August 22, 2016

Habitat Wake ReStores are excited to announce our very first in-store silent auction!

Date: Sept 2-17

Location: Raleigh ReStore, 2420 N Raleigh Blvd.

The nitty gritty:

  • You must come into the store to make your bids in person. None will be accepted over the phone, online, or via social media.
  • To bid, first register for a bidder number by filling out a quick form at the cash register.
  • Once you have your bidder number in hand, bid away! Please be mindful of minimum increases. You can bid as many times as you want and on as many different pieces as you want.
  • When the auction concludes we will contact the winners to please come pay and collect their pieces within two business days.
  • All proceeds benefit Habitat Wake's mission to build affordable homes in Wake County. We appreciate your support!
