BIDDING, BOOKMARKS & MAX BIDDING – Via Computer

  • Click Place Bid to bid the next increment amount. NOTE: The first time you place a bid, you will be required to provide credit card credentials that will be kept on file for all winning lots. The same card will be used for all 2021 Reflections auctions.
  • Once you have completed the form, you will have the opportunity to Cancel, Confirm Bid, or
  • MAX Bid by increasing the amount to the highest bid you would place. The system will then place incremental bids on your behalf each time you have been outbid up until your MAX Bid. You will be notified if your MAX Bid has been outbid, but you will be required to either bid on your own from that point or place a new, high MAX Bid.
  • Bidders are recommended to contact donors directly with any questions before placing bids. NOTE: Visit the Exhibitor Access tab on the Home Landing Page for an interactive 2021 exhibitor floor plan with more exhibitor-donor details.
