How does it work?
1) Auctions customized to your specific requirements
As an auction consignment company, Go Charity has a long and successful history supporting non-profit organizations and charities in their fundraising efforts. We have assisted all manners of charity auctions from large, international events to small, community-led auctions. No event is too small. Whether you’re looking for one unique experience to add to your live auction or a few physical items to add excitement to your silent auction, Go Charity has you covered.
2) Auction items for your consignment at 100% no risk
When you work with us, you will have access to a popular showcase of unique items available on a consignment basis. Get to choose from our diverse categories of consignment items including sports memorabilia, framed art prints and entertainment memorabilia, luxury fashion, jewelry items, wine & spirits, sporting tickets, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Each of our items have no upfront costs, so you only pay for what sells after the event. If any of our items don’t sell in the auction, we will provide a return label for you to return the item back to us and you do not have to pay a cent on the unsold item.
3) An expert-managed procurement process
When you’re looking to procure high-value consignment items to increase donations and generate additional buzz at your next silent auction, we’ll collaborate closely with you to create a tailor-made procurement process that matches your auction’s specific needs and requirements. No matter your fundraising goal, our staff have the knowledge and expertise to acquire the consignment items that wonderfully complement your auction inventory.
During the silent auction process, all procured items are up for bid. Once the event commences, guests to your event can begin to competitively bid through the paper bid sheet in front of their desired items. To participate, guests can write down their bid amount and name as well as their contact information onto the bid sheet. Once the auction has ended, the guest with the highest bid amount wins the auction item.
Strategically including a “Buy Now” space on the most exclusive consignment items like travel packages ensure your highly-prized items generate a lot of interest.
4) A smooth, seamless experience for auction winners
As your consignment auction partner, we’ll ensure all winning bidders are guided through a seamless buying experience. Our full concierge service will assist your organization through the entire process, from facilitating payment information to ensuring all auction winners have the necessary information they require to booking their unique one-of-a-kind experiences, working with them every step of the way.
