BID4ASSETS^® was inspired by a real world auction experience. In February
1999 the company's founders were bidding on a $5 million building at a traditional auction on the COURTHOUSE STEPS^® in Baltimore. For two hours, nearly a hundred investors stood shivering in the cold and snow with cashier's checks in hand. Our founders imagined a better way to auction high-value assets: the Internet. Bid4Assets was incorporated that week, and in November 1999 bid4assets.com was launched.

Bid4Assets is the online auction marketplace for high-value assets like real estate, jewelry and rare collectibles.

Government agencies and an extensive community of private sellers rely on Bid4Assets to connect with buyers interested in unique personal property and real estate. Auctions have included everything from one-of-a-kind historic cars, luxurious estates and spectacular jewelry to the Presidential Yacht Sequoia and exotic cars.

Government auctions have been a specialty at Bid4Assets since our early days when we began helping the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) sell forfeited assets ranging from cars, boats and planes to real estate, artwork, jewelry and much more. Today numerous federal, state and county government agencies partner with Bid4Assets to sell a wide variety of forfeited, surplus, tax-defaulted and foreclosed property online. In addition to the U.S. Marshals Service, federal and state agencies that hold auctions on Bid4Assets include the U.S. Department of Treasury, the U.S. Department of Energy, the State of New Jersey and more than 40 counties nationwide.

Our approach and reputation make us the online auction marketplace for high-value assets. Because of our experience working with the U.S. Marshals Service, state and county governments, and private sellers, we are the unparalleled leader in online auctions for high-value items.

In February 2008, Bid4Assets launched bid4homes.com, an enhanced, real estate-only online auction site.
