The lot.

description

Your own word. Nothing is fixed.

fair_market_value_cents
integer | null

ONLY WHAT A WINNER PAYS ABOVE THIS IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE, and three answers are possible. Omit the field, or send null, to say nobody has worked it out: a receipt can then claim no deductible amount. Send 0 to say the winner receives nothing of value, which makes the whole bid deductible - a claim you are making, and usually right for a donated service. Send a number for what the winner receives. Omitting it and sending 0 are NOT the same thing.

donor_person_id
string | null

Somebody already on your people list.

donor_credit
string | null

Only when it differs from their name on file.

photo_file_ids
string[]
status
enum<string>

id
string
auction_id
string

What the lot stands at. Null until somebody has bid.

leading_bidder_id
string | null
bid_count
integer
winner_bidder_id
string | null
winning_bid_cents
integer | null

What the lot stood at when the bidding stopped.

deductible_cents
integer | null

What the winner may deduct: the winning bid above the lot's fair market value. NULL IS NOT ZERO. Null means no fair market value was recorded, so no deductible amount can be claimed at all; zero means the bid was at or under the value and none of it was a gift.

closed_at
string | null

When closing decided this lot. Present on a lot with no bids too: closed and undecided are different things.

collected_at
