- The displayed Hogwarts broom-bid is explicitly marked DEMO; the site says real bids stay sealed until their deadline.
Field notes
The homepage describes a review step before notices go public: a second staff member at the institution must approve them. Vendors can register without an LLC, but registration requires a W-9 and insurance certificate; the site says tax forms go only to the awarding school. Its public API is described as open JSON with no key required, while the homepage reports just one active opportunity and labels the example listing DEMO.
