Questions

How does the free trial work?

Each company gets one 7-day trial, with no card and no payment details. It starts when the first account from your company is approved, and colleagues approved during those days share it. You get a demo helicopter in My Fleet and one in My Bids, with every page, analysis and PDF. The Auction House is not part of the trial.

What happens when the trial ends?

You choose Monthly or Yearly the next time you sign in. Every price, part, turnaround time and setting you entered is kept, and the demo helicopters are removed. Nothing is charged until you choose a plan.

Which records does it read?

The PDFs attached to the auction listing. Each helicopter is checked against the 12 required Army records forms, and you can add any form that was not attached. A helicopter that is not listed online can be added from its records PDFs; anything that cannot be read, you type in.

Where do the values come from?

From your price list: a market value for every UH-60L part, condition rates (overhauled 70%, serviceable 50%, repaired 30%, all adjustable) and your margin. Values are estimates, not advice.

Does my team see the same numbers?

Verified colleagues from your company share one fleet, bid board, price list and settings, and each has their own sign-in. A membership is per person, or a Corporate Membership covers your company's people; the tiers are under Pricing.

How is it billed?

Pay with a card or a U.S. bank account; the membership renews until you cancel. Every payment gets an emailed receipt. All fees are non-refundable; see the Terms of Service.

Who can have an account?

U.S. persons only. Every account confirms its email and is approved by a person before it can sign in, and each sign-in asks for your password and a 6-digit code sent by email.

Are the records controlled?

Records may be export controlled (ITAR/EAR) and marked CUI; share them only with authorized U.S. persons. Your data is visible only to you and your company, and a helicopter you remove is archived with everything you entered and can be restored.

What is the Auction House?

It is coming soon. Companies post UH-60s for sale and bid on them with a countdown to the second, and a person checks every listing against its records before it goes live. Bidding is included in every membership; payment terms for selling will be announced when it opens.

Can I install it on my PC?

Yes, from your browser. In Chrome or Edge, select the install icon at the right end of the address bar; in Safari on a Mac, File, then Add to Dock; on an iPhone or iPad, Share, then Add to Home Screen; on Android, the browser menu, then Install app. It is the same site and account, always the current version, and it needs an internet connection.

Is there help inside the app?

The first time you open each section, a short walk-through shows it on an example helicopter, and you can play it again any time from My account.

Know the number, then bid

Your company's 7-day trial starts when its first account is approved. After that, $3,500 a month or $36,750 a year.

How BidMaster60 works, on example helicopters
Read the transcript

Every surplus UH-60 comes with thousands of pages of maintenance records. BidMaster60 reads them for you, and turns them into one answer: what the helicopter is worth to your company, and what to do with it. Start in My Fleet. Add a helicopter straight from its auction link, or upload its historical records yourself: the logbook forms, the fault reports, and the life-limited parts report.

BidMaster60 reads every form, and builds the helicopter's pages in minutes. Open a helicopter, and you see two plans side by side: part it out, or return it to service. Each plan shows the work, the cost, the days in your shop, and the money left after what you paid. So you can choose the stronger path, and track every part as it is pulled and sold.

Because it reads the historical records, it knows what has to happen next. Every open fault. Every inspection that is overdue, or coming due. And for each life-limited part, the hours remaining, so you know what a part is really worth before you price it. My Bids uses the same numbers before you spend a dollar.

Add a helicopter that is up for auction, and BidMaster60 answers the question that matters: is it worth it? You get a maximum bid that protects your margin, and a financial analysis that compares parting it out with repairing and selling it, based on that helicopter's own records, and your company's own prices.

One click saves it as a profit analysis report, ready for your team. All of it runs on your numbers. In My account, your price list holds the market value and condition of every part. Turnaround holds your labor rate, your shop capacity, and the man-hours for each kind of work. And My parts lets you add the parts you plan to pull that are not on the standard list.

Save them once, to your own account, or shared across your whole company, and every helicopter and every bid updates. Wondering if it will work for you and your company? Every new company gets a free 7-day trial. It starts when your account is approved, and no card is needed. The trial comes with a demo helicopter in My Fleet, and one in My Bids, so you can see every page and analysis work.

Colleagues who join that week share the same trial. Set your own prices, parts and turnaround times, and watch the numbers change. When you start a membership, you add your own helicopters, and everything you set is kept. BidMaster60. Know your max bid before you bid, and the best plan after you win.
