Who is eligible to participate?

All bidders enter an agreement and must abide by the stated rules. This means that you must be the legal age of 18years old. We would recommend that employees of participating businesses who are providing goods/services should not be involved in the bidding for a number of understandable reasons. However this decision is entirely up to discretion of the businesses themselves. In the case of the Charities and Non for profit organizations most allow their staff and members to bid on auction items.
