  1. I REALLY like your idea of a silent auction to support a worthy cause.  I was thinking of selling my models at the Holiday Bazaar we have.  This is much preferable.  

     

    If you don't mind sharing with me, what was involved in setting this up?

      Hi. I was not successful in selling my model at any of my events. I discussed a reasonable auction price with Nic at Bluejacket based on what he sells the finished model in case for at retail. I went lower but still no offers. The problem is we are dealing with a very small population who values our work. I had silent auctions and live auctions and by far the best success is with a live auction. I’m sure if I had the model at the live auction it would have been sold especially if you have an excellent auctioneer. Not sure this helps but I wish you best of luck. Happy to talk live if I can help. There are lots of other ways to raise money for your charity. I was very fortunate this year and raised over $30,000 for ZERO Prostate Cancer. Good luck!!
