Get ready for some online auction fun!  Between November 16 and 26 you will have the opportunity to bid on some great items from the comfort of your home, or even on the go from your cell phone.  You will be supporting the great work of REAL, the Rideau Environmental Action League, with our third annual  Fall  Online Auction.  Many of the items are gently used treasures that have been donated  to the REAL Deal store, and have been set aside for this auction.

How the Auction Works.  Participating is very simple.  Just log on to 32Auctions.com and use the keyword “REAL2022” to access this particular auction.  You will be asked to provide your name and email address, but no other identifying information is necessary.  Wait for an email confirmation and then you are good to go!  Browse the items in the auction.  Each auction item has a photo and a description, and some will also have an estimated value.  There will be a starting bid and the required bid increment specified.   Just enter your bid!  You will be notified by email if someone tops your bid so you can be reminded to go back and bid again if you wish.   When the auction closes on at 9 p.m. on November 26, the top bidders will be notified, and can come to the REAL Deal Store beginning Wed. November 30 to pay and pick up their treasures.   Successful bidders should come during store hours, Wednesday through Saturday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.  We accept payment by cash, debit, Visa or Mastercard at the store.  Please ask for details if you would like to pay by etransfer.

A Great Selection of Items. New items are still being added, and there will be about 100 by the time the bidding begins.    There is a great selection with something for everyone:  pottery, art, Christmas decorations,  vintage items, collectibles and more.  This timing makes this a good opportunity to find a few Christmas gifts!   Remember that while you can browse the items now, actual bidding does not start until 8:00 a.m. on November 16.   More auction items can be added at any time in the process, so if you or your business has a gift certificate or other “prize” to donate to the cause, we would be happy to accept them. Just email [email protected] and we can arrange pickup.
