[quote=Anonymous]The key to getting silent auction baskets to make money is to get things donated. Having chaired many auctions, I could cry for the number of times a basket actually cost more to assemble than what it made in profit. It would have been better to keep the money! Very few people will pay much more than the value unless there are unique items. So ideally, try to get a nice item donated and them build around that. This is a great chance from someone to regift a duplicate item they have at home. Recently someone donated a nice firepit that was a duplicate for them. We built a successful basket of accessories to go with it and that sold well. We also got some nice cookware and that kitchen basket sold easily.[/quote]
