FAQs

What do you mean by “Risk Free” Auction Packages?

Because you don’t need to buy your auction packages until after they have sold at your auction, these items are Risk Free. We give you a price for each auction package and you decide what price to open the auction at. Should the auction package not reach the desired level that you set as a minimum and you don’t sell the package you are under no obligation to purchase the package from us and no fee will be incurred. Should the package sell at auction simply purchase the package on-line or give us a call at 888-857-2257 to arrange payment.

What determines which certificates we qualify for?

When posting a certificate to Beagle Packages, our partner experience providers indicate which organizations and causes they support. Most support all 501(c)(3) nonprofits in some capacity with a fully or partially donated certificate. Their preferences determine the experiences you see in your Beagle Packages dashboard and the percentage of the winning bid you would keep if you sell the certificate.

Do the auction items have images?

Yes, every auction package comes with text explaining the items as well as an image that can be used for your auction as well as pre-auction marketing materials.

How many people are these packages for?

The majority of these packages are for two to four people but we do have some packages for larger groups. The quantities for all aspects of a package are clearly stated. In almost all cases we can take an existing package and customize it for you to include a larger group. Please feel free to contact us to discuss this further.

Will we owe anything if a certificate doesn’t sell?

Creating your account is free, and you will not owe anything if a certificate doesn’t sell. We’ve designed our program to minimize your risk whenever a certificate doesn’t sell or sells near the starting bid.
