Other guests can see the latest bid and add a higher bid directly underneath. When the auction is over, the organizers can look at the latest bid to determine the winner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technically, bid sheets can be as simple as a blank piece of paper beside each auction item. However, there are certain pieces of information you can include on your bid sheets to make sure that your auction runs smoothly, and that everyone involved has a positive experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ll go over what to include on your silent auction bid sheet next.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What To Include On a Silent Auction Bid Sheet<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve decided to create your own silent auction bid sheet, make sure it includes the essentials. This will make it easy and enjoyable for your guests to participate in the auction, and it&#8217;ll also help you stay organized when it comes to a close.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what to include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Title and description of item:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These should match (or be a shorter version) of what you\u2019ll put on your item description sheets. Make sure they grab your guests\u2019 attention and entice them to pace a bid.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Item number:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you\u2019ll be displaying an item number in front of each auction item, be sure to note this number on the bid sheets, as well. This will help ensure that guests are filling out the correct bid sheet.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b>Item value:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is how much the item is worth. Seeing a high value item can encourage guests to place bids, in hopes of getting a good deal.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><b>Starting bid<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The first bidder must place a bid amount that is equal to or exceeds the starting bid. The starting bid should reflect the item\u2019s value and can have a similar effect on its appeal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><b>Minimum raise:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The subsequent bidders must place bids that are a certain amount higher than the previous bid. Again, this depends on the item\u2019s value.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><b> \u201cBuy now\u201d price:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If a guest has their heart set on an item, they can purchase it at the \u201cbuy now\u201d price and end the bidding.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><b>Blanks fields for bidder number and bid amount:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is where guests will place their bids by writing down their bidder number (which they would receive at registration) and their bid amount. Some bid sheets ask bidders to write down their name and contact information, but most guests prefer the anonymity and privacy that using a bidder number provides.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Use a Silent Auction Bid Sheet<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your bid sheets are ready, here\u2019s how you and your guests will use them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organizer<\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Place the bid sheets beside each of your auction items<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Announce the start of the auction and encourage guests to start bidding<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ensure volunteers are in place to monitor bidding and help answer any questions<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Remove unqualified bids (for example, ones that don\u2019t meet the minimum raise amount)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Announce the end of bidding<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Review bid sheets and identify the winning bids<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Announce the winners<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Receive payment, issue receipts, and coordinate item pick-up or delivery\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bidder<\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Register your name and contact information and receive a bidder number<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Browse the auction items and identify ones you\u2019re interested in bidding on<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Consider the item\u2019s value and the \u201cbuy now\u201d price<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Take note of the starting bid\/minimum increase and decide on a bid amount<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Write your bidder number and bid amount on the bid sheet<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Check the bid sheet a few times throughout the event to see if anyone has outbid you and whether or not you\u2019d like to place another bid<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Wait for the auction to close and for the winners to be announced\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Organize a Silent Auction<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should now have everything you need to prepare a simple and functional silent auction bid sheet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for more tips and advice on how to organize a silent auction for your nonprofit?
