(Not all items are listed yet, and some will be available only at the event)
- If you can’t attend, but there is an item you would like: Browse the items available. There is a market cost, and a minimum starting cost. We don’t want to create a “bidding war”. We just want to offer these items to our community, and preferably at their market cost. So, offer THE MOST you want to pay, and a staff member will do the bidding for you. Email the host and include the item number, item name, your name, and your offer (must meet the minimum starting cost).
- For those attending: Checks preferred! No cash exchange at the event, and we won’t be processing PayPal payments there. If you attend the event and win a silent auction item, you can pay via check, or via our donation page from your phone. Current OSA family members may take their bid items home even if they didn’t yet donate, and we will follow up. Purchases can also be made via invoice or OSA credit.
