FAQ

Bid Venues works with a variety of Consignors, representing large and small inventories, and our commissions vary accordingly. Contact us. We are especially interested in high quality goods that are of interest to our customers and we are highly motivated to work with Consignors to bring high quality wares to market.

 

We’re in search of new and used inventories of quality. We serve consumer, commercial and industrial markets and liquidate products, machinery, equipment as well as materials and supplies.
