Place Bid

If you’re unfamiliar with the process of placing a bid, here’s a recap when on a desktop:

  • LOGIN (Go to the top right hand corner) to see the most up-to-date status of what is available. (The last 4 digits of your phone number is your PIN.)
  • Click CATALOG LIST ( top of the page), then click CATEGORY to sort the offerings.
    • You will see a column that says “LEFT.” That indicates how many places, items, or services are still available.
  • Once you’ve decided what you want, go to “CURRENT BID” column to start bidding.
  • Click PLACE BID, choose QUANTITY, Click SAVE.
    • For Competitive bids, you may see an alert at the top of the page that tells you the minimum price you must bid. Once you’ve adjusted your bid, make sure to click SAVE to complete your bid.
  • HIDDEN MAX price will automatically increase to a higher price (in $5 increments) only IF you are outbid. 
    • For example, if you bid $80 with a Hidden Max Price of $100, your bid will automatically increase to $90 if another bid comes in for $85. It will increase to $100 if another bid comes in for $95. After that, anyone who bids $105 or more will win the auction—although you can check the status of the bidding at any time and raise your bid if you’d like to.

Online bidding will end on Sunday, Nov 24, at noon.

During coffee hour that day, we will have helpers to assist anyone having trouble with the online bidding process.

We will notify hosts and auction winners of their auction results shortly after Thanksgiving. 

Billing Statements will be distributed at that time. We will advise you on how you can pick up any physical items you have won and provide methods for paying your bill.

For help, email serviceauction@muuf.org or visit us at the Service Auction table after coffee hour on Sundays. 

Here are some video and screenshot guides to common operations.

Service Auction FAQ

Q:  What is the Service Auction and why is it important?

Congregants offer activities, personal services, and handmade goods as donations to the Fellowship. During the 8-day auction period, people place competitive bids for some items, but most are offered for a fixed price.  

Q: What kinds of donations can I offer?

Social gatherings or dinners at a donor’s home or at the Fellowship; participatory events like hikes, museum visits, or book swaps; cooking or hobby lessons; game-playing or movie-watching groups; home-made desserts, soups, and meals for delivery; hand-crafted items and artwork; themed gift baskets. You can make an offering/donation as an individual or a family or collaborate with friends.

Q: What are the important dates I need to know?

October 9: Begin submitting service auction items.
October 20: Tickets go on sale on Sundays at the Fellowship and through Realm ($20 in advance, $25 after November 10).
November 1: Deadline to submit an offering

Q: What else can I do to help?

Stop by the Auction table after coffee hour on Sundays to find out what we need during our opening event or leading up to it. We welcome your participation!

On your own, please help promote the Service Auction on social media. If you have photos from an event you previously hosted or attended, please post a picture on our MUUF private group Facebook page with a short description. We all enjoy memories of happy times together, and it just might give someone else an auction idea!

We know that we can count on the generosity and creativity of our Fellowship community.

Thank you for being a part of this year’s auction!
