Can we get Memorabilia or Charity Travel Packages from BW Unlimited?

BW Unlimited is asked frequently if nonprofits can acquire items such as the memorabilia or excursions only, the answer to this is Yes.  BW Unlimited provides their long list of exclusive Consignment Auction items to their clients across North America and is truly considered to be the Premier Fundraising "One Stop Shop."  BW Unlimited offers Charities everything they could possibly want or need with top-notch customer service.  The BW Unlimited difference is that we truly believe that our "Consignment Auction Items" have to be offered at extremely low prices so that our Charity Partners profit.  BW Unlimited offers these items at absolutely "rock bottom" prices and we urge everyone to compare our items against all others.  For these reasons, this is the primary reason BW Unlimited is the #1 searched fundraising firm on Google.  


What does “consignment Auction Item” mean?

We are asked all the time what Consignment Auction Items are.  Basically this, over the many years we have been assisting nonprofits all over the United States, we have been lucky enough to begin business relationships with some of the nation’s best Memorabilia and excursion providers.  Based on this professional and contractual relationship, these providers allow BW Unlimited to provide these items on a “Consignment” basis.  These items are given to BW Unlimited for use by their exclusive list of nonprofit clients, to assist in raising money for their mission at their events.  The Consignment prices are well below wholesale and if they do not sell, these items are sent back and nothing is paid for them.  However, if the items sell at the events, then the client need only pay the low consignment cost and keep the profit made from the item.  Basically, there is no risk because if it doesn’t sell, it is returned.


What up front fees do we have to pay to get consignment Auction Items for our next event?

We often hear this exact question but the answer remains...nothing.  There are no up front fees, no post dated checks, no credit card applications - nothing.  We also hear "This is too good to be true."  Well, it's good and it's true but it's not too good to be true.  You let us know what will work best at your next Charity Fundraising!


Is the signed memorabilia authentic?

All of the Signed Memorabilia, whether it be Celebrity or Sports have Certificates of Authenticity.  These items are from the nation’s leading memorabilia providers with a very long history of professionalism.  BW Unlimited refuses to carry any item which it's authenticity is questionable.  All of our items are 3rd Party authenticated 100% of the time. BW Unlimited provides a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with every item which is autographed and will not accept any item from a provider which the authenticity is questionable.


How many people do we need to hold a fundraiser?

In order to host a successful fundraising event, an organizations needs to gather as many volunteers as possible.  A successful fundraising event cannot be held with only a handful of people.  The more volunteers the better.  Furthermore, volunteers are needed to help sell tickets and work your event.  Gather as many volunteers as possible and let’s get started!!
