The Conservation Commission’s online fund-raising auction went live this morning with 17 items ready for bids. Every item was created or donated by a Salisbury resident. Take a look at the auctions and you will agree that there is both tremendous talent and great generosity in town. Thanks to everyone who donated the wonderful items.
Several bids had already been placed by 9:30 Sunday morning. Although these first bids were less than a dollar more than the starting bids, the bidders might have bid more than that. When you place a bid, the system automatically bids just enough to outbid others. To find out how high the actual bid entered was, you have to place another bid. The system will tell you when your bid is high enough to become the current high bid. When the auction ends, you might win the item for less than the last bid you entered. For more information, see the Instruction page.
All of the auctions will run for 12 days and end on Thursday evening, April 29, between 7:00 and 8:04 PM. The auctions will end sequentially in the order they are displayed on the auction home page. Each auction will end four minutes after the previous auction, at the time noted on each auction page. Save the date, and be prepared to bid again if someone tries to top your bid by a few dollars at the last minute!
All proceeds from this auction will support the education, research, and conservation programs of the Salisbury Conservation Commission. Enjoy, and thanks for bidding.
