  Bid Sheets
AuctionBase
provides you with all the bid sheets and reporting sheets you could ever want.

Many options are available for your silent auction. If you choose to have bid levels pre-defined, AuctionBase will calculate them for you. Two basic types are available. The first, and most commonly used type, calculates bid levels with a "flat percentage," where each consecutive bid level is some percentage greater than the last. The second type calculates bid levels by adding a "flat dollar" amount to form each new level.

You can also opt to have a guaranteed purchase bid, or to leave the bidding open-ended.  In addition, you can include spaces for bidders to sign their name, or leave these out. Finally, we provide a special half-sized bid sheet, for use where table space is at a premium. The pictures below show you examples of AuctionBase's silent auction bid sheets.
AuctionBase Bid Sheet Sample 1
Below is a full sized bid sheet, with pre-defined bid levels calculated with a flat percentage (7-11% works well). A guaranteed purchase bid level and lines for bidder signatures are also included.
AuctionBase Bid Sheet Sample 2
Below is a portion of a full sized sheet with no guaranteed purchase box. 30 pre-defined bid levels are printed on the sheet, then blank lines are provided below that. Note that a preferred minimum bid amount is shown.
AuctionBase Bid Sheet Sample 3
On this sheet, no pre-defined levels have been included, except for the minimum bid amount.

This picture shows a half-sized bid sheet. While these sheets do not allow you space for bidder signatures, they are an excellent choice for saving paper and silent auction table space.

Below is a special type of bid sheet, used for buy-in items. Rather than outbidding each other, this sheet allows bidders to sign up for an item at a set price. There are many lines printed as spaces available in the item.
AuctionBase Buy-In Bid Sheet Sample
Below is an example of a live auction recording sheet. Often, if the donor of a popular item is available at an event, they will allow the auctioneer to sell a second or even third copy of the item. Each live auction recording sheet has spaces for up to three sales.

Special appeals ask for cash donations from the bidders for some specific cause. The picture to the left shows a recording sheet used for reporting special appeal bids from a live auction to data entry. Signature spaces are provided, should you wish your runners to collect them after the bidding is done.
