Start at $1
Every DoBid auction starts at $1, allowing local buyers to compete through bidding.

Review the highest offer
When the auction ends, the seller has 48 hours to accept or decline the highest offer.

Arrange local pickup
If accepted, the buyer pays the seller directly and both parties arrange pickup through DoBid.

Seller keeps control
After the auction ends, the seller can accept or decline the highest offer.
