Bidding blind on BidRL auctions? BidMax tells you what an item is really worth and the most you should pay — before you place a bid. Built for BidRL bidders, resellers, and flippers, BidMax pairs AI-powered resale estimates with a profit-based max-bid calculator so every bid is a smart bid. WHAT BIDMAX DOES • AI resale estimates — get an estimated resale value for auction lots so you know what an item can actually sell for. • Max-bid calculator — set your target margin and BidMax calculates the highest bid that still leaves you a profit, factoring in the buyer's premium. • Browse by location — pull live items from your BidRL auction location and scroll the whole catalog in one place. • Live bid tracking — current bid, bid count, and a real-time countdown that update automatically. • Search & filters — find items fast and sort by ending soonest, current bid, or A–Z. • Top Picks (Pro) — jump straight to the best profit opportunities, ranked for you. FREE VS PRO Free: browse every item at your location, track live bids, and reveal a set number of AI analyses each day. BidMax Pro: unlimited AI analyses, Top Picks deal rankings, and the full toolkit for serious resellers. SUBSCRIPTION • BidMax Pro is $9.99/month, billed to your Apple ID. • Your subscription auto-renews monthly unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. WHO IT'S FOR Resellers, flippers, and arbitrage hunters working BidRL liquidation, returns, and overstock auctions who want to stop overpaying and start winning the right lots. DON'T SEE YOUR LOCATION? Tap "Request this location" and we'll work on adding it. IMPORTANT BidMax is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by BidRL. Resale estimates are AI-generated approximations, not guarantees of actual sale price. Always do your own research and bid responsibly — you are solely responsible for your bids and purchases.

BinGo Auctions is your local online auction. We sell real, physical goods — retail returns, shelf pulls, overstock, and general merchandise — in auctions that start at $1 and close on a schedule you can watch live from your phone. HOW IT WORKS • Browse hundreds of live lots with photos, condition notes, and retail-price comparisons • Filter by category (pick as many as you like), condition, and price — or swipe through lots one at a time, full screen • Place a max bid and let the app bid for you up to your limit • Watch lots and get push notifications when you're outbid, when lots close soon, and when you win • Win: your card on file is charged automatically and your invoice is ready in seconds • Pick up locally — your Pickup Pass QR shows staff everything you've won, with a walk list ordered aisle by aisle LOCAL PICKUP Everything is pickup-only at a BinGo Auctions warehouse. Current locations and hours are always up to date at bingoauctions.com. Bring your Pickup Pass (in the app or on the site), and our staff will check out all your open orders in one visit. STRAIGHT-SHOOTING RULES • Lots are sold as-is with the condition stated on the listing — inspect before you leave • All sales are final once you leave the warehouse • Your card is saved securely with Square when you sign up; we never see or store card numbers • No bidder platform fees — the hammer price plus any stated buyer's premium and sales tax is what you pay PROHIBITED ITEMS We don't sell firearms, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, hazardous materials, counterfeits, or anything requiring a federal license to transfer. Full list at bingoauctions.com/legal/prohibited-items. YOUR DATA We collect what's needed to run the auctions: your bid history, a tokenized payment method (card processing by Square), and pickup contact info. We don't sell your data and we don't share it with advertisers. Privacy Policy: bingoauctions.com/legal/privacy. ABOUT US BinGo Auctions is a family-run auction business based in Arkansas.
