Starting this month, the authors of “Going¦Going¦Gone!”, the guidebook on successful
auctions for non-profits, will distribute a free e-mail newsletter full of information,
news, tips and tools about fundraising charity auctions.

Published once a month, each issue will include concise and helpful hints on topics
of interest to development directors, special event managers and volunteers engaged
in the auction process. These will include:

 * How to obtain and utilize volunteers.
 * Unique acquisitions that create the most interest and sell for the
     highest 
   amounts.
 * What items consistently sell and what items should be avoided.
 * The role of the computer in the modern auction.
 * How to close an auction efficiently and avoid long lines at checkout.
 * The role of the internet in event fundraising with leads to the best sites.
 * Tax, insurance and legislative updates.
