Trivia Night?
Okay, I'm having a heated argument with a few parents about a trivia night silent auction. We were hosting a trivia night for my senior class to go on a trip to New York. Keep in mind that this is NOT a charitable event and that the money just goes in our pockets. We live in a small town where most families are lower or middle class. For the silent auction, students are getting baskets together that have a theme. Ex) Someone is doing movie night and putting movie tickets, popcorn, candy, etc. Someone is making a tie-fleece blanket that costs about $10 to make Some people want the silent auction to be a real silent auction. Where you have a min. bid and then people keep bidding. Others think we should do a raffle

What would be your minimum starting bid? I think your idea is very good. I personally would be more inclined to just purchasing raffle tickets. You can set it up where the person fills out all their info on the stub, that way too you can have it where the person doesnt need to be present to win. You may find that more peopel would buy tickets rather than actually go to the auction.
Also too, just be sure you are at least getting the cost back from what you incurred to put the baskets together.
Good luck!
