Do I need to attend the event to bid?

No, you can bid on silent auction items from anywhere! There are plenty of silent and premier silent auction items to bid on, chosen specifically for Bison Nation by the Bison Bidders Bowl Committee.

Items will be available for pickup at the Harry D. McGovern Alumni Center beginning Tuesday, Sept. 24, or can be shipped to you at your expense.

How do I bid on the silent auction?

After registering on Greater Giving, you will receive a text message with your personalized bidding link. Silent auction results will be announced via text once the auction has closed.

To bid on an item, select the package you wish to bid on. Select either the Bid option to bid the next increment or select Bid More to choose your increment. Click the star icon to save the package to your Favorites. Use the menu in the top left to view packages you have bid on or favorited, or to browse by category. When the auction closes, the high bidder can find packages they have won in the Bids area of the menu.

Payment will be processed following the event with the card on file. A receipt will be provided for the purchaser via email.

Can I refund an item?

All sales are final, and there will be no refunds or exchanges of items.

What else do I need to know about item values, guarantees, and usage?

All trips, items, and services must be used within designated dates. All arrangements are to be made between donor and buyer within one month of the auction unless otherwise specified.

All guarantees are according to the manufacturers’ warranties.

Values listed in Greater Giving are donor-stated values or appraisals, and as such are not warranted for tax purposes or general value. Buyers may take a charitable deduction when the price paid exceeds the fair market value for total gifts purchased. For total donation purposes, the value of “priceless” items is considered to be the price paid.
