Max Bidding Information

Max Bidding allows your online bidders to set the maximum amount they are willing to spend on a Package so that the system can bid on their behalf up to the Max Bid. This means they don't have to continually monitor the Package and manually place bids as others bid against them. They only need to act if someone places a bid higher than their Max Bid.

What You Can Expect

This year’s auction will use Greater Giving Online Bidding – allowing for a paperless bidding system. You will bid using your smartphone or tablet on silent auction items. Also, you can easily track Packages by “following” their activity without having to continuously return to a table or bid sheet.
