In case I'm ever in charge of one lol stormy There is usually a bidding book (or if it's really casual a piece of paper), in front of every item, or in the case of large items (car, spa day trip) pictures and/or a description. You place your number in one column and your bid in the one next to it (or in case it's real casual, and numbers aren't assigned, you just put your name). Somebody else comes along and writes in a higher bid. The auction closes at a set time. These are a hoot...for really "hot" items right before the auction closes you see folks diving over one another to be the last bid:))))))) Kathy, member GSDCA, DVGSDC Celebrating generations of Dual Titled TC'd Champions visit www.geocities.com/pinehillgsds ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
