The bidding has started! The Auction will conclude with a live, 30-second countdown per item starting at 9:00 am on Saturday, Aug. 17th. You will only get email notifications that you have been outbid between now and when the live, 30-second countdown per item starts. During the live auction on Aug.17th you will NOT get email notifications that you have been outbid.
In the auction, you will see a host of great items from the O'Keefe Ranch, as well as gift certificates for many great Vernon businesses like Nature's Fare, White Spot, Okanagan Skydive, Voets Coffee, Prestige Hotels, Canadian Tire, Towne Theatre, Browns Social House, Golden Crown, Pho Sate, Cedar and Soak, Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club, Vernon Vipers, Image Studios, Wedded Bliss & Baby Bliss Photography, World Health and Fitness, OK GN Gifts, R&R Patio, Jack's Aquatics, Vernon Arts Centre, Cardiff Miller Art Warehouse, Home Depot, Just For You Spa and Salon, Big Sun, and Rustler's Table.
There are many brand-new, high-end electronic items from SONOS, SONY, APPLE, AMAZON, GOOGLE, ACER, PHILIPS and SAMSUNG. You will also see a good variety of other highly desirable merchandise, sporting gear, and travel packages (including a trip to Bali and Italy). Plus an eclectic assortment of fine art, collectibles, and household goods.
The bidding on every item starts at only $5. Their site uses AWS (Amazon Web Services) for their e-commerce. Which means that all bidder information is as secure as it gets, and not stored or accessible.
Every bid you make is helpful, and you can get yourself something great while helping the Historic O'Keefe Ranch raise needed funds. Thanks for your support!
If you are unable to attend the live auction on Aug.17th you can place the max proxy bid that you are willing to pay, and the software will only increase your bid by the smallest bid increment needed to surpass another bidder, up to your max proxy bid placed. We are still adding more items to the auction and we are still accepting donations of items, merchandise, and gift certificates from local businesses and individuals. Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated!
