Once you register on the auction website, you will have access to dozens of web pages in the auction item catalog, each one describing an item or experience that has been donated to auction. At any moment, there is a price associated with each item – if you want the item, you click the “bid” button corresponding to the price you’re willing to pay, and your choice is recorded and shown on the page. Each item also has a “closing time” associated with it, after which no more bids are accepted. Over time, the price to win an item rises as people compete to submit higher bid prices, right up until the closing time – for each item on the website, if your bid price is the highest at the closing time, you win it!
