10 Tips and Tricks for the Discover Weyburn Online Auction

Those who've participated in our radio or online auction before will already know some of these tips and tricks. If you're totally new to our Auction, you might find some of these things pretty handy.

1. Finding the auction
You can find a link to the Discover Weyburn online auction here or here.

2. Signing up is simple
You do have to sign up for an account to start bidding, but the process is very easy. Check out the links above to see the items you could bid for and find out how to sign up.

3. Finding Items is easy
There are a few different ways you can find items available for auction once you're on the website. If you know exactly what you're looking for, you can search by keyword. You can also search by price range if you know your budget. If you know what sort of category you're searching in, click one of the categories on the left-hand side. Sorting by Agriculture will bright up two Young's Equipment Equipment Inspection Certificates.

4. Add it to the Wishlist
If you find an item you want but aren't quite sure you want to bid on it yet, you can add it to your wishlist! A few of those Gift Certificates from Elite Kitchens & Decor are on my Wishlist for sure.

5. There are multiples of most Items available
Many of the items on Auction have duplicates of the exact same thing and a perfect example of that is Gift Certificates! We have 20 Weyburn KFC $50 Gift Certificates available. Having multiple items available is important for a few reasons. First, you can choose to bid on the lowest price version of an item. Second, if you find yourself in a bidding war with a skyrocketing bid price, you can switch to bidding on a different one at a lower price. Third, you can buy multiples of the same thing! Especially wonderful with gift cards to places you frequent such as the car wash! We have many car wash gift certificates available!

6. Check the Ending Time aka Sort by Ending Soon
We have staggered the ending time for most items available in the auction, so they don't all end at the same time. You can see which Items you have the least time for by sorting via Ending Soon. Those are, of course, the items you have less time to bid on! The Quality Inns & Suites One night Stays are the very first items to end in our auction this year.

7. Submitting a bid
Bidding on something is as simple as entering a number in the Place Bid section and clicking place bid. You will have to hit Proceed on the next screen to confirm your bid before it goes through

8: Checking your bid
When you want to know what you've bid on so far, take a look at the Members Area. There you'll find a section where you can check your current bids as well as edit your personal information, email notifications, etc.

9. Keep that top bid
Want to know when you've been outbid on an item? Be sure to check the Members Area to make sure you have email notifications turned on. This will allow the site to send you an email when you no longer have the top bid on an item.
