items can be toys, books, games, stuffed animals…anything that kids would like. You’ll be surprised how much these items can add up, and it’s a blast for the kids.
