About us

Jacksonville's local auction marketplace.

ZooLots is a local online auction marketplace, based right here in Jacksonville. Bid online on the kind of things you'd see at retail — home goods, electronics, tools, toys, mystery boxes — starting at just $1. When you win, you come pick it up at our warehouse — 5107 University Blvd West, Jacksonville, FL 32216.

We started ZooLots because we believe local shoppers deserve real deals, with real people behind them. No shipping charges, no overseas dropship surprises, no hidden fees. Just a fair auction, an honest description, and a quick pickup down the street.

Every item on ZooLots is opened, inspected, and graded by our team before it goes live — so what you see is what you get.

Why shop with us

  • Local, family-run, based in Jacksonville
  • Every item inspected and graded by hand
  • 15% buyer's premium + $2/item handling fee — no other hidden fees
  • Free local pickup — no shipping costs
  • 7-day window to report an item that isn't as described
  • Real people answering questions: call or email anytime

How an auction works

Every item starts at $1 and runs on its own timer. Enter the most you're willing to pay and we'll bid for you up to that max — same as you'd expect on any major auction site. If someone bids in the last minute, the timer extends by 60 seconds so nobody gets cut off.

Not ready to bid? Tap the heart on any lot to watch it. You'll see your watched, winning, and losing lots in one place so you never lose track. When you win, we email you right away (and text you, if you opt in).

Pickup is easy: after checkout you pick a window that works for you, then stop by the warehouse and enter your phone number at the kiosk to grab your wins. Most pickups are same-day or next-day.

What you’re actually bidding on

Our inventory comes from major retailers like Amazon and Lowe's — returns, overstock, and items pulled from shelves. Some come back because the box was opened, some because a customer changed their mind, some because a new model replaced them. Most are still in great shape.

We don't list anything until our team has opened it, photographed it, and graded it by hand. Our default grade is “Appears New” — looks new even if the packaging may be opened. If something is more worn than that, we say so clearly with one of these labels: Used, Damaged/Missing Pieces, Mixed Condition, or Tested Working. No surprises when you open the box.

The price you see is the price you pay

Bids start at $1. When you win, your invoice shows your winning bid, a 15% buyer's premium, a flat $2 per item handling fee, and Florida sales tax. That's it — no shipping (pickup is local), no fee for scheduling pickup, no reserve hiding behind the scenes.

Pay securely by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. And if an item isn't what we described, reach out within 7 days of pickupand we'll make it right.
