Frequently Asked Questions
 

• What is your cost?
  You must provide a credit card, which will be charged the price of the items you intend to offer at auction. Once your event is finished, you keep the difference between your selling (winning bid) price and our price to you for those items that sold. Any unsold items, as long as they are in undamaged condition, may be returned and your credit card will be credited for those items.
• What price advantage can CEI Sports deliver?
  Because of our close relationships with manufacturers, we offer prices substantially below retail, so your charity earns more money. What's more, our autographed items are guaranteed authentic, so there's no worry about the value of auction items.
• Does CEI Sports  make donations?
  Due to the large number of requests we receive for donated items, we developed our consignment system. This ultimately benefits charities, because it gives them the opportunity to auction numerous items, making a margin on each, rather than simply receiving a single item donated outright. We will consider donations on a case by case basis.
• Can our auction be run by CEI Sports?
  Sorry, not at this time. But we will do anything else we can to make your auction a success.
• What kinds of things factor into bigger sales ?
  The right combination of products and prices, as well as a sense of what your guests like, all factor into your success. We can advise you on these issues when we work together. We have over 25 years experience developing products that sell in this market.
• Can CEI Sports provide references?
  Yes, upon request, we will be happy to forward contact information of past clients with characteristics similar to those of your organization.
• What do you need to consider?
  Plan to succeed, the saying goes, and it is especially true to ensure the success of your event. We strongly recommend that you determine the following and have your information ready when you contact us:
