SMM
Pre-Auction Marketplace
Marketplace is open!!
The SMM Marketplace is your place to
donate and/or purchase event tickets, gift certificates and/or time shares
that will expire prior to the school auction in
March 2009.
Do
you have or know someone that has
event tickets, gift certificates
or a timeshare that you cannot use? NOW they will not go to waste
AND you will have the “Sold for”
value applied towards your fundraising credit. You can donate any “time
sensitive” items even if it is the day before!
We
will continue using email as our main form of communication. Please make
sure the school has your current address and check your emails often!
This program is intended to be a quick-turn around process! It is
conducted as a silent/blind bidding process. You submit your bid with
the amount you wish to pay (starting bid will be 40% of value) and the top
bidder will receive the item. Make sure to bid the highest dollar
amount you would be willing to pay. The deadline for bidding will be
posted with each item and will vary depending on expiration.
In the event of a “tie” the
two bidders will be contacted and given a chance to submit a tie breaking
bid. We will also have
a "buy it now" option. This eliminates
the need to compete for an item by paying 150% of the value up front.
The first bidder to commit to the "buy it now" option will receive the item.
