If you want to BID for an item as it comes up, you can tweet the @VdGSA and use the hashtag #Auction.

Fictitious Example: Item 2079 is the complete Lawes 6-part consorts in the 1st edition donated by YOUR favorite faculty member and the current bid on Twitter is listed as $150, you would tweet: @VdGSA $160 on item 2079. #Auction

Proxy Bids

Another option is to get in touch with someone at conclave, or with Anne Duranceau, and ask to be patched together with someone to do your bidding for you. This can be in real time by phone, or, you can tell your bidder the highest you would bid on an item and they can bid up for you until then. If the winning bid is yours, the proxy bidder needs to make sure to tell Anne Duranceau that it was on your behalf.

(Let Anne Duranceau (auction@vdgsa.org) know if you want a bidder selected for you.)
