Free Buy It Now software for US Fundraisers
For supporters who want the item without the contest, and for items you hold more than one of. A fixed price lets a supporter secure it instantly, gives an exit from a bidding contest, and keeps selling after the close so unsold items do not go home with you.
INFORMATION & PRICING
START FUNDRAISING. IT'S FREE
Buy It Now runs as standalone item or as a silent auction option, with items sold instantly at a fixed price
Where Buy It Now earns its place
Multiples, merchandise, and an exit for supporters who would rather pay a premium than keep competing.
With Buy It Now, you can:
- Sell items you hold several of, at a set price and quantity
- Give an exit from the bidding on an auction lot
- Sell branded merchandise, event photography or tickets to your next event
- Keep items available after the close so no items go home with you
Setting the price
150 to 200 percent of fair market value is a widely used convention on an auction item, so bidding still runs but there is an exit.
Supporters can:
- Set a quantity, sell one or fifty, and the platform tracks stock
- Run it during and after the auction closes
- Combine it with reserves on the same catalog
Fixed prices can make US receipting clearer
Recording a good-faith fair market value before your fundraiser can make it easier to explain what portion of a supporter’s payment may be deductible.
Buy It Now helps you:
- Record the item’s fair market value alongside its selling price.
- Show the amount paid and item value clearly in your records.
- Provide the information needed for quid pro quo disclosures where applicable.
- Keep a clear record of fixed-price merchandise sales.
