The Hidden Lot: Bid. Salvage. Restore.

Storage auctions on PC

The Hidden Lot: Bid. Salvage. Restore. is a single-player storage auction and restoration sim for PC. You inspect a locker from its doorway using a flashlight, a UV lamp, a knock hammer and a crumpled weight manifest, then bid against rivals who are working from the same clues. UV light reveals drag marks and collector stamps; the hammer’s sounds can indicate whether something is metal, wood or hollow.

Auction choices include raising a bid, making a power-jump or sniping in the final seconds. A late bid adds time to the clock, so the auction can continue past its original end. Rivals such as Salvage Dan, Victoria and Big Mouth Roy have personalities, and some bluff about what they think is inside.
