Important BidItBob News & Updates

Posted on 2020-03-28

Hello faithful patrons of BidItBob Estate Liquidation & Auction!  We hope you are all doing well during this uncertain time.  
 
We know that most of you would love some quality merchandise to bid for online.  We totally understand that. We want to provide you some quality merchandise to bid for online.  I’m sure you understand that as well! So, we have a plan…..Here it is….
 
We are going to conduct  “Curbside To-Go, Credit Payment Only, Online Auctions”!  Online bidding is going to be exactly the same.  The days of the auctions will be exactly the same. Here is what will change:
 
For Sellers:  We will not be taking any consignments until further notice.
 
For Bidders:

1. Following an auction, you will receive your "Winning Bidder Invoices" with your totals.  In that invoice will be the ability for you to pay with a bank/credit card!  No cash will be accepted until further notice.
2. Once you make payment, you will have the following options to receive your items.  Call us at 308-635-1402, and we will bring your items out to your car, nicely packaged and ready to go.
   1. You can come by the auction house during these designated hours:
      1. Wednesday 5pm-7pm
      2. Thursday 5pm-7pm
      3. Saturday 8am-12pm
      4. Sunday 8am-12pm (March 29, 2020 ONLY)
   2. We can ship your items to you.  We can invoice you your totals, including shipping charges.

Note:  If any of the changes mentioned above are not going to work for you, please refrain from bidding on our auctions until “things get back on track” and we can resume our regular weekly operations.  We need all our awesome bidders to commit to these changes prior to bidding in order for this to work.
 
Why we feel the need to make these changes?

1. We currently have no staff that can work.  They are all at home with kids while school is out, or at home taking care of themselves.  So, even if we wanted to continue normal operations, it wouldn’t work because we have nobody that is able to come to run the business during the day!
2. Regardless of what you, or I think about the current pandemic, it is important to follow the recommended guidelines that have been laid out to us by local and National health professionals.  The changes we are making will help make sure we are doing our part to not only service our loyal bidders, but also make sure we are keeping people as safe as we can.

NOTE:  Depending on how things go over the coming weeks, we may need to change all of this again or completely refrain from auction entirely.  We will see how things go!
 
We hope you are as excited as we are to try this! We understand that this is not “ideal”, but it is the best option we can think of to make this work for most of us.  The other option is to “not conduct any online auctions” until further notice. We know for a fact, most of you do not like the latter option!

God bless all of you and we look forward to the day when it will be business as usual.
