We have found that beginning with an Ice Breaker, followed by the live auction is the best format to follow. This is quick and rewarding, not to mention a great way to kick off the live auction in a very fun manner. It simply sets the stage. Here is one of the many options we could choose from.

A fast, fun game to easily generate $3,000+. So how it works is you charge your attendees to play and use something inexpensive like Mardi Gras beads or blinking bracelets as a symbol to show those who are playing. The game is simple, I flip a coin or use the coin flip app on my phone for heads or tails and the guests choose heads or tails by standing up and putting their hands on their head or their tail. If you choose the wrong one you are out and have to sit down. Last person standing wins an awesome prize that we could decide on.

For the live auction, we like to utilize a bell curve approach where the first few items in the auction will sell at or below fair market value. This “gets the train rolling” and moves up the curve towards the highest priced items. Once the top of the curve is reached, we will start back down toward the last item of the auction. We work our way up to the higher priced items, so they land in the middle of the live auction. For those that attempt but fail at being able to purchase these items they will still have the opportunity to purchase other items during the live auction. This gives the bidders multiple levels of items in which to bid on and an anticipation of what is coming to the auction block next. We will get every dollar possible for each item, but we must keep the event moving along so we don’t lose momentum!

We have other revenue generators we can save for the very end that can sometimes double or triple what donations might bring in a traditional live auction.

One way is by doing a last bidder/hero standing.

Every time a person raises their paddle, it is a $100 donation; the last person
who donates wins the item. This game can take a few moments, so we save it
for the last and when properly executed can be extremely fun and lucrative.

Myself and other auction professional invented the game, and I am considered a master at performing it! We have sold a Big Green Egg Grill for over $9,000
and yeti coolers for as much as $4,000.
