Haggle Bids Want it? Bid it. Win it. Welcome to Haggle, a Nashville-based online retail company built on a simple idea: You name the price because every item starts at just $1.00. With weekly events featuring overstock, seasonal, and closeout products sourced from major retailers, our inventory is constantly rotating—so there’s always something new to discover. How it works: 1. Items located at a specific location are grouped into an event with a set end date and time. 2. When the event closes, the highest bidder wins and is automatically charged. 3. Each event lists the days and location where items can be picked up by the winning bidder. *(Items not picked up during the scheduled window are forfeited.)* Shipping is available only for Smyrna Village. All other locations are local pickup only and cannot be shipped or transferred. With the Haggle Bids app, you can: - Register for events and create your bidder profile - Browse live and upcoming lots by location - Get real-time updates and reminders - Place bids directly through the platform - Watch live bidding events (when enabled) Whether you're deal hunting or love the thrill of bidding, Haggle Bids puts the power in your hands.
