Your board puts the biggest bid in a dark card at the top, with the buyer’s name, when they can pick up the car and how many bids you have. Once you have two or more bids, a blue band under it shows the fastest pickup, and tapping it opens that bid.
The tags
Some bids carry a tag, and one bid can carry more than one.
- Top is the biggest bid. If two buyers bid the same amount, the one who got there first is on top.
- Fastest is the bid with the soonest pickup time. If two buyers can come at the same time, the bigger bid wins.
- Best of both goes to one bid at most, once you have more than three: the biggest bid that is among the three biggest and also among the three soonest pickups. When no bid is in both, no bid gets it.
- Raised means the buyer replaced the bid their prices made with a bigger one.
Top and Fastest show once you have two or more bids.
Sorting the list
Every bid is in the list under the top card, and you can sort it by Most cash or by Soonest. Which comes first depends on your answer to “How fast do you want it gone?”: ASAP lists the soonest pickups first, and By tomorrow lists the most cash first. You can change your answer on your board while your listing is open. That changes the order, not when bidding closes, and buyers see the new answer too.
What a bid shows
Tap a bid in the list, or See details on the top card, to open it. You see the buyer’s name and town, a few words they wrote about their business, photos of their tow truck and yard when they have added them, and how many cars they have bought through BeaterBoss once they have bought some. Below that are their bid, the earliest time they can pick up the car and the date the bid is good until. There is never a way to reach a buyer outside BeaterBoss, and buyers never see your phone number or email.
From the bid you can take it, message the buyer or pass on it.
When a bid’s pickup time changes
The earliest pickup on a bid is the soonest time that buyer can come. If that time passes before you take the bid, the bid moves on to the next time they can come. Once you take a bid, its time stays put.
