Bid

All auctions start at one penny. To participate in an auction you buy bids. Each time you bid, the price of the item goes up by one penny and 20 seconds are added to the timer. Be the last person to bid and you win the item. Bids can be used at any Bonbids auction.
Buy a bid pack and a donation is made to your Cause

Win the Auction

The items up for auction are donated by our participating merchants to support a Cause and to attract new business. Bid with confidence, you can really win these items for pennies. If you can’t make it to the auction, set up a Bid For Me and it will automatically bid for you (up to the dollar amount you set) when the auction is 30 seconds from closing.
Bid to win

Win the Deal

Didn’t win the auction? You automatically win the Deal of 50% off. This consolation prize is our way of saying Thank You for your support and is emailed to you at the end of the auction. All you have to do is bid once and not win the auction to be eligible.
Fundraising penny auctions

Give

Up to 50% of the bid pack price is donated to the featured Cause. We feature a different Cause each day. Buy bids to support your Cause and use them at any auction at Bonbids.
