A note about “Buy Now” pricing…  This year we’ve added a “Buy Now” feature to many items.  This means that bidders can bypass the uncertainty of the bidding process and purchase desired items instantly!  Most of our “Buy Now” items reflect a modest (few dollars) premium on the face-value of the item—typically with gift cards. 

With the full face value of the gift card returning to bidder with the item purchase, we hope that our bidding school supporters will consider the small additional amounts as modest school donations offered in exchange for the instant purchase option!
