BidScouter is a free Chrome extension for MAC.BID auction buyers. Get true cost transparency and powerful filters — directly inside the MAC.BID interface.
MAC.BID has browsing tools — but the real gaps are in cost clarity, deal-specific filtering, and brand-level control. BidScouter fills them.
The buyer's premium, service fees, and taxes aren't shown on listings — you don't know your real cost until checkout.
You can't filter by your actual all-in cost or by what percentage of retail a lot is selling for.
You can't narrow listings to specific brands — so you're scrolling through everything to find what you actually want.
Core features are free forever. Upgrade to Pro for advanced filtering.
See your real all-in cost on every listing — automatically. No mental math, no surprises at checkout.
One-click filters that instantly narrow down the auction feed to what matters most.
Filter the Last Chance feed by keyword and retail value range so you can zero in on the deals worth grabbing.
Filter the entire auction feed by your actual all-in cost — not the raw bid price. Set a min and max and only see deals that fit your budget.
Only see lots selling below a target percentage of retail value. Set your threshold — 50%, 60%, 70%+ — and instantly filter out anything that doesn't hit your margin requirements.
Narrow the feed to auctions closing within a specific window — 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 12 hours. Focus your attention where the action is.
Automatically extracts brand names from listing titles. Filter to the brands you actually resell and stop scrolling through everything else.
