Auction Procurement Training

Getting items donated is easier when you’re told WHAT to get, and HOW to do it.

Every Item Guide gives you at least 100 actual items from real charity auctions that sold above value in their respective auctions.

Some items are self-explanatory and list titles only. The others include full descriptions — many with values — so you can understand packaging, wording, and pricing.
