Sometimes I see crazy people dressed up in costumes running around the phone area with a gavel, banging on the tables. Whats that all about?
• That is what we call “gavel breakers”. Gavel Breakers are less expensive items donated in multiple quantities by one of our fabulous donors. These items are given a set price and the first callers to call in will be given the item for the suggested price, no bidding is necessary. For example, we always have cookie sheets from the Sheet Metal Workers. These cookie sheets will sell for $5 and there will be 10 of them. When all ten are sold, the “gavel breaker” is done. The idea is to generate some quick activity and provide a great deal of fun for our auction viewers.
