Bid Barn – Warehouse

ABOUT US

A local family run business since 2013, Bidbarn Tender Centre has quickly established themselves as the go to auction house in Newcastle, for all things buying and selling.

We receive an average of 1000 items every Monday to Thursday which are auctioned off using our own silent auction software every weekend.

Each auction is a surprise as we don’t know what item and goodies will be bought to us which means our stock never gets boring, continually changes and offers something for everyone’s tastes, budgets, styles and interests.

Everything from rustic to plastic, pretty to pretty up required, unique and bizarre, everyday to timeless, handy to exquisite and all things inbetween.

“What will you find in the barn?”

A great place with such a variety of items. We have been bidding at Bidbarn for the past few years and have got everything from bargains to boats! It’s our weekend hangout! Would recommend a visit

Last year, I had to move house for work. I was downsizing from a townhouse to a unit. I had heaps of furniture and homewares that I had to sell quickly. I delivered my pre-loved items to Bidbarn and they sold all my items in under 3 weeks and I didn’t even have to advertise! Not to mention the great prices I got for my stuff. A fantastic way to sell your goods without the hassle of strangers in your home or ‘no-shows’!

I’m a self confessed Barn-a-holic’! The best thing about Bidbarn is you don’t know what will be in the auction week to week. Walking in each Saturday is like a whole new store. I personally love the tools and hardware section but have also picked up some nice jewellery for my better half.

I used to have garage sales as a way to sell my stuff. It was time consuming, expensive when advertising, and I always had to have those tricky face-to-face negotiations. Now, I drop my items off at BidBarn and they take all the hassle out of it. No-one knocking at my door at 6am AND I get my weekends back to do what I want! The best thing is getting an email bout how your goods went over the auction, you can get a real buzz when you sell an item for well over the reserve price! Try it, you won’t be disappointed!

So what exactly is a tender

centre?( Glad you asked! )

BidBarn Tender Centre is a place where people like you, the general public, importers, furniture dealers, second hand dealers, local businesses and Government bodies drop off items to sell on a commission basis using a ‘silent auction’ process. A silent auction just means that you are not aware of the other bids on the item/s up for tender. Bidders are to place a bid on the item/s they want to own, then at the end of the auction period we tally all bids on every item and the highest bidder over reserve ‘wins’ that item/s. All items have a reserve displayed which is set by the owner which gives you an indication of what price they are wanting for the item. Every week we have many items that are ‘no reserve’ meaning a bid of $2 or higher has a chance of owning that item.
Its an exciting way of buying and results are sent by email on Sunday night for the bidders convenience. Otherwise a simple phone call Monday morning can find out your results. You then collect Monday to Thursday after the sale. Tender Centres are a fantastic way to give your treasures a new home and make some spare cash while doing so! Fast turnover with little effort required on your part makes dealing with us a no brainer.
We receive on average 1000 ‘new’ items per week meaning we cannot predict what will come in. So each week is like a new store! So what exactly is a tender centre?( Glad you asked! )
