HOW DOES AN ONLINE AUCTION WORK?
- Use the link to create an account, then start bidding!
- Each bidder proposes a higher price than the previous bid until the auction is over.
- The moment a bidder is outbid, the system sends them an email and text message (SMS) alert. Bidders can then simply click a button to submit a new bid. Since the system already recognizes them, they don’t need to add their details again—it’s quick and easy one-click bidding.
- At the Wine Beer Event, supporters can use text-to-bid to participate or they can bid directly on AAR’s auction page.
