How do we get auction prizes when local businesses are already tapped out?

Youth sports and booster clubs run on a tight calendar. A banquet or fundraiser night falls right after the season, and the same small group of parents gets asked to find prizes, sell tickets, and run the show. When every team in town is asking the same pizza place and car wash, the pool of local donations runs dry fast. You end up with a short list of items that don’t spark much bidding.

Consignment packages change the math. You browse over 140 experiences, pick what fits your crowd, and list them with no upfront cost. A small set of well-chosen trips beats a long list, golf weekends, college football tickets, regional getaways that sports parents actually want. You only pay for an experience if it sells, keep 100% over the cost, and can sell experiences multiple times if the bidding gets hot. You are not too late: items can be added the same day as your event.

This week, stop asking businesses that have already given all they can. Contact Giveback XP. They will help you choose a handful of travel experiences that fit your crowd, provide ready-to-list marketing sheets, and guide you through the process. You pay nothing upfront, only for items that sell, and keep all profit above the reserve. After the event, the travel team handles booking, so your volunteers can rest.

Your auction table has trips your bidders actually want. Your volunteers aren’t burned out chasing donations. The club keeps every dollar above the starting bid, and if something doesn’t sell, you owe nothing. The treasurer can breathe easy. The focus goes back to the kids and the night.
