AUCTION OPENS MARCH 15!
All proceeds from the auction support Dragon Boat Charleston’s mission programs! This page is updated as teams submit items for the auction, so check back often! The auction runs from March 15- April 15. Bidding closes at midnight.
How it works: Charleston Dragon Boat Festival teams donate the items. Dragon Boat Charleston posts the auction and collects payment from the winning bidder. After payment is received, the team captain is notified and makes arrangements to get the item to the winner.
Bidding: Bids should be in $10 whole number increments. Note: Your maximum bid could be below another bidder's current maximum. In that case, your bid will not be posted, and the other bid will be updated to reflect $10 over your maximum bid. For example, Bidder A has a bid range of $100-$300, and Bidder B has a bid range of $200-$250. Bidder A's bid will be posted as $260.
