Startup Week auction market
Put yours in. Bid on theirs.
Anyone here can put something in, and anyone here can bid on it. Joe Slaughter got it started with a few of his favorite Twin Cities businesses, so there are already 21 items on the market.
Bidding closed Friday at 6 PM. Nothing is charged when you bid. Being outbid is not the end of it: every bid stays in line, so if whoever wins does not pay, it comes down to the next person at the price they bid.
Everything raised supports Twin Cities Startup Week operations and programs. beta.mn.
