Great Items For Your Event

High value items add excitement to your event and income to your organization but trying to collect valuable items for a fundraising auction can be an exhausting task for event organizers….so we’ll do it for you!

Everyone loves trips. We’ve obtained vacations to Italy, Ireland, France, England, Belgium, the Caribbean, China, even an African photo safari and a perfect couple’s escape to the South Pacific for our clients. We have also obtained trips to Holland during tulip time and a flight in a 1500 mile-an-hour jet fighter. One client wanted an incredible, behind the scenes visit to the Czar’s Summer Palace, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. Another watched diamonds being mined in South Africa and then hand-selected the one she wanted for her own. We even acquired a vacation for 12 people on a private 165-foot luxury mega-yacht that sold for $60,000!

We recently obtained an Arnold Palmer autographed pin flag from the Masters Tournament that sold for $10,000 in less than 4 minutes, and an autographed group photo of other famous athletes sold for $100,000 in less than 7 minutes.

How about an incredible trip to the Kremlin in Moscow conducted by a former KGB Colonel, a Christmas cruise down the Blue Danube to Vienna, or golf on Scotland’s most famous courses, including St. Andrew’s! These are the types of items that ensure your attendees will be excited about your event and auction long before and after your event.

We have obtained cars, boats, cruises, valuable watches and precious jewelry for our clients. We’ve also acquired hard-to-get television show and Broadway tickets complete with round trip airfare to New York and Hollywood, limousines to the theater. Original art from world famous artists. We’ve sent winning bidders to the Emmy Telecast and Oscar Night in Hollywood. We’ve produced trips to the Kentucky Derby, the Super Bowl, Wimbledon, the Final 4 basketball championship, the NBA finals, the World Series, and even had a winning bidder play spring training baseball with the Major League Baseball dream team from the winning bidder’s youth.

Winning bidders have trained for spaceflight with Russian Cosmonauts and flown twice the speed of sound in the fastest jet fighter ever built. Our winners have taken flying lessons from famous astronauts and 200 mile-an-hour driving lessons from real NASCAR champions.

Winners have danced the Vienna Waltz in Vienna at Christmastime and watched the US Presidential Inaugural Parade from VIP seats in Washington.

We’ve acquired behind the scenes tours of Capital Hill personally conducted by noted Congressmen; recently we acquired a special guided excursion of the White House. We have even acquired sports memorabilia from world-class athletes and souvenirs from Air Force One.

Among our best trips were a journey on the real Orient Express and a 30 day journey around the world for four people.
