Bidding happens on a platform such as HiBid or CTBids, usually run by a local auction house, with lots that close on a schedule. Most of North Carolina’s estate and business-liquidation sales end up here, which is also why there’s so much to scroll through.
A core source, but it takes skill. Go niche.
