The school auction, minus the clipboards and the counting
Everyone in the hall already has the only equipment you need. The bids collect themselves, the totals add themselves up, and the committee gets to watch the evening instead of running it.
Building it all is free. You pay once, when you open the real bidding.
The committee changes every year
Everything lives in one place: the lots, the results, the settings. Next year’s parents copy this year’s auction and start from something that worked, instead of from a folder of tips left in the staff room.
Budgets are tight
Building and rehearsing is free — you only pay when you open the real bidding, one flat amount you know in advance. No percentage of what the parents give. If the evening is cancelled before it ran, you get it back.
Grandparents bid too
Share the link and family bids from home on the same lots — with a live video from the hall if you point a phone at the stage. The class fair reaches further than the school gym.
How a school evening runs
Twenty lots: the teachers’ promises, a parent’s holiday home, the class artworks. Codes beside each lot at the fair, bidding on phones through the evening, and the head teacher hammers the last lot from the stage. The totals are done before the chairs are stacked.
See it work before you decide
Build the whole auction, print the codes and run a full rehearsal with a colleague bidding from their phone. Ten minutes and you will know whether this fits your evening.
