Auctions at Booth Ready
Built by a 20-year professional fundraising auctioneer. Structured bid lines, smart starting bids, proven increments, and a 110% Buy-It-Now line that captures the donor/buyer who just wants the item — and pays a premium for the privilege.
How it works
Fill out a short intake form — organization, event name, branding, and your auction items. Five minutes, tops.
Twenty years of auctioneering goes into every sheet — proven starting bids, increments, and Buy-It-Now math that maximizes giving.
You receive print-ready PDFs and the source workbook. Set them out at your event and watch donors/buyers bid with confidence.
Why it works
Starting at 30–50% of fair market value invites bidders in without leaving money on the table. Too high, and the sheet sits blank. Too low, and the room never warms up.
10–15% increments keep bidding active without skipping over price points. Donors and buyers alike read the next number, glance at the last one, and pick up the pen.
The donor/buyer who must have the item will pay a 10% premium for certainty. That single line, on every sheet, lifts the average sale meaningfully — and it's where most amateur sheets leave money on the table.
Ten to fifteen structured lines means the sheet looks busy by the second bidder. Social proof. Momentum. The next person picks up the pen.

"I was a professional fundraising auctioneer for over twenty years, and I used a program just like this one. The bid sheet does more work than the auctioneer does — when it's built right."
