Bidding that keeps going without them
A bidder sets the most they are willing to pay, and the sale bids on their behalf one step at a time. They pay more only when somebody pushes them, and never above their own maximum.
Fundraising auctions, run properly
Your auction. Your name. Your web address.
A timed online sale that looks like it belongs to you, not to us. Supporters bid from their phones over days or weeks, the sale closes itself, and your team runs the whole thing without asking anybody for help.
Hosted, supported, and live on your own domain. No software to install.
An auction raises most when bidding feels safe. Every part of this works towards that.
Built for the way people actually bid
Supporters bid once, in the evening, from the sofa. They will not sit refreshing a page at closing time, and a sale that punishes them for it raises less. These are the parts that fix that.
Nobody wins by being quickest
A bid in the closing minutes extends the lot. Somebody who left a maximum on Tuesday is not beaten by somebody with a faster connection on Friday, which is the complaint every sniped auction gets.
Hidden reserves, honoured quietly
Set a floor on any lot without publishing it. The page says the reserve has not been met, never what it is, so a lot does not go for less than you can accept and nobody learns your hand.
A record that cannot be rewritten
The sale writes down every bid, refusal, automatic answer and extension, with the price either side and the time it happened. When a bidder asks how the price got there, you can show them.
The underbidder is an opportunity
Most of your supporters lose. Offer the next in line the lot at what they already committed to, and let anybody give whatever they meant to spend, winner or not. Both are a button, not a project.
It chases the money for you
A winner hears what they owe, gets a reminder on your schedule, and pays from a link without remembering a password. You get a spreadsheet of who paid, who has not, and who to go back to.
How it works
Three steps from a cupboard full of lots to money in your account.
-
1
Load your lots
Photographs, descriptions, starting prices and reserves, added by your own team. Set the day bidding opens and the day it closes, and leave the catalogue on show until then.
-
2
Put it on your own address
Pick a name on ours and it works the same afternoon, or point your own domain at us and we issue the certificate. Your logo, your colours, your wording, your email address on every message.

Let it run
Supporters register and bid. The sale closes itself, works out who won, takes the money through your own Stripe account, and chases anybody who has not paid.
You run it, not us
Invite your colleagues, change the wording, swap the banner, move the closing date. Everything a sale needs day to day belongs to your team, so nothing waits on an email to a supplier.
Your money, your account
Takings go into your own Stripe account rather than through us, so you are never waiting on a payout and nobody else is holding your supporters' money.
In the room as well
Run it live at an event: a registration desk that issues paddles on a name, bidding from the floor on a phone, and a clerking view for whoever is keeping the auctioneer straight.
