We are Better Bidders™, and we've created live-auction products that bring life and fun to auctions.

Born from a desire to bring better tools to the marketplace for fundraising, our paddle products stand above others in unique, detailed designs, superior reusable plastics, a wide breadth of plastic options, a "missing-paddle" fill-in service, and a personal, "can do" approach to bringing your paddle ideas come to life.At every step of your journey John is your one and only point of contact. He is it. And he does it all. No big, faceless, promotional products company or other inexperienced sign or print shop that "can" make a paddle, but rather a veteran in the live auction fundraising space with years of creative ideas, best practices, and applied knowledge beyond all others. Trusted by Christie's Auction House, Sotheby's, and nearly every other major auction house, we bring quality and our personal touch to everything we do.

Better Bidders consistently provided our organization quality products in a timely manner. From first contact to last touch always the best. Highly recommend using Better Bidders for your auction paddle needs!
By Sharon J.
John was helpful from the point of inquiry, sent samples per my request, and helped us iterate the design until it was just right. The paddles came out great and we're pleased with the final result.

By Debi S.
The interaction with John was great! He is very responsive and it made the process so much easier. This is not my first time ordering with Better Bidders. The quality is great. I ordered 3mm White Sintra PVC plastic auction paddles and each side had different full color artwork. Separate set up fees for each side. I would love to see a pre-determined shipping fee options when placing the order online. Overall, fast, accommodating and great quality!
