About

Bidbus operates an online dealer-auction marketplace for consumer-owned vehicles in California and Texas. Sellers list a car, set a private minimum price, and receive competing bids from its network of verified local dealers during a two-hour live auction. Bidbus does not buy the vehicle itself; the winning dealer completes the purchase while Bidbus coordinates the auction and related paperwork.
