Silent Auction Display Software | Free Bid Board Screen

Why Use a Digital Silent Auction Display?

Traditional silent auctions use paper bid sheets on tables. The problem? Guests don't know what's happening across the room. They miss items. They don't know if they've been outbid.

A digital display changes everything. Guests see all items and current bids at a glance. Competition increases. And when bidders see they're losing, they bid again.

Silent Auction Display FAQ

Do guests bid through the display?

No — FreeAuctionSite is a display tool only. Guests still write bids on paper sheets. You (or a volunteer) update the display manually as bids come in. This keeps the classic silent auction feel while adding visibility.

Can I use multiple screens?

Yes! Open the same display link on multiple TVs around your venue. They all stay in sync automatically.

What if the internet goes down?

The display continues showing the last loaded data. When internet returns, it reconnects automatically.

Is it really free?

Yes! Up to 10 auction items is completely free with no signup. Most silent auctions fit within this limit.
