The Reclaimed Market

How it works

Reclaimed Market runs honest, local, no-nonsense auctions where regular people buy and sell with their neighbors — vetted members, rated both ways, local pickup, no shipping. Here’s the whole process:

1

Browse + bid

New auctions go live every week. Every lot is photographed and described, bidding starts at $1, and lots close in sequence — 30 seconds apart, with extensions if a bid lands at the buzzer, so nobody gets sniped.

2

Win + pay

Win a lot and it lands on one invoice — hammer price plus a flat 5% + $1 buyer's premium, shown on every auction page. No hidden fees: what you see at bid time is what you pay, and the seller keeps 100% of the hammer.

3

Pick up

Pickup is local, at the auction facility, during the posted window. You see it, you load it, you're done. No shipping surprises, no damaged-in-transit disputes.

4

Yours to keep

Furnish a room, find a treasure, or flip it — your call. Either way you bought from a neighbor whose rating you could see, and the money stayed in your community.

Our promises

Honest descriptions — if something’s untested or boxed, the listing says so. Every fee disclosed before you bid. Your data stays yours. Questions get answered by a human.
