BDDW holds frequent auctions that are accessible through our very own auction platform, where great deals can be found on a range of select BDDW items: an eclectic mix of one-offs, prototypes, misfit floor models, and brand-new pieces designed by Tyler Hays. Our auctions are the only way to access our archival, collectable works, holiday puzzle batches, and auction-only pieces. This app makes our already popular auction platform more accessible and user-friendly: notifications sent directly to your iPhone, streamlined bidding, and more.
