How It Works

Register an account (free)

  • Click on Register to create an account
  • Enter your email, username, first and last name, and phone number, then click "Create new account".
  • Check your email for a return email confirmation and click on the enclosed link to create a password. And you are set.

Forgot your Password

  • At login enter your email then click 'reset password'. Do not attempt to create a new account with that email.

Browse items

  • You can browse by 'all items', 'categories' or by item number.
  • Clicking on an item will take you to the item photo, description, donor info, and the bid box.
  • You can browse items without an account, but you cannot bid on items without an account.

Bidding on items

  • Bidding commences on Thursday, November 9 at 10:00 a.m. and ends on Thursday, November 16 at 8:00 p.m.
  • Once logged in you will be able to place bids on selected items.
  • Bids are in preset minimum increments: $2 increment for items with retail value of $99 or less; $5 increment for items $100 - $199; $10 increment for items $200 and more.
  • You will be notified by email if you are outbid.
  • To find your items click on ‘my account’. You will see all the items you have bid on as well as any item on your watchlist. Add an item to your watchlist by clicking the ‘add to watch list' link.

NEW FEATURE: New feature - Auto Bid - is the ability to set your maximum bid on an item. If you are outbid your bid will increase by the appropriate increment up to your maximum so you don't have to keep going back to raise your bid. Of course you will be notified if your maximum is exceeded by someone else.
