Selling Silent Items at Non-Ticketed Events

Q:  Our organization holds a small silent auction during our annual carnival/fair/open house.  We don't charge admission and really don't want to issue free tickets, isn't there another option?

A:  Yes - you can use the software to generate bid sheets, instruct supporters to bid with their names instead of a number, then use the POS (Point of Sale) feature as a cash register to record their purchases, process payments and issue receipts.

1. Enter your items into the catalog.  All item types can now be sold via POS.
2. Enable the POS feature.
3. Print bid and description sheets.
4. Bidders place bids by writing their name rather than a bidder number.
5. When bidding closes, use your customary system for communicating winners and organizing each winner's "bill".
6. At check-out, use the POS feature to record each item purchased, process the payment and generate a receipt.
