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.
