Bid 13
Category: Management Software & Tech
Bid13 is an online storage auction platform where facilities list delinquent units, usually with a video of the contents, and sell them to registered bidders. It is free for facilities: no listing fees, cancellation fees or contracts. Bid13 earns a 15% buyer premium paid by the winning bidder, so the facility receives the full winning bid.
Who Bid 13 serves
- Self storage operators moving lien auctions online
