Restbid

Salvage value exchange for machinery & equipment

Salvage values the market

Automotive salvage exchanges don't reach machinery buyers. Restbid brings damaged machines and used equipment to the dealers, dismantlers and exporters who bid on them — sealed, binding, documented.

Early access: listing and bidding currently free of charge.

Process

From listing to salvage value certificate

Every step is logged with a timestamp — the bid summary can be used as evidence in appraisals and claims settlement.

  1. Day 0

    List the asset

    Photos, condition description, location and optionally an appraisal excerpt. Set the bidding deadline — done.

  2. Days 1–5

    Sealed bids come in

    Verified commercial bidders place sealed bids. Nobody sees anyone else's bid — what counts is true willingness to pay.

  3. Deadline

    Bids become binding

    Every bid remains valid for 14 days. The bidder commits to collecting the asset at the bid price.

  4. Afterwards

    Salvage value certificate as PDF

    Bid summary with amounts, timestamps and bidder companies — solid documentation for appraisals and insurers.
