GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE...
If you can't make it to Cones 'n Cars ('n Collectibles!), we've got you covered!
We are excited to have online bidding available in addition to in-person bidding! You are also welcome to use the online bidding platform while you are at the event if you prefer that method.
When placing a bid online via Zeffy, your credit card will not be charged unless you are the winner of the auction. If you are the highest bidder at the end of the auction period, you will be notified and your credit card charged (unless you select to pay offline, in which case we will invoice you and collect payment before giving you the item).
​
On the Zeffy check-out screen, there will be a small box requesting an optional donation to Zeffy. If you would like to opt out, simply select "Other Amount" from the dropdown and enter $0.00. The drop-down defaults to a 15% donation. Please make sure to check your total amount before pressing submit!
Place your bids on a variety of exciting memorabilia items! Bid on collectible sports cards, autographed sports equipment, a prototype sneaker designed for a basketball legend, and more!

WHY THE SILENT AUCTION?
Community Media is in trouble. Media centers like NewTV are funded primarily by a surcharge added onto the cable bills of local cable subscribers. As more people "cut the cord" in favor of streaming services, fewer cable subscribers means less money for Community Media.​
Did you know that:​
-
Other Newton non-profit organizations utilize NewTV's facilities to drum-up support for their missions, educate the community, or provide a creative outlet for their own members.
-
Our school-to-work program allows local high school students to gain valuable real world production experience while participating in their school's A/V Club.
-
Area college students studying Communications or Journalism are encouraged to apply for our Newton News internship program and Lipof Fellowship.
Without proper funding, we lose the ability to provide these (and even more) essential services to residents of Newton and its surrounding areas. Our silent auction will help us to recoup some of the funds lost to cord cutting. Your support for local media is invaluable - not only to NewTV - but to our whole community.
