Start bidding on the Rotary Club of Huntsville's Annual Christmas Auction!

The Rotary Club of Huntsville’s Annual Christmas Auction’s website is up and running, and bids are already coming in, so you know it’s time to act before the final bids are placed on Sunday, December 1.

The auction is available through the website at www.huntsvillerotaryauction.com. It offers over 300 items donated by local businesses and individuals throughout the community, with a combined value in excess of $40,000. Each of these generous merchants has donated their product or service with the hope that potential bidders will return full value to the Rotary Club.

Donations include golf packages for the Deerhurst Highlands and Mark O’Meara courses, hockey tickets, art and entertainment items, dining gift certificates, tools, electronics, and items for the home and garden.

Details on all the items up for bid are currently available on the website, as well as the Auction Flyer, a link to which is provided below. The Flyer lets you follow auction items by block and end times.

The auction is a great way to allow you to do your Christmas shopping early. In addition to offering gift items in all price ranges, the auction also offers you the opportunity to get some great deals and not pay taxes. Most importantly you will be shopping locally and recognizing the contributions of the many local businesses who contributed items in support of the club’s fundraising efforts!

Bids can only be accepted online, and you must register to bid, even if you signed up last year. Visit www.huntsvillerotaryauction.com now to download the Flyer, review the items, and place bids. Successful bidders can pick up and pay for their items online or at the auction depot on the Monday and Tuesday following the auction day. Payment can be by cash, cheque, or credit card.

Can’t be available on Auction Day, or don’t want to follow the auction online? Each item has an ‘Auto Buy’ button that allows you to put in a maximum amount you’re willing to bid. The site will place bids for you as needed up to your maximum amount (but not over). Use the ‘Buy Now’ button to guarantee the item will be yours.
