The Municibid Mobile App is the fastest way to stay on top of the auctions that matter to you. Whether you’re a contractor sourcing equipment, a small business owner looking for a deal, or a hobbyist hunting for something specific, the app puts the full marketplace, your bids, your watchlist, and your alerts one tap away.
Secure Face ID and Touch ID sign-in get you in instantly. Real-time push notifications keep you in the action even when you’re away from your desk. And because it’s the same Municibid account you already use on the web, your bids, watchlist, and history move with you across every device.
Search every active government surplus auction in the country. Filter by location with a ZIP code, your current location, or a distance from 25 to 250 miles, or go nationwide. Sort by ending soonest, newly listed, or price.
Save listings you're interested in with a single tap. See everything you're watching grouped by what ends soonest, with current bids and time remaining at a glance. Clear out ended auctions with one button.
Tap Place Bid on any listing to see the current high bid, the minimum next bid, and the increment. Use the +$100, +$500, or +$1,000 quick-bid buttons, or enter your own amount. Set a Max Bid and let Municibid bid on your behalf.
The My Bids tab shows everything you're actively bidding on, everything you've won, and everything you've lost, all in one place.
Skip the password every time. Secure biometric sign-in gets you back into your account in seconds.
Push notifications for the things that matter most. Set quiet hours to hold the rest; outbid alerts and “you won” notifications still come through, so you never miss the moments that count.
Choose what reaches you, and the app takes it from there:
Vehicles, equipment, tools, technology, furniture: all of it within reach the moment you want to bid, wherever you are.
When buyers can bid from anywhere, auctions attract more activity, especially in the final hours when competition drives the highest prices.
Surplus auctions don’t wait. The best deals close while you’re on a job site or on the road. A single tap takes you from a push notification straight to the listing, quick-bid buttons let you raise your bid without typing, and Max Bid lets you set your ceiling once and walk away.
Get notified the moment someone outbids you, with one tap back to the listing.
Raise your bid in a tap. Set a max and let the app bid for you up to your limit.
A full view of every auction you care about: active, won, and ended.
