The Silent Auction is a collection of items (see "Bid for Prizes" tab) that you can bid on for purchase the day of the event. To bid on the items simply write your name and a bid on the sheet in front of the auction item. Each participant has the opportunity to "out bid" you by writing in a higher price for the Silent Auction item. All Silent Auction items will have a minimum bid and a minimum incremental bid.

Successful auctioneers will tell you that a silent auction warms up the audience and gets them in the buying mood. As a result you get more and higher bids for your live auction items.

The show is financially supported by the donations of auction items and the sale of those items on the Saturday of the show. Pipes, cigars, tobacco, tobacciana, and non-tobacco items are donated by pipe carvers, exhibitors, club members, and benefactors of the show, and are deeply appreciated. We could not run the show as it is without these donations. From 11 a.m. until around 3 p.m.

For example, the 1st section will close (no more bids will be taken) around 6:00 p.m., the second around 6:30 p.m., and so on. The auction takes place on two levels, in both Egan Hall and the gym. When you arrive on Friday night, you will register your name and receive a bid number. To bid on an item, simply write your number on the bid sheet provided with each item.

Instead of meeting in a large room and everyone calling out their bids, each bidder places his/her bid electronically, over the internet with a computer.

Other online auction sites allow you to see what the highest bid is so you are able to determine if you would like to bid high enough to win the item. BidMadness is similar to a silent auction, all bids are hidden until the auction closes. The only clue given to bidders is the status of their own bid, that is, whether the bid is Not Unique, Unique but Not Highest or Highest Unique Bid. Once the auction closes, all member's bids will be displayed on the Results Page.

New auction listings go live on the site most days of the week. The time remaining is shown next to each product.Top
