Help! Silent Auction Question?
Someone Donated these Antique Earrings. How high of a reserve should I set? I want them to sell, but I want them to make a certian amount of money.
Item: Antique ‘Floral Bouquet’ Cameo Earrings
Medium: Genuine Bull’s Mouth Shell
Mount: 800 Silver
Circa: 1900
Condition: Mint
Estimated Value: $250.00
The auction is at a Benefit Dinner for a sick friend.
Please do not answer if you can not be serious. Thank You!
I was thinking $50. Is that too much?
I do quite a bit of fundraising. I am hosting a huge silent auction in March for an abused childrens shelter.
I usually start my silent auctions at 25% of fair market value. Understanding that most items end up selling for less than full retail.
One of my items is a 3 night stay in Breckenridge, value 1800.00. I am starting bidding at $500.00.
You have to have some discretion, if it is high ticket. What you have is a pure impulse item, and would not appeal to everyone. I’d set the reserve price at $100.00 & see what happens.
Lots of luck!
