How it works
Four steps to a defensible residual value
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
Buyers subscribe to their asset types and regions and receive matching new objects automatically by email.
Recover instead of scrap
Every placed object stays in the loop. Reuse before recycling, as the EU waste hierarchy prescribes.
Inside look
The platform in action
This is what the salvage exchange looks like for sellers and buyers, from capturing the object to the residual-value certificate.
