[Items Overview & Setup](https://support.cbo.io/items?hsLang=en#items-overview-setup) # 🏆 Awarding Multiple Winners for a Silent Auction Item ### 👥 What Does This Do? If **two bidders agree to split** the purchase of a silent auction item (like a group dinner or a multi-person experience), you'll need to **manually create duplicate items and assign bids** so each can be processed properly in the system. Our system allows only **one winner per Silent item**, so to split the win, you’ll create a second item and manually assign a winner to each. --- ### 🔁 Step 1: Duplicate the Silent Auction Item 1. Go to **Items** \> **Manage Items** 2. Select the checkbox next to the item you want to award to multiple people 3. Scroll to the **Batch Update** section at the bottom 4. From the dropdown, select **Duplicate** 5. Type **Duplicate** in the confirmation field 6. Click **Update** 7. Click **OK** on the confirmation popup 8. A **copy** of your original item will now appear in the list Rename your duplicated item (e.g., “Dinner for Two - Copy”) so you can easily distinguish it. --- ### 🛠️ Step 2: Change the Item Type (if needed) 1. Find the duplicated item in your list 2. Click the **green pencil** to edit 3. Change the **Item Type** to **Live** 4. Click **Update**    Live items allow you to **manually assign multiple winners** and set custom amounts per bidder.          ![](https://support.cbo.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-07-2026-07-40-45-5209-PM.png?width=187&height=343&name=image-png-Feb-07-2026-07-40-45-5209-PM.png) --- ### 🧮 Step 3: Split the Bid Between Winners 1. Go to **Event Central** \> **Butler** \> **Add A Bid** 2. Select your **Live item (the duplicated version)** 3. Add **50% of the bid amount** to **Bidder 1** 4. Add the **remaining 50%** to **Bidder 2**   Adjust percentages or amounts as needed, this method works even if one winner paid more than the other! --- ### 🧹 Step 4: Remove Bids From the Original Silent Item 1. Go back to **Items** \> **Manage Items** 2. Click the **green “has bids”** tag next to the original silent item 3. Click the **X** next to each bid until all bidders are removed **Warning:** If you only remove the **highest bidder**, the system will automatically assign the item to the **next highest bidder**. You **must remove all bids** to avoid incorrect winners. --- #### ✅ You're All Set! Each bidder now has a separate item recorded with their correct contribution, making post-event invoicing and reporting accurate and easy. - [Account & Setup](https://support.cbo.io/account-setup?hsLang=en#main-content) -
