Are you new to kindergartner's parents? And their grandparents? Of course it is feasible. Not only is it feasible, you will find the families will become quite competitive. That is going to be your real concern, the parents. The more important concern will be to encourage the children if they find out their's sold for less than someone else's. Try to avoid the children paying too much attention to the prices. Oh yes, with children, silent auction is the way to go to make the most money. You'll work harder for it to protect the kids feelings, but the school will make more money. Start with a starting minimum for each. It would REALLY help, if noone except you and the auditor knew the details of how much each piece sold for, and then forgot when the children ask for the details. Oh, and if a parent pays $300 for their little angel's piece and the entire auction raises $600, don't let them hold that over your head. They chose to pay that much for their child's artwork. Enjoy parents, and Good Luck in your efforts.<br><b>References : </b><br>Just an opinion Silent auction feasible over two weeks. Are you new to kindergartner's parents? And their grandparents?

Possibly you could charged more for the framed pieces, but make each framed piece cost the same. Just 2 prices: framed and unframed. That way, all the childrens' work has equal value.<br><b>References : </b><br> why not have set prices based on size? or if they're all the about same size, the set 1 price – same price for each piece.
