Special Events are large-scale sales with a set time frame for multiple listings. These are often the result of facility liquidations due to a closure or move.
Events are structured to include three main parts: Event Details | Event Listings | Listing Details
BidMed conducts two types of Special Event sales, including Sealed Bid and Timed Auction formats. Learn how to participate in Sealed Bid and Timed Auction events.

For Timed Auctions, enter your max bid and our automatic bidding system will handle the rest. A minimum value will be displayed here until you enter your own max bid.
