Silent Auction Bidding Tips & Guidelines

Mobile phone bidding from Qtego Auction Technology is back at this year’s Christian Brothers’ Dinner! There is no more paper bidding. To bid using your mobile phone, register your mobile phone number at the registration table, or with one of the Qtego Representatives in orange. Follow the instructions below to get started. Happy bidding and good luck!

Step 1: Register your phone

Visit the secure site at qtego.net/qlink/dls to register. You will enter your cell phone number, contact information and credit card information. You will then receive a text message confirming your registration.

Step 2: Start bidding

To bid on an item, text the Item Number (3 digit number next to the photo) followed by your bid amount. Example: To bid $75 on item number 123, reply to any Qtego text with 123(space)75. You will receive a text message confirming your bid.

Step 3: Keep bidding

If you are outbid on an item, you will receive a text notification. Simply reply with your new bid.

Don’t text or don’t have a phone? Stop by the auction table or look for any Qtego staff in orange shirts - they will be happy to help you. Please register by 9:30. The Auction closes at 10:00.

Helpful Tips

To Set Up Automated Bidding

Enter the item number, your maximum bid amount, and the letter M to indicate the maximum you are willing to bid on that item. The system will bid for you up to your maximum, and then alert you if you are still outbid.

To Check the Bidding Status on ALL Your Items

Reply to any Qtego text with the word STATUS. You’ll receive a text listing all the items on which you are the current high bidder.

Auction Closing

The auction will end promptly at 10:00 p.m. on May 16, 2019. Winning bidders will receive a text message stating that they are the winning bidder on that item. Please check out at the Auction table before you leave to receive your items.
