70's GLAM
Join the Gladwyne Montessori PTA for an evening of 70's GLAM! Each year, the PTA Auction and Gala is the Gladwyne Montessori PTA's largest fundraising event of the year, made possible by parents, faculty and community partners who volunteer, donate and request auction items, purchase sponsorships, and attend! Proceeds of this year's event will be put towards Gladwyne Montessori's exciting campus redevelopment project, which is transforming our campus, creating new opportunities for outdoor learning and play. Guests can look forward to dancing the night away while enjoying cocktails, a seated dinner, and silent and live auction excitement!
Mobile bidding Registration & Instructions:
Bidding in the silent auction is open to both attendees and remote bidders.
Attendees have been pre-registered for the auction. If you would like to bid remotely, simply go to this site and click the "Join the Auction to Bid" button.
How does a Bidder make a bid (or "Maximum Bid") on an auction item?
A Bidder can make a bid on an Auction item by clicking on the “Place Bid” button underneath that specific item. The Bidder will then be directed to a page with additional details on the item, including the value of the item, the “minimum bid increment”, and how much time is left to bid on that particular item.
Bidders can then enter an amount that they’d like to bid on the item, as well as a “Maximum Bid.” The Maximum Bid is an amount that you can set to allow the system to automatically bid for you - up to that specified amount. (That way, you can continue to automatically bid on an item without worrying about bidding over your limits! Your bid will only go up if someone is bidding against you.) Once a Bidder has entered their bid and a Maximum Bid, then they can press the “Place Bid” button – and voila! They’ve submitted a bid! The bidder should receive a notice at the top of the screen confirming that the bid was successful, and that they are now the highest bidder.
Bidders can then return to the main Auctions page by clicking on the “All Items” link below that confirmation message.
How can a Bidder see the items that they’ve made bids on?
Bidders can see the items that they’ve made bids on right from the main Auction page! There is a section under the auction’s description and image where a Bidder can toggle between three different views. To see all of the items that they’ve bid on (regardless of if they have the highest bid or not!), they can click on the option to view “My Bids.”
Can a Bidder make a list of the items they’re most interested in?
Yes! Bidders can make a list of their “favorite items” by clicking on the small “heart” icon next to the name of the item. They can then access that list by selecting the “My Favorites” view from the main Auctions page.
