How it works

Four steps to a defensible residual value

  1. Step 1

    List the object

    Upload the vehicle registration, appraisal or cost estimate; the AI reads the technical data and fills the form. Set the bidding deadline, done.

  2. Step 2

    Sealed bids come in

    Verified commercial buyers submit sealed bids. No one sees the others’ bids, what counts is genuine willingness to pay.

  3. Step 3

    Highest bid becomes binding

    After the deadline the highest bid is the defensible residual value, binding for four weeks including the obligation to collect at the bid price.

  4. Step 4

    Residual-value certificate as PDF

    All bids with amounts and timestamps as a PDF, robust for appraisals and claims settlement. Whether to sell is entirely the seller’s decision.

No interface needed

Captured in 2 minutes, the AI reads your documents

Other exchanges need a software integration. Restbid does not. Upload the vehicle registration, appraisal or cost estimate as a PDF or photo, and our AI recognises the technical data and fills the form automatically.

  • No retyping: Make, model, first registration, mileage and more are transferred directly.
  • No integration required: Works in the browser, independent of your appraisal software.
  • Data-minimal: Uploaded files are used only for reading the data and are deleted afterwards.

Your advantages

Why Restbid instead of a classic salvage exchange

Market-based

Real market value instead of a table value: your residual value emerges from the competition of verified buyers who are looking for exactly this object.

Binding

Binding bids: every bid is valid for four weeks including the obligation to collect at the bid price.

Documented

Court-proof evidence: all bids with timestamps as a PDF residual-value certificate for appraisals and claims settlement.

Versatile

One access for everything: vehicles, machines, plant and spare parts on one platform instead of many specialist exchanges.

Web-based

Ready to go instantly: entirely in the browser, without installation or updates, on smartphone and tablet too.

Features

Everything for a defensible process

Sealed-bid process

No buyer sees the others’ bids. The highest bid reflects genuine willingness to pay, without the price-driving of open auctions.

Verified B2B partners only

Every participant proves their business registration and is manually approved. No right of withdrawal, no anonymous bids.

The right buyer network per asset type

From car dismantlers and commercial-vehicle exporters to agricultural-machinery refurbishers, every object reaches the right buyers.

PDF residual-value certificate

Bid summary with amounts, timestamps and buyer companies, robustly documented for insurers and courts.

Subscribe to categories
