Before you get started

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Where can I use BidBud?

Open BidBud Browse in your browser. It brings live auction discovery and vehicle research into one workspace, with the fullest experience on desktop.

Do I need the Chrome extension?

No. Browse is a web app. The optional Chrome extension adds BidBud research when you visit supported auction listings directly.

What will I find on the blog?

Vehicle guides, auction explainers, and market stories to help you understand the cars and the buying process.

Does BidBud place bids for me?

No. BidBud is advisory software. It does not place, cancel or automate bids. You decide whether to participate and what to bid on the auction platform.

Are these live prices or guaranteed valuations?

No. Historical sales provide context, not a guaranteed value. Availability and relevance vary by vehicle. Cost estimates depend on fees and assumptions you should verify for your purchase.

Which auction sites can I explore?

Start with Bring a Trailer listings in Browse. The app shows the available auction sources and lets you filter your search by platform.

Where can I read BidBud’s privacy policy?
