We are Better Bidders™, and we've created live-auction products that bring life and fun to auctions. If you are looking for professional auction paddles for your live auction event then you've come to the right place!Since 2003, John Murphy has personally produced thousands of orders for his more than 4,000 (mostly) non-profit customers' fundraising gala events and paddle raises. 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.

John was easy to work with and understood that as a nonprofit we needed to keep cost low. The product and service were both outstanding.
By SECU Family House at UNC H.
They fulfilled the order and were flexible with our needs, but communication was a bit spotty. Overall, the product was great and we would use this company again!
