Sellers set a clear-by date. Prices drop automatically until items move. Buy now, place a standing bid, or watch — and let the deadline do the work.
Sometimes called a Dutch auction, declining-price, or reverse auction — ClearByDate just makes it simple.
Take the item off the market instantly. The price you see is what you pay.
Set your max. When the falling price reaches your number, the item is yours — automatically.
Track items you like. We'll notify you on every drop and when bids change.
Sellers record condition video in-app with timestamp, GPS and device hash — not just camera-roll uploads.
Both parties confirm the handoff with a one-time QR. Optional GPS proximity for high-value items.
Bids store a payment method only. We charge after pickup is confirmed — never before.
Most places to sell your stuff turn you into a part-time storefront: relisting, replying, haggling. We took the opposite approach.
No lowball offers, no back-and-forth, no waiting on a reply. You set a starting price and a deadline — the price comes down on its own until the item sells.
Listings here don't drift for months and quietly go stale. A clear-by date gives every item a hard deadline to move, so browsing means real, time-bound deals — not digital clutter.
The first standing bid to meet the falling price wins, automatically. No side deals, no being ignored because someone offered a few dollars more off-platform.
Relocating, downsizing, or clearing a space? You're not trying to run a shop. Set the date and let momentum — not constant messaging — empty the room.
Essentially, yes. ClearByDate runs on a declining-price model — also known as a Dutch auction, descending-price auction, or reverse auction. The seller sets a starting price and a clear-by date, and the price falls automatically over time until a buyer takes it or a standing bid wins.
A traditional auction starts low and competing bids push the price up, often with last-second sniping. ClearByDate works the other way around: the price starts high and steadily drops, so there's no bidding war — the first buyer to accept the current price wins.
Instead of watching the clock, you set the maximum you're willing to pay. The moment the falling price reaches your number, the item is yours automatically — no need to be online when it happens.
Time-bound liquidation of all kinds: moving and downsizing sales, estate sales, office and business closures — anytime you need things gone by a specific date instead of listed indefinitely.
