Auction Shopping

What shops should I approach for an auction I am having at a cancer fundraiser?

I am looking for items that people can bid on for my fundraiser. Anyone have any ideas on what stores I can approach? It is being held in resto/bar so I cannot ask other restaurants for dinner gift certificates.

You can ask local museums to donate passes for a visit, or better yet, a yearly membership

Local gyms, same thing, membership passes for 6 or 12 months

Local attractions (zoos, amusement parks, any places like that)

Local spas – bet lots of people would bid for a massage or even a mani/pedi

You can ask bigger retailers if they could donate any items (a plasma TV would be nice) or at least, a gift card or two

Airlines used to donate tickets to charity. If there’s an airport local to you, it still could be worth asking them

Cars arent selling right now. Maybe you can ask a local car dealer or two if they would be willing to donate a new car out of inventory – it would be good for them to get the donation and the publicity

If you’re not getting enough items or you want to bring in bigger ticket pieces, you can check online for “consignment auction” sites – they provide items for charities to auction. You have to pay for them, but only if they sell. So for example if they make a vacation package available to your organization for $500, you set the minimum bid at $700, and if it sells at that price, or better yet, higher, you keep the difference.
