Scrape live BidFTA liquidation, returns, and overstock online auctions across every BidFTA warehouse. BidFTA runs low-starting-bid ($1) auctions on Amazon returns and store overstock at dozens of locations across the Midwest and South. This Actor extracts the full item catalog with live bid data.

What it does

  • Search by keyword (e.g. laptop, power tools, apple) or browse everything across all warehouses.
  • Pulls per-item data from BidFTA's public JSON API — fast, reliable, no HTML parsing.
  • Optionally enriches each item with live bid data (current bid, next bid, bid count).

Example use cases

  • Resale / arbitrage — find items where msrp is far above currentBid.
  • Deal hunting — track a keyword across all warehouses near you (filter output by state/city).
  • Market research — analyze returns/liquidation inventory by category and brand.

Notes

  • BidFTA auctions are location-based (pickup at a warehouse). Use the state/city/warehouse fields to filter to a location near you.
  • Bids move fast and auctions close frequently — re-run to keep data fresh.
  • This Actor uses BidFTA's own public API endpoints; it does not place bids or require a login.
