0-100score
Flip Score
Every listing gets a 0-100 Flip Score from price, bid competition, time left, and an AI read of the condition, so a cheap for-parts lot doesn't look like a steal.
30min scrape
Fresh all day
Full scrape runs nightly, and the busiest sources are re-checked every 30 minutes through the auction day. You see new listings before most buyers do, and fewer ghost auctions. Pro polls live bids on closing lots every 45 seconds.

We don't touch your bids
Every listing links straight to the original auction. We don't take a cut, see your bid, or sit between you and the seller.
