Birmingham's Bin Store for Treasure Hunters & Bargain Shoppers

Birmingham's Bin Store for Treasure Hunters & Bargain Shoppers

Forget shopping the way you're used to. At Bid Llama, you dig. You sort. You find. Our bins are packed with overstock, returns, and liquidated merchandise from major retailers, and you never know what's going to turn up next: a brand-new kitchen gadget sitting next to a barely-used pair of sneakers, sitting next to who-knows-what. That's the whole point.

If you love a good deal and you love the hunt even more, this is your spot in Birmingham.

How the Bid Llama BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA Bin Store Works

How the Bid Llama BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA Bin Store Works

Every bin in our store starts full of merchandise sourced from overstock, customer returns, and liquidated inventory from well-known retailers. Instead of sorting it onto neat shelves with price tags, we dump it in bins and let you do the digging. That's what keeps prices so low and what makes every visit different from the last.

We restock regularly, so the bins you dig through this week won't be the bins you find next week. Some shoppers come in on restock day for the best selection. Others wait a few days, when prices have dropped and the crowd has thinned out. Both strategies work — it just depends on whether you're hunting for selection or hunting for the absolute lowest price.

We restock every Saturday morning, and our bin pricing schedule is as follows:

GENERAL BINS
Saturday: $10
Sunday: $8
Tuesday: $5
Wednesday: $3
Thursday: $1
Friday: Fill-a-Bag for $5

APPAREL & SHOES
Saturday: $10
Sunday: $8
Tuesday: $5
Wednesday: $3
Thursday: $3
Friday: $3

What You'll Find in the Bins

What You'll Find in the Bins

No two visits are the same, but here's the kind of thing regulars come back for:

  • Electronics and small appliances

  • Clothing and shoes

  • Toys and kids' items

  • Home goods and kitchenware

  • Seasonal items and miscellaneous finds

Some days it's a quiet bin. Some days it's a jackpot. That unpredictability is the appeal — bring a little patience and you'll usually walk out with something good.

Tips for First-Time Bin Store Shoppers

Tips for First-Time Bin Store Shoppers

New to bin store shopping? Here's how to make the most of your visit:

  • Bring your own bag or box. It makes carrying your finds around the store a lot easier.

  • Wear clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty. Digging is half the fun.

  • Come early for selection, come later in the week for lower prices. Pick your strategy based on what matters more to you.

  • Check items before you buy. Merchandise is sold as-is, so it's worth a quick look for damage or missing parts.
