Staff Alerts

Internal SMS program · Last updated: September 2, 2026

This page describes BiddyUp's internal staff alert text program — the text messages we send to our own crew about running the auction. It is a separate program from our customer auction alerts. If you are a bidder or customer looking for auction alerts, you want biddyup.com/register and our SMS Terms & Conditions instead.

Who this is for: employees and crew members of BiddyUp INC. only. No customers, no purchased lists, no marketing. Joining is voluntary and is not a condition of employment or of any purchase.

Program description

BiddyUp INC. sends recurring automated operational text messages to staff members who opt in. Messages report auction results and close-day totals, inventory and container arrivals, lot and labor counts, and automated system status or failure alarms. Message frequency varies with the auction calendar — typically a few messages per week, with more on auction close days. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

How staff opt in

There are two ways a staff member gives consent. Both are voluntary, and either one alone is enough.

1. Text START to (918) 716-5718

From the mobile phone you want alerts on, text the keyword START to (918) 716-5718. You will get one confirmation message back:

BiddyUp internal alerts: you have been added to the BiddyUp staff alert group. You will get auction results and system alerts. Msg&data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to stop.

After that confirmation you are subscribed, and operational alerts begin.

2. Sign the written consent line at onboarding

New crew members are shown this page and offered the alert group when they are hired. A staff member may instead give written consent by signing the following line on the BiddyUp onboarding form. The signed form is kept in the employee's file by the owner:

Sample messages

BiddyUp: Aug 25 auction closed. 214 lots sold, $18,412 total, 47 unique winners.
BiddyUp: heads up, the close-day text send failed at 6:02 PM. Nothing went out to bidders.
BiddyUp: container CH-4471 arrived at the Chouteau yard this morning, 38 pallets to check in.

Opting out

Text STOP to (918) 716-5718 at any time. You will get one confirmation that you have been unsubscribed, and no further messages will be sent. To rejoin, text START to the same number.
