Disk No: 1388 Program Title: THE WINNING BID version 1.3 PC-SIG version 1 I have a dollar, do I have two dollars? Two dollars, two dollars..sold! THE WINNING BID is a bonanza for both professionals and amateurs turning to auctions to raise big bucks. It lets you trace merchandise from donors or the house on through to the purchaser, reporting who receives what, and how much was the bid price. The 70-page manual tutors hobbyists on how to set up and operate this profitable fundraiser. THE WINNING BID records sellers or donors, and consigned merchandise, providing pre-sale receipts. Post-sale statements double as receipts for tax purposes and allow buyers to pick up merchandise. Merchandise lots are tagged with lot numbers, a description, and minimum bid if needed. Date, time and amount of sales are recorded along with the buyers' identities. The program prints paddle numbers in advance, and tracks buyers by paddle number and the merchandise they bought, and even adds sales tax where appropriate. It can combine lots, track bids made under the minimum and record seller alterations to bid prices after the sale is complete. Buyers can close and pay for their purchases at any time during the auction or after its completion. Likewise, sellers can be paid at any time or limited to payment when the purchasers of their merchandise pay. Synopsis: Everything you need to run a successful auction but the auctioneer!
