Auctions

Organizers

You set the auction up, hand tools to volunteers, run the night from one screen and settle up after.

Draft. These pages describe the auction night as it is being built. Some screens are not released yet, and the pictures use sample data.

  • Set up the auctionCreate it, add items, set close times, choose when cards are charged.
  • Run the nightAdd volunteers, watch Tonight, start the live program, close the auction.
  • Room screensWhat the venue screens show, and how to put them up.
  • After the nightSettle up, split a bill, read the report.

Three things to know first

  • A ticket makes a bidder. A guest who buys a ticket saves their card at checkout and gets a paddle number. There is no separate sign-up to bid.
  • Closing does not charge anyone. Bidding closes section by section. Cards are charged later, at the time you choose, and guests are told that time when they win.
  • Volunteers do not need a login. You pick a person, tick the tools they may use, and they get a sign-in link by email.
