Online Auction
How It Works
Similar to bidding on ebay, we will have items for sale, and set a minimum bid. All you do is log onto the CAS website (www.charlesarmstrong.org) and click on the Online Auction link from the home page.
Once you’re at the Online Auction site, you need to register and enter appropriate credit card information to bid. Once you register, you will receive a user number which will appear when you bid on items (no names). There is also an auto-bid option (similar to ebay) so you can enter your maximum bid, and let the Online Auction bid for you. Since you must register your email address, too. The Online Auction will send email notification to inform you when are no longer winning on your favorite items.
The Online Auction is open for bidding from Friday, February 5, 2010 - Sunday, February 28, 2010 at 7 pm. We will also have computers available for bidding on at the event on February 27.
