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! )
