We will provide you with everything you will need for a successful event, from our professional staff, our copyrighted Auction Planning Guide, a complete variety of items for your auction, all your custom publicity materials which are printed at our own facility at our own cost including tickets, mailers, and custom catalogues. We provide you with extra pages in our catalogue for local advertisements in an effort to help you generate additional revenue. All you have to do is send us your camera-ready ads and we will print them for you. So what exactly do we ask from you? All we ask of you is a large enough room to present the auction, some willing, enthusiastic volunteers, and a minimum attendance. Our confidence in our own ability to help you to produce a successful event enables us to guarantee that money will be raised at your event regardless of the number of items sold. Independent Galleries auctions create a win, win situation for you and your organization. Over thirty years of experience in the fund raising auction business has proven that our auctions are far more fun and exciting - and that translates into more money for your group! |

In the Silent Auction all of the items are
on display at the same time throughout the auction area. Each Item will
have a Silent Bid Sheet next to it with a minimum opening bid and increments.
To bid on any item, simply write in your name and amount on the line. The
first bid must be the minimum requested, and each consecutive bid must be
at east the minimum increment over the previous amount. If others bid after
you, you can return to that item and bid again, following the same rules.
You may bid as often as you like. When the silent auction is closed, the
highest bidder on the sheet wins. Our Silent Auction Services
Working together with organizations that are already conducting fund raisers like golf tournaments and dinner dances, we carefully design a complimentary selection of fine art, sports & celebrity memorabilia as well as collectibles from around the world for inclusion into the existing event as a silent auction. Bringing the excitement of an auction to a traditionally non-auction event will do more than raise funds. It will make this an evening your guests will ask you to repeat again and again! We call it All Gain, No Pain because that’s exactly how it works. |

A live auction is usually the highlight
of a fundraiser. This is where the lion’s share of your auction money
will be raised. In order for it to be a success, the Live Auction needs
to be fast paced, exciting, fun, and orchestrated like a theatrical production.

your live auction, oversee and coordinate your silent auction, or emcee
your event. For an especially memorable evening, Brian Jaffe is available for special appearances.

With a combination of high energy and a standup comic’s wit, his audiences laugh– and the more they laugh, the more they buy! Brian has helped raise as much as $500,000 in a single evening just by keeping his audience laughing.
