12 Auction Bidding and Rules Bid online and from your mobile device! Silent Auction A display card will be placed next to each item listing the item number, name, opening bid, minimum bid increment and package value. To place a bid at the event, guests must access 501 Auctions from their personal iPhone or Android device. Additionally, 501 Auctions representatives will be accessible throughout the event with iPads for guests to use. When you have registered for the event and created your bidding profile on 501 Auctions, you will receive a confirmation email or text message with a sign-in link to browse the catalog and choose from the many great items you would like to bid on. You do not need to download an app or open a separate browser. In the Bidding Center, you will see four options to find Silent Auction packages: View All, Categories, My Items, and Items Without Bids. Your Personal Bidding Console: View All – See all auction items Categories – Browse items by category My Items – Items you have bid on or are "watching" Items Without Bids – List of items with no bids Item Number or Keyword – Enter your item name or number and hit Search, which will take you to the item page to place a bid Once you have found the item you are interested in, press the "Bid" button to bid on that particular item. Guests are encouraged to place maximum bids. As a current high bidder, you can set a max bid, or the most amount of money you are willing to spend on an item. If someone bids higher than your max bid amount, you will be notified on your "My Items" page, where you can see all items you have bid on and any items on your "Watch List." In the event that two guests enter the same maximum bid, the guest who entered their maximum bid first will own that bid. The system will automatically bid for you if you are outbid, up to your submitted max amount bid. How to Place a Bid: Place Bid – Automatically enters the next minimum bid amount; you will be asked by pop-up screen to confirm your bid. Change Bid Amount – You can manually enter any amount that is greater than the "next bid." Set Maximum Bid – So that you don't risk getting outbid at the last minute, everyone is encouraged to set a max bid. The auction software will automatically raise your bid by a predetermined increment until your maximum bid has been met or the Silent Auction ends. Watch Item – Adds items to your "My Items" list for easy reference later.
