How it works

01

Find an auction

Browse live auctions from organizations in your community. Each has a countdown clock — when it hits zero, the highest bidder wins.

02

Place your bid

Enter any amount at or above the minimum increment. Bids update in real time — if you're outbid, you'll get an instant notification.

03

Win and pick up

Highest bid when the clock runs out wins. Pay securely online and pick up your item at the organization's location.

Built for fair, stress-free bidding

Proxy bidding

Set your max and we auto-bid for you up to your limit. Your max stays private.

Outbid alerts

Get an SMS or email the moment someone outbids you, so you never miss a chance.

Popcorn timer

A late bid extends the clock by 2:30 — giving everyone a fair shot at the last bid.

Secure checkout

Pay online via Stripe when you win. Simple, safe, no cash exchanges.
