Turn your unused assets into funds for local charities with ZERO consignment fees.
If you have a car, truck, tractor, motorcycle, trailer, RV, farm or construction equipment that you no longer need, Fast Bid Auctions makes it easy to turn it into meaningful support for the local charity of your choice.
We handle everything, from pickup and photography to listing, marketing, and completing the sale. You simply choose the charity you’d like to support, and we’ll send them 100% of the proceeds after the auction.
How It Works​​
-
Tell us what you’d like to donate. Cars, trucks, farm equipment, motorcycles, RVs, ATVs, trailers, vans, containers, tractors, and construction equipment are all welcome. Running or not, we can usually take it.
-
We handle the entire auction process. Our team manages the photography, cataloging, marketing, buyer support, DMV processing (for vehicles), and pickup when needed. There is no cost to you.
-
Your item is sold in one of our weekly online auctions. With thousands of eager bidders across the country, Fast Bid Auctions ensures your donated item gets strong exposure and competitive bidding.
-
We provide you with a full sale receipt. Once your item sells, we issue documentation showing the successful bid price and the donation amount.
-
The proceeds go directly to the charity you choose. You pick the local nonprofit, and we send them the full donation amount. You can support a church, youth program, animal rescue, community center, food bank, or any 501(c)(3) organization in your area.
