@zck - no idea - I spent almost an hour looking for the item and then was told that it had already been converted to a live auction due to high demand.

$1600 - 2 spots (so total $3200 for two hours), I was there. It was a silent auction before and it became a live auction due to high demand.

I think it is a silent auction. So you go in and put your bid. So it is not going to be like what I believe you imagine. I am not sure whether 1. you know what others have bid(my guess is this would be the case to raise more money from cha
