We have used Auction Maestro Pro for 3 very successful auctions and are about to have our 4th. I am very familiar with the program and like it. Not everything is completely intuitive but it is not that hard to figure out. Reasonably quick response time when you have questions, especially MaestroWeb, which I recommend using for your event, so that multiple people can use the database and do entry.
Supposedly, AuctionPay has new software out which some people like better. I am about to have my first experience with that this spring for my daughter's middle school.
Has anyone had any experience with this company? My silent auction co-chair spoke with a rep today and I would like to get some objective opinions rather than go solely on the glowing reviews they provided.
