Who should buy where
888 Lots and QuickBidz are both friendly to small budgets, but one removes the auction and one is built on it. 888 Lots sells fixed-price, negotiable, item-level-manifested lots with no minimum, shipped from New Jersey or picked up locally — a known price and a trustworthy manifest. QuickBidz runs daily auctions out of Dallas–Fort Worth on small consumer lots, typically $20–$500: electronics, tools, kitchenware, sporting goods. Bid windows are short, the post-close pickup or shipping deadline is tight, and the platform does not run its own freight, so you confirm shipping works for your address before bidding. The difference is control. 888 Lots lets you plan cost and skip the clock; QuickBidz rewards fast, local buyers who can grab cheap DFW lots and turn them quickly. Buy from 888 Lots for predictable sourcing anywhere in the country; buy from QuickBidz if you are near DFW and want low-cost lots on a rapid cycle.
FAQ
Is 888 Lots or QuickBidz cheaper to buy from?
It depends on the lot, not just the platform. 888 Lots adds no buyer’s premium — prices are fixed and negotiable; QuickBidz charges a buyer’s premium that varies by lot, with no resale certificate required. The premium is rarely the biggest cost — shipping and lot size move the true landed price more — which is why BStalker shows the same cost-per-unit (bid plus freight where the platform quotes it) for both, so you compare like for like instead of headline price.
How do lot sizes and shipping compare between 888 Lots and QuickBidz?
888 Lots starts at a single unit with no minimum order, and ships from a New Jersey warehouse, with local pickup to skip freight. QuickBidz runs daily auctions on small consumer lots, typically $20–$500, and is pickup or arrange-your-own-shipping from the Dallas–Fort Worth metro.
