Hey guys this is a great thread. I have done silent auctions in the past and our biggest donations came on the Bahamas Cruise and Stay. I know you veterans are like hey thats Fun Time Voucher and is Adam pushing Fun Time again. No this was actually long before i had joined Fun Time we did a silent auction in my mother -in-laws church. In 20 minutes of bidding we raised $3000 so the event was a success and I think the cruise and stay netted $1200. The one problem I have with silent auctions is that fact that sometimes people get out of hand and bid too much. They forget about having processing fees and taxes in addition to what they bid. This happens even when the terms and conditions are spelled out. We like to just do raffles it works better in the end for us.
Adam
