HOLIDAY AUCTION TO RAISE MONEY FOR ACB
by Brenda Dillon

ACB is trying a new approach for auctioning items for the upcoming holidays. This gives you the option of finding great gifts for the holidays without leaving the comfort of your home. At the same time, you can be proud to support ACB. Check it out for yourself and tell all your friends, visually impaired or not. Items may be added throughout the holiday season, so check out the site often.

Also, if you have any wonderful items, including yummy holiday goodies, gift cards or certificates you are willing to donate, please contact Dena Wilson in the national office for details. See the step-by-step instructions provided below for accessing the cMarket auction site. Happy holidays, and have fun shopping with ACB! How to Register

To register, go to www.acb.cmarket.com and click on or go to the "register" button located under the banner at the top of the page. This will take you to the registration screen, where you have to complete a form with your personal information (name and address, etc.). You also must create a username and password. The username must be between 4 and 32 characters, and the password must be 7-32 letters and numbers. You must check the box with the statement "I agree to cMarket’s terms" and then click on the "submit" button. You will get another screen confirming that you have been registered and you will be automatically in the system. You can then logout and log back in with your username and password. The Other Way to Register

Simply click on the "sign in to bid" button, which takes you to the registration form. It will ask you for your name and address, as well as credit card information. Be sure to fill out all fields. After that you can start bidding. Remember to sign out after bidding.

Note: Whenever you return to the site, your username will automatically appear. Once you find the username and click in the box, tab to get to the password box, type in your password, then tab to the sign-in box and hit enter. How to Place a Bid

Bids can be made by clicking on "view all items." Next, select the item on which you wish to place a bid. That will take you to a screen with that item on it.
