SDCGO Online Auction!
How to Bid
- Browse for items via category icons, search bar, or top menu (no bids, most bids, etc.).
- Click on “Place Your Bid” button.
- Log in to the auction, or register if you have not already done so.
- After logging in, it will clearly show your name, pre-fill the next bid increment and allow you to increase this amount to your maximum bid. When you are satisfied with your bid amount, click the “Confirm Bid” button. Congratulations, you have placed your bid!
TIP: “Set it and forget” it by making your initial bid, your maximum bid. The system will bid for you until this amount is reached, at which time you’ll receive an SMS notification if you opted in.
- After you have successfully bid on an item, it will stay, win or lose, in the “My Cart” section at the bottom right of the page. Continue to bid from this section throughout the event. Check here to see if you are a winner! If you are, follow the checkout prompts. The organization will get back to you with your item.
Are you ready???
