Could we use the webcam or a lap top to bring in ChipBoard bidders?
Would slow things down but get the people involved that couldn't be there...

or take high ChipBoard bid earlier in the day (like by noon) and throw that in if applicable

or have a phone line set up for phone in bids during that particular auction. I don't think we could do it for entire auction... but why not for a few of the fundraising lots?
