Online, Silent items can now be created with quantity > 1 for awarding to multiple bidders. The setup of, and bidding on, multiple vs single quantity items items are the same - the only difference is that items with multiple quantity must be awarded manually. The manual award process provides the tools needed to review eligible bids (and edit as necessary) before awarding to multiple bidders.
Tip: The quantity available is NOT displayed to the public - if you want bidders to know how many are available, you must include it in the item description eg "This item will be awarded to the top 5 bidders!"

Note that you may find a single bidder with more than one bid in the top X and may want to confirm whether they intended to win more than one before awarding.
