Definitions anyone?

Thank you Holly for the well wish.

Hum, since I'm learning on the fly I wouldn't want to give you inaccurate info. But here is my impression.

Silent auction is more of a "backdrop" , " "relaxed" style of auction if you will where bidders are free to roam at their own pace and desire. They spend one on one time with the item for sell and make up their own minds at leisure. Bidders state their bit amt on bidding sheets placed with each sale item to communicate interest level to the auctioneer.

Life auction occurs within a specific window of time and is orchestrated by an auctioneer in front of an audience of bidders (like the kind you see in movies). The element of competition is hence more charged since bidders have to react immediately. The item for sell gets an opportunity to be under the spotlight sort of speak and the auctioneer "massages" the audience at his/her own discretion. Though the hasty nature of life auction may eliminate those who may be of a more hesitant nature. In terms of exposure, I'd think there are pros and cons with each style.

If your donation sample looks anything close to your "head study" posted on 11/02/04, I have no doubt in my mind that you are going to be VERY happy at the end of the evening! Best of luck!
