Most people know about auctions where there is an auctioneer talking very fast advertising items or livestock for sale. Silent auctions are usually sponsered by various entities, church groups, community organizations etc, that allow you to bid on items in a community setting or online some of the benefit gores to the organization if you bid. Onne of the them just started offering items on the Nextdoor site. Not familiar with the community org, that is sponsoring this, but might do a little research. They have a couple of things that might be worth bidding on.

It is something where you usually write a bid or post it, and if you are the highest bidder you get the item.

I have bid on some things at silent auctions when I was present, but never online.

Yeah, new to me, but I might make a bid. I have to do a bit of research on the organization that is posting it though.

I think that is the usual way it is done or with signs or something.

They aren't as common as regular auctions.
