How to Shop

Ready, Set, Go

Get ready to shop, bid, and buy! The following information is applicable to all items for sale with the exception of vehicles and boats.

When the Online Auction & Rummage Sale goes live, you will find a shopping button on our home page.

Click the Start Shopping button on our home page to enter the online auction platform.
Select View Items to browse all items. Choose a category (for example 'Bicycles') to narrow down the inventory.
Two ways to shop:
- Instant Buy: Bargain prices on items available for immediate purchase.
- Silent Auction: Items go to the highest bidder. All auction items stay open for bidding during the 3-day sale, closing on Saturday, June 26 at 5pm.
The first time you select an item to buy, or to place a bid, you will be asked to register. You are required to add a credit card in order to shop (VISA, MasterCard, Discover, or Amex).
For silent auction items:
- If you are outbid by another shopper, you'll receive a text message.
- You will have the opportunity to rebid on the item if you wish.
- No bids are accepted after the auction closes.
All items are sold “as is.”
Buyer is responsible for the people/vehicle/cost needed to move the item purchased. Shipping is not available.
All payments are made at time of purchase through the online platform.
When you purchase via Instant Buy, or when you win an auction item, you automatically receive a receipt via email.
After the sale concludes, you'll receive the name and email of the donor for each item you purchase. Then, arrange a convenient time and place for pickup. To minimize contact with others, schedule porch or garage pickups when possible, or meet at a neutral location.
Congratulations, it’s yours!
