How Proxy Bidding Works

How to Place a Proxy Bid

1. Log in to the Discover Moose Jaw Online Auction.

2. Find the item you want to bid on.

3. Locate the box between Quick Bid and Submit Max Bid.

4. Enter the maximum dollar amount you’re willing to pay. (this box is in the red rectangle in the example below)

5. Click Submit Max Bid.

Once submitted, the system will automatically increase your bid as needed until it reaches your maximum.

Searching for an Item

With 1,298 items spread across 13 pages, it’s easy to miss something—or overlook that there may be multiple listings for the same gift card. For example, before bidding $48 on a $50 gift card, take a moment to search. You may find the same gift card with a lower current bid.
