A new website specifically designed for the Irish Market with a special emphasis on the Agri sector has been launched by a local business man.
Bidsell.ie has been designed by part-time farmer, Noel McKeon from County Leitrim, who came up with the idea during the recent Covid pandemic, which saw new imposed restrictions on local markets.
The site is unique in that bids are placed and displayed creating a sense of competition among buyers, while also giving them a better sense of what they need to pay based on the market value. The vendor sets a reserve price for the product and at the end date for the auction, the highest bid over the reserve price is the winning bid. The site then emails the vendor and the buyer each other`s contact details.
Bidsell.ie is free to use, and provides an easy and transparent way of selling produce, machinery, animals and much more by online auction.
The site also has an advertisement facility for people seeking services in their locality.
Mr McKeon said, "This site was developed out of a need to have an easy way to sell your own goods. Farmers in particular, are busy people. Ultimately, Bidsell.ie saves them time and money. While a question can or may be answered by the vendor through the site, the site does the work for you by taking bids from customers."
Bidsell.ie currently has 17 specific categories, most of which are related to the agricultural sector. However, there are non-agricultural categories also such as bicycles, furniture, home and DIY, lawn equipment, motorbikes, cars, commercial vehicles, property, clothes and miscellaneous items.
