If you’re new to the Silent Auction Pro bidding process, follow these helpful tips:
- Like eBay, you can enter a maximum amount you are willing to bid on an item. This is called proxy bidding. To place a max bid but let the system bid for you, check the "Proxy Bid" check box prior to placing your bid.
- If you would like to place a bid that is higher than the next valid bid, just make sure the "Use proxy bidding" check box is not checked. Your bid will be placed as the full amount immediately.
- Items now have a Buy-It-Now price! If you want to buy the item immediately at the buy-it-now price, simply check the "Buy it Now" check box and click the "Buy it Now" button.
- In the case of tied bids, the person who entered the bid first wins.
- If your max bid is equal to the Buy-It-Now price but you place it as a proxy bid, someone else may still win that item by using the Buy-It-Now feature. If you are willing to pay the Buy-It-Now price, you should do so immediately to keep from losing that item.
The CORE Silent Auction is fun, exciting, and an excellent opportunity to support restaurant employee families in need! View items and start bidding now!
