Pro Tips
This is our first time doing an online Silent Auction and we’re guessing it might be your first time as well. We’re using 32 Auctions for our auction platform. If you are the winning bidder on Saturday night, you will receive an invoice with a link to easily pay with PayPal or Stripe.
Here are some pro tips:
- Easily view items: Click the auction link to view auction items. View on your phone or computer.
- Watch list: If you see an item you like, you can add it to your watch list by clicking the heart symbol.
- Proxy bidding: You can make an exact bid, or choose to set a proxy bid. To set up a proxy bid, enter the highest bid amount you want to pay for an item. 32 Auctions will then raise one bid increment above any other bids, only up to your proxy bid amount.
- Shipping: Please pay attention to shipping notes in the item description. Many items will have no shipping charge (gift certs and tickets can be sent in the mail or over email). Some items will be shipped to the winner directly from the donating company at no cost to the winning bidder. Other items will be shipped from WMCC to the winner and we will charge shipping fees. There are also a few items that are local pick up only in western MA.
