Silent Auction Memorabilia
If you are looking for an easy way for your charity to make money, you've come to the right place. A silent auction through Tournament Pros costs you nothing up front! You don't even have to pay for shipping the pieces to you!(You will have to pay $20 a piece to ship any unsold items back to us)
If a silent auction item is bid on, you will receive 10% of the minimum bid for that item! If a bid is placed higher than the minimum bid, you will receive that difference, plus the 10%! For example, let's say the minimum bid is $100. If someone places a $100 bid, the charity will receive $10 for that item. If the winning bid is $200 dollars, the charity will receive the difference of $100, plus $10, for a total of $110!
There is a 15 piece maximum but no minimum. If you would like to order more than 15 pieces, please contact your sales rep. All pieces are subject to availability. If a piece is not available, we will contact you and help select another piece. Please order your pieces at least 3 weeks prior to your event. If your event is less than 3 weeks away, you may still order but special shipping rates may apply, please contact michelle@tournamentpros.com for shipping rates.
Here's how to get started:
- Below, you will find a list of beautiful silent auction items.
- The dollar amount for each silent auction item is the minimum bid.
- Choose which silent auction items you want, and we will ship them out to you at NO CHARGE!(You only have to pay for return shipping if the pieces don't sell). We recommend choosing 10% of your attendees. For instance, if you have 100 attendees, choose 10 items.
- Once you have decided what pieces you want, complete the form below with all your information and which items you would like. A confirmation email will be sent back to you confirming your selections.
- One of our sales people will then contact you to get a credit card number to keep on file. Your items will not be shipped without a credit card on file. Your credit card will not be charged at this time.
- Create some bid sheets that include:
- The name of the charity (could be a logo)
- The name of the silent auction item
- The minimum bid of the silent auction item
- A bid increment (we suggest $20, but it can be whatever you choose)
- A description of the silent auction item, which you can use from this site
- Then some spaces where people can fill out their name, telephone number (any other information you want to collect), and their bid amount for the silent auction item.
- The day after the event, for each silent auction item that did not receive a bid, carefully package the item in it's original package. There will be a $20 per piece cost to ship back to us. Please note that any pieces that are damaged in the shipment, you will have to pay for. When shipment is ready to be returned please contact your sales rep for instructions. We will arrange with Fed Ex to come and pick the package(s) up.
- We will then send you an invoice with the amount you owe. You can pay by credit card or check.
