Free Silent Auction Item Profit Check: Starting Bid and Break-Even Calculator

Not sure what to set your starting bids at? Worried an item could cost your nonprofit more than it brings in?

The free Silent Auction Item Profit Check is a one-tab Excel calculator. Enter each item's fair market value and what it cost you, and it shows:

• a recommended starting bid
• a bid increment that keeps bids moving
• the break-even bid after platform and card fees
• the expected net for each item and for your whole list
