Budi Auktioner
- Open to private buyers
Budi Auktioner runs online auctions across Sweden with a catalogue organised by what the lot is rather than where it came from: trucks, interiors and furniture, music equipment, restaurant and kitchen, tools, sport and gym, clothing and shoes, vehicles, construction plant, electronics and IT, home and leisure, building materials. Bankruptcies (konkurser) are a filter of their own, which tells you how much of the supply comes from failed businesses.
What you can buy
- Trucks and vehicles: commercial vehicles and cars from company disposals.
- Construction plant (entreprenad): site machinery and equipment.
- Restaurant and kitchen: commercial catering equipment from closures.
- Tools and building materials: trade stock and workshop equipment.
- Interiors and furniture: shop and office fit-out.
- Electronics, IT, sport and clothing: the consumer end of business clearances.
How the bidding works
Create an account to bid. Lots are filterable by category and by region, with a countdown showing how long each has left — the listing view mixes sales from several sellers, so the filters are the practical way to use it. The site offers an English version alongside the Swedish one.
What to check before you bid
Budi’s own terms are more specific than the general Swedish rule: bid levels are shown excluding VAT, and a service fee whose rate is stated in each lot description is added to the winning bid, with VAT applying to that fee as well. A late bid extends the lot by three minutes, so there is no point waiting for the clock. Consumers keep a 14-day distance-selling right of return, which most auction platforms exclude. Collection is from wherever the assets are rather than a central depot, and Sweden is long — check the location before the bid, not after.
Buyer's summary
| Who can bid | Private buyers and businesses; account holders must be 18 or over (§ 2.2). Business users accept separate terms (§ 1.5). |
|---|---|
| Registration | Free account. |
| Buyer's premium | A service fee (serviceavgift) is added to the winning bid. There is no single platform-wide rate — it is stated in each lot description (§ 4.2), so read it before bidding. |
| VAT | Bid levels are generally displayed excluding VAT (§ 8). VAT is added to the total before payment and applies to the service fee as well as the hammer price. |
| Payment | By the date given on the invoice (§ 7.3). A reminder follows within three days of the due date. |
| Collection & shipping | By the date given on the invoice (§ 10.1). Transport is not included in the purchase (§ 10.2); goods sit where the seller keeps them, which can be anywhere in Sweden. |
| Condition & returns | No warranty is given unless the lot description says otherwise (§ 12.1). Consumers do have a 14-day distance-selling right of return (§ 12.3), paying return shipping themselves — unusual for an auction platform and worth knowing. |
| How lots close | Soft close: a bid placed within three minutes of the countdown starting extends that lot by a further three minutes (§ 6.1). |
| Languages | Swedish, with an English version of the site. |
