Turn excess inventory into maximum recovery.

BidChips isn't a broker or a liquidation channel. We create demand for your parts, authenticate them through a certified third-party lab, and let qualified buyers compete in a transparent auction — so the open market sets a fair price, not a single private offer behind closed doors.

The BidChips Recovery Method™

Four steps set the stage. One auction brings it home.

Not guesswork, not a fire sale — a repeatable methodology that aligns price to real market demand, proves authenticity, and clears every lot in an open, competitive auction where buyers and sellers meet at a fair number.

01

Market Value Range

We establish the part's true intrinsic value range from live market data — the floor and the achievable top.

02

Demand Creation

We generate qualified buyer interest before the auction — real competition that lifts the recovery higher up the value bar.

03

Price Alignment

We set the Reserve and Buy-It-Now (BIN™) together — calibrated to maximize recovery of your assets within their attainable range.

04

Certified Authentication

Every lot is authenticated by White Horse Laboratories — a certified third-party lab — so buyers bid with full confidence.

STEP 05 The main event

The BidChips
Auction.

This is where it all comes together. The market range we set, the demand we engineered, the price you aligned, and the certified third-party verification that earns buyer trust — all of it converges right here.

Your lot goes live on the global stage. Qualified buyers from 180+ countries compete in real time, the open market sets a fair price, and your recovery comes home — fully documented, start to finish.

Recovery Intelligence

What your excess parts are really worth.

It starts with one question: what is market price? It isn't the highest ask or the listed price — it has a precise, long-settled definition.

fair market value noun · valuation

“The price at which property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.”

— IRS Revenue Ruling 59-60, the standard valuation definition

By that definition, even the lowest distribution price for stock that remains unsold does not set the market. BidChips finds the real number: the one a ready, willing, and able buyer actually pays.

Same part, better packaging, higher ceiling. Buyers pay most for factory-original — find your tier, then send us the best you've got.

Sealed STMicroelectronics factory cartons with intact bulk-ID and date-code labels
1 Top recovery
Sealed factory box, seal intact
Original carton, factory bulk-ID & date-code labels, QA seal unbroken.
Micron moisture-barrier bag with intact factory labels, seal date and MSL rating
2 Strong
Factory MBB / reel, labels intact
Original moisture-barrier bag or reel — seal date, MSL & MPN labels present.
3
Fair Original packaging, opened
Genuine packaging, seal broken or repacked — still traceable, but off the top.
4
Lowest Loose parts, generic bag + invoice
No factory packaging or labels — a receipt isn't provenance.

We set the Reserve at 5% and the BIN at 60% of LDP — then let the open market find your ceiling. Our entire job is built to push it higher.
