When you sign up to bid you will be asked:

• For a PayPal account or credit card to have on file. This ensures winning bids, at the end of the auction, are processed securely and quickly. You will be prompted to confirm your win before a charge is made. You will not be charged if you do not win. We do not use credit card information for any other purposes.

• You will be asked to cover processing fees. This saves WGDR money! We appreciate if you cover them, but it is not required.

• You can be public or an anonymous bidder. Either way is still fun!

And, if you don’t see an item you want to bid on, please consider leaning into our “season of new sustainers!” We’re looking to get 25 supporters to become a new monthly donor by Labor Day. For just $5 a month, you could fund the WGDR/WGDH programming you love and rely on. It’s like bidding on the station AND winning it all at once!

Or, buy some station swag! We have hats, tshirts (with the new tower design and in kid sizes), bags, and more for sale on our website.

Take good care folks and thanks for listening, and soon, bidding!
