One of the best ways to earn money and, at the same time, help someone in need is through a benefit auction. Unfortunately, planning and organizing your own auction is extremely stressful and taxing, and sometimes, the amount of time and money you spend isn’t commensurate to the return. If you’re thinking of holding a benefit auction sometime soon, here are some of the things you have to pay close attention to: Auction Items All auctions start with the items, as these things would dictate your target bidders and type of event. What kind of items do you plan to auction off? At what price do you want to start the bidding? How important or how rare are the items you’re selling? Can the majority of your target bidders pay for them? If you have specific items or rare objects in mind, completing the auction list alone could often eat up so much time that you’re left with a very short timeframe for the other aspects of the event.
