Robotbids is the premier marketplace for buying and selling new and used robots. Released this week with a simple, transparent 12.5% flat fee, sellers keep more of their profits. From industrial arms to AMRs and humanoids, Robotbids connects trusted sellers with buyers in a secure, efficient platform

Robots are transforming industries—on factory floors, in warehouses, labs, and even inside our homes. But until now, there's been no trusted place to buy or sell new and used robots. That's finally changed. Robotbids is the first dedicated marketplace built to sell robots with confidence. It connects verified sellers, smart listings, and real buyers—all in one secure platform. With a flat 12.5% commission, every transaction is simple and transparent. From industrial robot arms to AMRs and cutting-edge humanoids, Robotbids is built to handle it all.

Why a Dedicated Marketplace for Robots Was Long Overdue
The global robots market is expanding at breakneck speed. From 2023 to 2027, it's projected to surpass $275 billion in value. Despite this growth, there has been no central platform for buyers and sellers to connect. Today, many deals still happen through email threads, spreadsheets, or outdated B2B directories. This is not only inefficient—it's also risky. Robotbids solves this by creating a streamlined, transparent, and secure environment tailored for robot transactions.

Serving a Diverse Market of Robots
Robotbids is designed to serve every major segment in the robot industry. This includes industrial automation, robot arms, AMRs, and the fast-emerging humanoid space. Each category has unique needs. That's why Robotbids allows listings to include specs, condition reports, videos, and even CAD or 3D models. This gives buyers the context they need to make informed decisions. Let's take a closer look at how each segment benefits.

Industrial Automation: The Engine of Manufacturing
Industrial automation continues to power global manufacturing. Robots handle welding, painting, assembly, and more in nearly every industry. However, when businesses need to sell or upgrade, they often face an outdated resale market. Robotbids changes this by offering categorized, filterable listings built for speed and clarity. For example, buyers can search by payload, cycle time, controller model, and software version. Sellers can showcase key system information, helping their listings reach serious buyers quickly. Moreover, Robotbids supports inspection options for large or complex systems. This feature ensures buyers can verify condition before finalizing a purchase.

Robot Arms: Reliable, Versatile, and in High Demand
Robot arms are essential tools for modern automation. They perform tasks from palletizing to lab work with unmatched precision. Yet buying and selling them can be a slow and confusing process. Robotbids simplifies this by offering a dedicated category with searchable specs and visual documentation. Each listing can include payload range, axis count, robot controller version, maintenance history, video demonstrations, and CAD files. This removes guesswork for buyers, while giving sellers a better chance of closing deals faster. Robotbids is also ideal for used arms. Businesses looking to upgrade or liquidate equipment can now reach the right audience efficiently.

AMRs: Mobility Meets Intelligence
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are transforming logistics and warehousing. They are smarter, faster, and more flexible than traditional conveyors or AGVs. Still, selling them can be challenging. Buyers often need in-depth details, such as navigation system type (LiDAR, SLAM), integration compatibility, battery cycles and health, and software and firmware versions. Robotbids helps sellers provide all this information up front. As a result, buyers know exactly what they're getting. Furthermore, AMR listings benefit from integrated videos, manuals, and 3D files. This makes it easy to understand the full value of a mobile robot before purchasing.

Humanoids: A New Frontier for Robot Sales
Humanoid robots are moving from labs to real-world industries. Companies like Tesla, Apptronik, and Figure AI are pushing these machines closer to commercial use. Robotbids is already preparing for this shift. It allows detailed listings for humanoid systems, including degrees of articulation, sensory capabilities, language processing tools, battery runtime, and operating environments. These fields ensure that early buyers and sellers in the humanoid space can transact with confidence. Inspection options are also available for high-value or complex units. As the humanoid sector matures, Robotbids is ready to grow with it.

Verified Sellers: Building Trust from Day One
Trust is essential in any marketplace. This is even more important when dealing with complex, expensive robot systems. Robotbids addresses this with a verified seller program. Each vendor must pass identity checks and business verification before listing products. This process helps filter out bad actors. It also gives buyers the confidence to shop knowing they're working with real professionals. Verified sellers receive a badge on their profiles. In turn, this improves trust and increases conversion rates on listings.

Transparent Pricing That Works for Sellers: A Flat 12.5% Fee
Most platforms charge confusing fees. Hidden costs. Percentages that change by category or payment method. Robotbids keeps it simple—you pay a flat 12.5% seller fee when your robot sells. No surprises. No fine print. This pricing is built for clarity and control. Sellers always know their bottom line. It doesn't matter if you're listing a compact arm or a full mobile system—the rate stays the same. Here's what that looks like in action: Sell a $5,000 SCARA robot? We handle the platform, the buyer, and the transaction. You pay $625. Sell a $50,000 mobile system? You keep $43,750—while we let you sit back as we power the sale. This flat rate removes friction. It gives sellers the confidence to price competitively without cutting into their margins. It also helps buyers trust the process—no inflated pricing, just honest sales backed by a clear structure. Whether you're moving one robot or hundreds, you'll always know what to expect.

A Marketplace Designed for Robot Commerce
Robotbids isn't a general marketplace with a robots category. Instead, it's built from scratch for robot buyers and sellers. Key platform features include structured listings with searchable fields, key data on robots including use history, type, and condition, and easy-to-navigate filters by category, payload, function, and more. These tools make Robotbids an efficient platform to sell both new and used robots. The design reflects real-world needs, not just digital convenience. As a result, buyers and sellers save time, reduce friction, and complete more deals.

A Platform for Both New and Used Robots
Many companies focus only on new robots. However, used robots remain a massive opportunity for growth. Robotbids bridges both markets. Sellers of new units—like OEMs and integrators—gain access to a global customer base. Meanwhile, companies with surplus or refurbished robots can easily list and sell inventory. Used robots have real value. Many are in excellent working condition but underused or no longer needed. By creating a home for them, Robotbids helps prevent waste and boosts accessibility across industries.

Use Cases: Who Should Use Robotbids?
Robotbids is perfect for manufacturers upgrading their robot fleet, system integrators with unused stock, robot resellers seeking visibility, startups searching for affordable automation, enterprises liquidating assets, and research labs offloading test units. Each group benefits from secure payments, clear listings, and access to verified buyers and sellers. Moreover, businesses get access to tools they won't find on generic platforms.

Future-Ready Infrastructure
Robots are changing fast—and the tools for selling them must evolve too. Robotbids is future-ready, with features designed for modern workflows and global commerce. As more robots enter our lives, Robotbids ensures we have the right marketplace to support them. That includes options for inspection, logistics coordination, and technical documentation. It's not just a sales platform. It's the infrastructure for the future of automation
