It is a win win: You get a chance to win a treasure for your home while helping fund our ability to furnish other homes in our community. Bidding starts Friday, April 19 at 8 p.m. and ends Saturday, April 27 at 8 p.m. Go ahead and get registered, and get ready to bid!
Bidding - Online, Overtime Bidding
This is an online auction. Items will become visible on this page Friday, April 19 at 8 p.m. You will be able to browse and bid on items (through this website) through Saturday, April 27 at 8 p.m., when the auction will begin to close. This auction, like our other recent auctions, will feature overtime bidding. This means we will be monitoring the bids live beginning at 8 p.m. and we'll keep the entire auction open until all bidding battles have finished. Watch the video and read the details in that section below for more information. All bidding takes place exclusively online through this auction website.
Browsing - In-Person
To reiterate, all bidding will take place online, through this auction website - however, just like last time, you should come see the items in-person at the familiar Spring location in the Stonesthrow Shopping Center: 3703 Farmington Dr, Greensboro, NC 27407. See dates and times below.
Payment and Pick Up
It is never too early to think about how you are going to get your possible winnings home. All payment will be online through the website, and then everything must be picked up during the following week with all items removed by Saturday, May 4 at 2 p.m. from the auction site at Stonesthrow Shopping Center: 3703 Farmington Dr, Greensboro, NC 27407. Plan now. Measure your vehicle, find some rope, tie downs, and plastic, ask your friends with trucks and trailers or call a moving company. Check the section below for more details.

This is an online auction fundraiser. All bidding takes place exclusively online through this auction website.

IN-PERSON BROWSING
All bidding will take place online, through this auction website - however, we encourage you to come see the items in-person at our Spring auction location at Stonesthrow Shopping Center: 3703 Farmington Dr., Greensboro, NC 27405. during the times listed below. The photos on the site are for your reference only. Please come by during the times below to inspect and assess the condition before bidding as all items are sold "as is" and all bids are final.
In-Person Browsing Dates and Times:
Saturday (4/20) 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Monday (4/22) 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Tuesday (4/23) 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.

OVERTIME BIDDING
As we have done with all of our recent auctions, we will do a manual close for the overtime portion of our auction. What does that mean? It means that as the close of our auction draws near on Sunday, February 11 at 8 p.m. our staff will be monitoring the bids as they arrive. If a bid is received in the last minute before 8 p.m. then the entire auction will be extended for an additional minute. This process will repeat as long as bids are continuing to come in for any item in the auction. Even if there is a bidding battle for just one item, the entire auction will stay open until all items are settled at the highest bid. Once a minute elapses with no bids on any item in the system, we will close the auction. This is similar to the auctioneer saying "Going once, going twice...Sold". It may take 1 minutes, or 10 minutes or an hour and 10 minutes or more depending on the level of bidding. Go ahead, send in those bids and don't wait for the last minute, or consider setting your max bid and walk away.
Always remember why we (and you) are doing this, to help change lives. Thank you for your support!
PAYMENT AND PICK UP INFORMATION
Auctions are always exciting, but once it closes, what are the next steps? When the bidding closes, winners will be notified via email and provided with a link to pay for their items. You will have 24 hours to check out with the card of your choosing using the link provided. After that period of time, any unpaid invoices will be charged to the card on file.
Once paid, you will be emailed a receipt. Bring your receipt (paper or digital) with you to pick up your items at our Spring auction location in the Stonesthrow Shopping Center: 3703 Farmington Dr. Greensboro, NC 27407 . All payment must be made through the website before you come to pick up. There will be no transactions at the pick up location.
Again, this time around, all auction winners will be emailed a link to schedule a time to come pick up their items.
You will need to use that link to schedule a pick up appointment and plan to arrive during your planned pick up time for prompt service. Pick up appointments will be scheduled during the hours listed below. You may also contract with a third-party delivery service, but make sure you either meet them here or send them with a copy of your receipt. Be sure to check the measurements in the descriptions of your items to make sure your vehicle will be big enough, and don't forget to bring rope, straps, and plastic to secure and protect your items if needed. Please note some items will require professional movers. ALL ITEMS MUST BE PICKED UP BY SATURDAY, MAY 4 AT 2PM.
