Swampscott TV Auction - May 21 to May 24 - Item List

Win bargains and support the students!  Swampscott High School TV Production students, teachers and community members bring you the annual SHS-TV auction, from 7-10 pm each night on Comcast Channel 15 (in Swampscott) and Verizon Channel 40 (in Swampscott, Lynn and Nahant), from Monday, May 21st to Thursday, May 24th.

As you watch the show, call the students on the phone bank and bid by phone on hundreds of items from the comfort of your home.  Every half-hour, a different set of hosts - students, faculty, alumni and members of local organizations - bring you a new set of items for your bidding pleasure.

All business donors receive extensive publicity during the auction and a full-screen ad that runs for six months on Comcast and Verizon Cable-TV.  For more information, contact any TV Production student or their teacher at reid@swampscott.k12.ma.us.

Here are just a few of the most valuable items we've received so far.  By auction week, there should be close to 100 items up for bid each night. and the Patch will be printing fuller descriptions of each one.
