Simple. Powerful. Free.
0% platform fee*.
Competitors claim to be "free" but restrict your auction size, show ads, and charge platform fees.
"Free" really means "free"! We rely on optional tips from winning bidders to cover our costs.
A typical auction. A real comparison.
Consider an auction with 200 items and winning bids totaling $45,000.
