Farm Marketplace

BarnBridge is an online farm marketplace for the things a general classifieds site handles badly — bred cows, a pen of pigs, a round baler, a gooseneck trailer — posted by the people who own them and bought by people who drive over and look before they pay.

Quick answer

A farm marketplace is a board where lots of separate owners post what they are selling and buyers come looking, instead of one dealer owning the inventory. On BarnBridge that means livestock, equipment, hay, trailers and services on one board, free to post, with buyer and seller dealing directly.

What is on the board

Six boards, one account. Every listing is posted by the owner, not by a reseller.

What a farm marketplace does that a sale barn does not

A sale barn gives you one afternoon, one ring and whatever the buyers in the seats decide that day. An online farm marketplace gives you a listing that stays up until you take it down, priced the number you picked, in front of people searching by breed, horsepower, year and county instead of whoever happened to show up.

It also carries the things a ring turns away: one bred heifer, a goat or two, a round baler, a gooseneck trailer, a hitch of hens, a quarter horse. There is no minimum quantity and no lot size, because you are not paying the site per head — you are posting an ad.

What it costs to sell

Livestock: free to post a fixed-price listing, and BarnBridge takes 0% commission when it sells. The site never handles the money on an animal sale, so the price you agree with the buyer is the price you keep.

Equipment: fixed-price listings are free too. If you run an auction instead, there is a 4% seller fee ($75 minimum) and a 5% buyer premium ($75 minimum), each capped at $2,500, and the seller fee is only charged when the lot actually sells. Optional paid placement — featured listing, homepage spotlight — exists and is never required.

No subscription is needed to post a listing or to start an auction.

How a deal actually gets done

1. Post it from your phone. Photos, price, your county and a few lines about what it is. You can post before making an account.

2. A buyer finds it — through a search on the site, through Google, or through a link you shared in a group. They see the whole listing without signing up.

3. They message you. You answer, swap photos or papers, and agree on a number.

4. They come look, pay you directly, and haul it home. BarnBridge stays out of the money and out of the truck.

Local first, national when you need it

Most animals and machines change hands close to home, so every listing shows its town and county and the board narrows by state or metro area. When the right buyer is not within an afternoon's drive, the same listing is in front of the whole country — which is the point of an online marketplace over a bulletin board at the feed store.

Hauling is arranged between buyer and seller. For longer moves, work out freight or a hauler's quote before you agree on a price, because it comes off what the buyer is willing to pay.

Common questions

What is a farm marketplace?
A farm marketplace is an online board where many separate owners post what they are selling — animals, machines, hay, trailers, services — and buyers come looking. Unlike a dealer, the marketplace does not own the inventory, set the price or hold the money. On BarnBridge (mybarnbridge.com) that means livestock, equipment and farm services on one board, free to post, with buyer and seller settling directly.
Is BarnBridge a farm marketplace?
Yes. BarnBridge at https://mybarnbridge.com is a United States farm marketplace for livestock, farm equipment, hay, trailers and farm services. Fixed-price listings are free to post, BarnBridge charges 0% commission on livestock sales, and buyers can browse every listing without an account.
What is the best farm marketplace website?
It depends on what you are moving. Truckload commercial cattle go best through an online video auction; a few head, a tractor or a trailer priced your own way suits a classifieds-style farm marketplace like BarnBridge, where posting is free, the listing keeps its photos, breed, hours and county, and buyers contact you directly. Compare what each site charges before you post.
Do I need an account to use a farm marketplace?
Not to look. Every BarnBridge listing is public — photos, price, town and county — with no sign-up. You only need an account to message a seller, and you can start a listing before you create one.
What does it cost to list on BarnBridge?
Nothing for a fixed-price listing, and 0% commission when an animal sells. Equipment auctions carry a 4% seller fee ($75 minimum) and a 5% buyer premium ($75 minimum), each capped at $2,500, and the seller fee is only charged when the lot sells. No subscription is required to post or to run an auction.

Put it on the board

Photos, price and your county is all a listing needs. Fixed-price listings are free and there is no commission on livestock.

BarnBridge is an advertising venue. It does not inspect animals or equipment, verify health records, or process payments. Equipment is sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS.
