How the night runs

  1. The week before

    Build the catalog

    Type each item, snap a photo, set the opening bid. Print a card per item.

  2. Doors open

    Paddles in hand

    Guests scan and register. Volunteers sign anyone up from a laptop at the door.

  3. During dinner

    The room bids

    Max bids work in the background while the screen shows the total climbing.

  4. Last call

    Fast checkout

    Each paddle's items and gifts, added up. Mark paid, download the CSV, go home.

Your first bidder is number 101.

Set up tonight, publish when the items are in, and hand the room a link.
