NEW FEATURE(s):
NEW bidding procedure: continues this month. A few behind the scenes refinements, but mostly about the same as the previous auction. If you have questions beyond mentioned here, see the "news" page and read about the NEW BIDDING process.
ALL items are viewable in "thumbnail" form on the Listing Page(below). Click on any title/image/number for an item and learn more about that particular package. On those individual item pages, is where you can also bid from. On the individual page, beneath each item is a spot to put in a bid amount. This then takes you to a "prebid" page with information confirming your intended bid(prior to finalizing it). You need to put your name and email address in here. Then, click "bid" to process the bid. ALL bids are logged and new high bidder is sent a confirmation notice. Previous high bidder is sent an outbid notice, and we are sent a confirmation notice for logging as well.
Nightly updates are sent ONCE per day(usually early evening) during the auction, and are sent for each item to the high bidder at that time. If you are high bidder on 3 items, you'll receive 3 nightly update notices. If you're outbid, you'll no longer receive notices on that item unless you become high bidder again.
If you are NOT receiving a notice you believe you should be receiving, let us know ASAP! We'll look into the matter, however, make SURE you enter your name/email address correctly on the bidding pages first!
CURRENT running grand total is available on the Listing Page(here), as well as "current" item bids. The individual item bids are also on their own pages; the listing page just shows an overview.
Minor changes to things for this auction include: pages now programmed to be "current" all along. The moment the auction finishes, all the auction pages(sans main EF front) will reflect the final results. In the first hours after an auction, these will be "preliminary" results, until we verify all of the bids/information. When Pat sends out the "Official Notice" to high bidders the following day, these are considered final results. But, overall, the pages are now more "live" and require less maintenance, so we hope they'll be more useful to everyone!
Names and Email addresses are NOT posted during the auction. If you prefer to have a bid "Anonymous" write to Pat and tell her which one, etc. We'll work that out. If there are ANY problems bidding, let us know as well. Please let us know what you think or if you have any suggestions, ideas!
The Rest: is pretty much similar. Listing Page shows ALL items, Info page is for "who" the fundraiser is held, and the Front page is the front door/basic info page! ALL main areas of this auction are accessible from the "auction bar"(that little grey bar at the top of the pages...is now ALSO at the bottom of most pages!).

Thanks for taking the time to look over the items...lots of great stuff here, folks! Do enjoy, and thanks for helping in...
