Information about the auction, such as the highest bid or if the buyer has won are then emailed to the buyer.<\/p>\n<p>Organizers and partners of the auction covered the associated setup and operation costs, including credit card fees. All proceeds will go directly to the businesses, which are responsible for sales taxes and shipping items.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan said the idea was based on a similar online auction in Chaffee County.&nbsp;It was organized with the help of the towns of Breckenridge, Dillon, Frisco and Silverthorne as well as area event organizations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a really great collaborative effort with all of the towns as well as Keystone Neighbourhood Co. and Copper Mountain Resort (Organization),\u201d Ryan said. \u201cSo we\u2019ve all pulled together as a team for marketing and setup expenses and then the Summit Chamber is administrating it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The groups aim to raise $100,000 for local businesses through the auction. As of Monday afternoon, $2,838 already had been raised, making up about 3% of the goal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s going to continue to grow,\u201d Ryan said. \u201cJust today, it\u2019s blowing up. The value on our items is over $350,000. Several items have already been purchased and bid on, so I\u2019m excited to see how it grows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The page also accepts donations to local organizations such as The Summit County Cares Campaign.
