A Bidpath alternative for online auction sites.
Bidpath makes auction software for commercial, industrial and fine art auctioneers, priced through a demo and its sales team. Sites that run online auctions, rather than an auction house, often need less: bidding rules that work, sellers, and a price they can see. Here are the options. [1]
