This is an informal, small-industry benefit auction run in good faith at the tradeshow — not a licensed or regulated auction sale. Highest bid at close wins the lighthouse; payment and pickup are arranged in person with the organizer. All proceeds benefit the Lake Placid Adaptive Ski Program. Bids placed here are visible to everyone using this page.

Closing the auction locks in the current high bid as the winner and stops new bids. This can't be undone from here.
