DIY AUCTION
USE OUR LOT ITEMS & RUN YOUR OWN AUCTION
At Auction Direct we offer a range of exclusive charity fundraising auction prizes for your silent or live auction, including a boutique collection of 5* experiences, authentic art and signed memorabilia, all available to you at NO RISK.
When running your own fundraising auction, we can help you to ‘fill the gaps’ by selecting from our range of auction items. Our Vouchers are available at NO UPFRONT COST. Our fixed, low cost price is only payable if and when the item has sold in your auction.
Framed items can be purchased in advance of the event and returned for a full refund should they not sell. Our price includes shipping to you in time for your event, or directly to the winner, soon afterwards.
If you include at least 6 Auction Direct Lot Items in your auction, we will design an auction brochure for you to print for your event. We will happily feature as many donated items as you take of ours.
Our range of currently available items are listed on our auction demo website, with full details and our low, cost prices shown. Click the button below to access. If you'd like more info on 'how it works' please click here.

HOW YOU PROFIT FROM OUR LOT ITEMS
We recommend that you set your ‘reserve’ at least 20% above our cost price, as a minimum margin for the charity and you keep every penny above our low cost price.
So, for example:
item cost price £400 / reserve set at £500 / sells for £750 / you get £350 (£750-£400)
With a reasonably generous audience, you can expect to achieve 40-60% average profit above our cost.
* allowing you / your Auctioneer to potentially sell up to three of each Item
