Notes
- BidFTA auctions are location-based (pickup at a warehouse). Use the
state/city/warehousefields 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.
