Chinese auction????

Question

Well I am 17 years old, and i want to hold a chinese auction for a fundraise. Will this be a profit?? How do i get stuff and still make a profit?? I have to rent out a hall right?? Well My parents would do that part. But this is what i am in charge or?? I am in charge of everything, from getting the baskets together and anything else? Would i have to get food?? If you ever did one did it make a profit?? And what did you put in the baskets?? Just anyhelp?? And any unique basket ideas??? Anything you think will help, thanks.

 

Answer 1

you can ask people in school to donate stuff. in my sisters school they hold a fashion show every year. and to the side they sell raffle tickets for you to buy to put in boxes next to all the baskets. 

 

some basket ideas are:

techi basket: ipod stuff, cds, and things like that

night at the movies: gift certificates to a movie theater, dvds, popcorn, candy

chocoholics basket: all chocolate things

gardening basket: gardening tools

 

some people also donated some weeks at their timeshares in puerto rico

 

some people donated sports tickets if they had season tickets

 

there are paintings there 

 

really anything that you can get people to donate!

 

if you get enough stuff im sure you can make some sort of a profit.. make sure you tell your parents to tell wherever you're holding the fundraiser that it is a fundraiser... they might give you some sort of a discount!
