My experience with Better Bidders was great. John was extremely helpful and attentive. I called and emailed with questions and he was always patient and helpful. I received my order and was very pleased with the quality. We will definitely use them in the future. I would recommend Better Bidders for all your auction needs.

The bid board houses were s huge hit at our auction. Our Habitat for Humanity has a Holiday Dinner and Auction each year to raise money to build homes. This years receipts were the largest percentage thus far in our 18 year history. I have carefully packed the bid board houses away for future auctions. They held up just fine and look like new. Thank you for this product. It was a visual reminder to us all evening of why were there. In addition to having a wonderful catered dinner we had our bid board houses in front of us waiting for the auction to start. Thank you, Linda Hamilton, E.D. Tillamook County Habitat for Humanity

John at Better Bidders did a great job of responding to our immediate need. He was able to pull up our order from 3 years ago and turn around some more in less than 48 hours. Highly recommend!

We are a non profit organization that holds a couple of large events each year and relies on live auctions as a significant source of our fundraising success. This year we decided that purchasing paddles would be something different and fun for the bidders. We were so very pleased with the outcome!! The paddles were superior to anything we had used prior and it may have contributed to the increased activity at the last gala. Donors liked them so much that we believe a few took the paddles home with them and we ended up needing some replacements. The delivery of replacement paddles required more follow up conversations with Better Bidders than I thought was necessary but in the end, they did arrive in time for the next event.

I needed the project executed in less than 24-hours and shipped overnight for use the next day. They delivered! The quality of product was better than we had expected and the turnaround was remarkable.

I needed numbered paddles for our paddle up auction fast. Better Bidders had them delivered by the next day! Great service and product that will be used again and again. Thank you for saving the day!
