Announcements/New Affiliates: Let's welcome some new members of our affiliate network (have posted an auction to date in 2021)!   

Tip of the month/ New info: 

Ride into Summer Event: Don't forget!

You are invited to participate in our annual Ride into Summer Event scheduled for May 9th thru May 23rd.  This event is designed to help affiliates recruit Summer Toys to sell, such as ATV’s, Campers, UTV’s, Golf Carts, Boats, Motorcycles and other motorized ‘Toys’.  

We will be promoting this event through the last Summer Toy auction that closes on May 23rd. 

Get the word out!  Talk to your consignors! Recruit new consignors! We need sellers who are serious about selling these items. Let everyone know if they’ve been thinking about selling, there’s never going to be a better time to do it.   

This does not prevent you from scheduling or closing other auctions during this week! However, auctions that fit the assets described above will be receiving extra promotion courtesy of K-BID.  

We will be driving potential consignors to this landing page that explains the process for selling with affiliates.  We will forward leads to affiliates based on their location.

New Video: 

We'd like to introduce our new animated video for K-BID!  This will be used in promotions for recruiting new buyers and sellers to K-BID.com.  Feel free to link this video on your own websites and social media pages from YouTube.  We are excited how it turned out! 

Have an idea for a future tip of the month that may be helpful for other affiliates?  Let us know by emailing [e-mail].
