FAQ
How do I remove a bid?
Right after you place a bid, you have the option to "undo" on the confirmation banner at the top of the screen. Once this banner goes away, you will need to see an event volunteer to remove it.
I already selected "no" or replied "STOP" to the SMS text message alerts, not realizing that I wouldn't receive outbid notices. Can I fix it?
Yes! Text "START" to 56651 to begin receiving these once again.
How do I place a Max Bid?
To place a "max bid", tap on Bid/Info > BID/SET MAX > select the amount you are willing to spend on the item > SET MAX. The system will bid up to that amount for you automatically. You will be notified via text message if you are outbid on this item.
How do I find out if I won?
Once the auction has closed, you can look under MENU/MY ITEMS to view everything that you have won/purchased. You will also receive a congratulatory text message.
