MCAA Fourth Annual Online Auction a Huge Success

Record number of bidders, donors help make auction the best to date

By Tim O’Toole

A record number of bidders and companies participated in the Mason Contractors Association of America's Fourth Annual Online Auction from May 19th to May 21st.

Contractors were able to bid on several new, name brand items for half the cost of retail including a mast climber, scaffolding, saws, wall bracing, mortar boards, trowels and much more. Bidding has never been more exciting than it was this year, but there could only be one winner for each of the great items! Many products came down to the final seconds, making it an exciting auction for all involved!
