Our
eBay Giving Works program provides a great opportunity for you to
auction great items at great prices and support a noble cause along
the way. That being said, it can be a bit tricky to choose items that
are guaranteed to get good bids. If you have no idea where to get
your auction items, we recommend that you start with these places:
Consignment
shops
are a great place to look because they usually have many of the
best-selling items at today’s auctions, like artworks and celebrity
memorabilia. However, keep in mind that you’ll have to pay these
shops a percentage of your auction earnings. Alternatively, you can
head directly to the source. For instance, if you’re looking to
auction sports memorabilia, ask your local sports
teams and clubs
to donate some of their items.
Wine
shops
are also a great source of auction items because fine wines, after
all, are a great addition to food baskets—which, as you may know,
sell rather well in any auction. Don’t just add random items to
these baskets, though; keep in mind that fine wine looks infinitely
more appealing when thrown in with a bundle of pasta, snacks, and
wine glasses. You’ll also have to decorate your food baskets to
make them more presentable, which means you’ll need to get your
creative juices flowing (or hiring someone else) before the auction.
