Private schools are sold on online auctions
If asked, and she usually is, Donna Bates will buy the $9 roll of wrapping paper to support her niece's school.
She'd also drop $850 on four Red Sox tickets for the same worthy cause.
From a professional fundraiser's perspective, that's a home run.
This spring, Stoneridge Montessori School in Beverly is tapping out-of-state relatives like Bates by putting its annual auction items online. Instead of one night a year, the auction now lasts two weeks and is open to anyone with a credit card and a computer.
"In the past, I've always been called upon to baby-sit so mommy and daddy can attend the auction," said Bates, of Stratham, N.H. "I wouldn't have the ability to even bid on them, and that is the wonderful thing."
Stoneridge isn't the only North Shore private school using online auctions to capitalize on far-flung alumni, relatives and family friends.

Bidding problems cause delay on courthouse construction
