As part of our 2025 Annual Benefit, Cocktails & Constellations, SVT is planning an online auction filled with items donated by area businesses and individuals.
We will open the online auction on Friday, February 21, at 5:00 pm. The auction will run through the following week and will close on Saturday, March 1, at 10:00 pm, during the Annual Benefit.
Everyone is welcome to participate, whether or not you are attending the Benefit!
Here’s how to join in the fun and bid:
SVT has partnered with 32auctions.com to create and manage the auction. Our Online Benefit Auction will include dozens of items and services donated by area businesses in support of SVT's work.
How it works:
- To bid, you must create a free account to register your name and email address with 32auctions.com. (If you already have an account with 32auctions.com, there's no need to set up a new one. )
Registration is quick and easy. Go to https://32auctions.com, click the Login option at the top right, and follow the instructions to set up your free account. - During the week of February 16, SVT will send an email with a link to our specific 32auctions.com Auction website: https://www.32auctions.com/SVTBenefit2025. We will also post the URL on the Benefit page of our website and on our social media channels.
You can click on that URL to access the SVT Auction website, read about the auction items, and plan your bidding strategy. The auction can be accessed via computer, phone, or tablet devices. - The auction will automatically open for bidding on Friday, February 21, at 5:00 pm. Return to the SVT Auction Page between February 21 and March 1 to place your bids!
- Between February 21 and March 1, bidders will receive a series of e-mails from 32auctions to confirm bids, to notify when bids are outbid, and to confirm a winning bid at the close of the auction.
- 32auctions also has a “Buy Now” option for items with multiple quantities. To buy now, just click the “Buy Now” button on that item and select how many items you wish to buy. With “Buy Now” there is no bidding against another bidder – the first person to press “Buy Now” will have purchased the item.
- Please wait until the end of the auction to pay your final invoice via credit card or Paypal.
- The online auction will close at 10:00 pm on Saturday, March 1.
- When the auction closes, you will receive an e-mail notification from 32auctions.com with a record of your bids. This email will include a final invoice that can be paid online.
All proceeds from the 2025 Benefit Online Auction will support Sudbury Valley Trustees.
We appreciate your participation and your generosity – but we also hope you’ll have fun bidding!
Payment Options
At the end of the auction, you will receive an email from 32auctions.com letting you know what item(s) you have won. The email will include a View Your Invoice button. Please click that button, and you will have the option of paying for your item through PayPal or with your credit card.
If you do not wish to use PayPal or your credit card, you may also pay by check when you pick up your items.
Picking Up Your Items
Winners may pick up their items between Tuesday, March 4, and Friday, March 7, 2025, between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm at SVT's office at 18 Wolbach Road, Sudbury, MA 01776.
If you are paying by credit card or PayPal, please pay for your items in advance of arriving at our office. If you are paying by check, you may pay at the office.
Items not paid for by Friday, March 7, will be offered to the next highest bidder unless specific arrangements have been made regarding payment and pick-up (by appointment). SVT cannot ship items, so if you bid on a large item, be sure you have a vehicle that can transport your item home.
Please note: Auction items with no specified expiration date must be redeemed within one year of the auction end date (by March 1, 2026).
