Question-------------there are two basic ways to do a silent auction--------------which method are they using?
One way is a sure fire loss and the other a much better method. The loser method is to have an enclose container into which a person drops his bid. You have NO idea what the next guy bid------------and way too much chance of several identical bids.
The second much better method is to have a printed sheet, sometimes with minimum bids listed, where each successive bidder ups the previous bid. This method is much improved from the first type-----------but not at all a guarantee of any decent income for the benefit.
And I guess I missed the info, what is the benefit for?
