How Silent Auctions Work:
During silent auctions anyone that wishes to buy an item will make a bid by letting the auctioneer know the amount they would be willing to pay. At the close of the auction the item goes to the individual who made the highest bid. That individual will then be expected to pay their bid price in full to the auctioneer for exchange of the item.
In this case the item up for auction is ‘Rainbow Boy’ by State of the Art and the auctioneer is us, Seed.
