Liquidation Without Auctions
Every major liquidation platform uses per-lot auctions. We don't. Here's why the bidding sheet model is better for professional B2B buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't you use auctions?
Per-lot auctions waste time, create unpredictable costs, and force buyers to constantly monitor platforms. Our bidding sheet system lets you set preferences once and receive products automatically via waterfall allocation.
Is waterfall allocation fair?
Yes. Highest bidder fills first, but capacity matters. A buyer bidding 9% with 5,000-unit capacity may receive more total product than a buyer bidding 14% with 200-unit capacity. The system rewards both competitive bids and volume commitment.
What if I want to change my bids?
Bidding sheets can be updated monthly. Increase bids on profitable categories, reduce on others. Your account manager can help optimize based on what you've learned.
Can I still use auction platforms alongside fba.market?
Absolutely. Many professional buyers use multiple sourcing channels. The advantage of fba.market is that it runs automatically, no active monitoring needed. Your auction time can be spent on platforms where it's the only option.
