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.

By Bryan
John went the extra-mile to help me get the bid paddles in time for our fundraiser that was just days away. We received the bid paddles as promised. They are sturdy, high-quality paddles that will last a very long time. Don't do like I did and wait until the last minute to place your order. But if you do, John will do all he can to make sure you get them in plenty of time!

We ordered judges voting paddles for our Dancing Stars event. The paddles were beautiful and really complimented the events theme. We ordered them on short notice but still received them as promised. I recommend.

John at Better Bidders was extremely efficient and helpful with my requests. Our paddles for our auction were delivered with speed, and he was able to help me with additional requests after the event as well.
