Difference Between a Silent Auction and Live Auction
During a silent auction, there will be various tables and displays of items that guests can place bids on by writing their pledges. The bids can be seen by everyone so they can review the situation, check on the highest bid and determine if they want to exceed it in a bid to win. (Silent auctions are like going to a shop where there is just one of everything, choosing which items are the ones you want, and making written bids in an attempt to be the highest and thereby go home with it.) Once the time has run out to make bids, the last person on the list will be the highest bidder and they win the item.
Live auctions consist of guests raising their hand to bid for items in real-time The bidding stops when nobody wants to go any higher - the highest bidder, the last to offer a bid, will win the item. Auctioneers facilitate the live auction with a fabulous stage presence and presentations to sell the items to the assembled guests.
