Marketplaces We Grade

The marketplaces we track

Liquidation Intel currently grades six liquidation marketplaces: B-Stock, Liquidation.com, BidFTA, Erkelens and Olson Auctioneers, Municibid, and GovDeals. More are added as their sample sizes grow large enough to grade honestly — a grade is only published when there are enough closed lots behind it to mean something.
