CT Bids

FALSE ADVERTISING …
50 Chevy Fleetline advertised as;
1.) FALSE: Rebuilt engine 6-months ago, less than 20 hours on new engine.
FACT: Engine has worn out distributor, cam & valve train issues … but has NOT been rebuilt
2.) FALSE: New paint within 3-months.
FACT: My friend painted his car almost 3 yrs ago.
3.) FALSE: New throttle, pressure plate, clutch, throw out bearing.
FACT: throttle & clutch have only been adjusted.

Also NOT new, Fenton exhaust, it was on the car when he bought it, I was there when he bought the car. Johnny did replace the brakes & new wheel cylinders.
The owner was a friend & neighbor for over 36 years before his passing and would be appalled to know CTBIDS is lying to inflate its value!
They also have coworkers bid on items to run up the price.

I won two auctions recently and they never sent the invoices so I could pay for the items. I emailed the email on the "contact us" page and got an email back from a Brad Kuane. He said the invoices went out the night before at about 8:30. I told him I didn't get any invoices, there are no invoices listed in the invoice section on my profile, yet profile shows I won two items, I checked my spam folder, re-checked my email on my profile and it was good. Brad never got back to me nor would he re-send an invoice or a link so I could pay for my "wins". I think they didn't get what they were hoping for and decided to not send any invoices so they could sell the items elsewhere for more money. Terrible experience and will stick with Ebay from here on out.

CTBids is like many other on-line auction houses - some sellers are honest and some are either clueless or crooked.

Descriptions are frequently weak and the photos nefarious. Many of their sellers know nothing about anything, which is why they buy a franchise instead of starting their own businesses.

If you see something you like, you can ask questions. If it is about authenticity or something similar, do it to share with others. If you notice something that may be to your advantage, keep the question private.

If the franchisee's rep doesn't respond to honest questions, run away 'cause they probably have something to hide.

Do NOT get carried away! Think about what you're doing and what they might be hiding.

And try to deal locally if you can. It makes things a lot easier.

These so called "caring" individuals are nothing more than half brained money grabbers. They can't even fully put the right products together to complete a set or complete device (see the morons in Pittsburgh, PA) and then jack the prices way higher than they should ever go or the items are worth. Most items are flea market dollar items at best. Never let them sell collectibles like trains or trading cards.

Worst site I have ever used. They retracted all my bids on a recent auction claiming I wasn't a verified user even though they have my credit card on file and a customer service representative even called me a couple weeks ago. Avoid at all costs.

Unless you HAVE to use this site. Do not do it. Have them collect your items and find another way to sell. My dads estate items sold for a tiny amount compared to what the resale worth would have been on eBay. Example, they sold ALL my dads Lenox lighthouses for almost nothing, ALL 6 of them. Watercolor paintings that sold for over $150-$600 on other sites, sold for $50 and under on CT BIds. My fathers Dept 56 $#*!en's Collection sold for between $3 and $47 at the most when many of the houses sold for over $100 and more on eBay. I would not recommend this site for selling your families items unless you have NO choice. See photos for only a few examples of what my dads items sold for. I have many more

They have their auctions with that good old boy mentality. I placed a bid for 250 on an item. Received email that my bid was accepted. Received an email within 60 seconds stating I was just outbid, by the same amount I had just submitted, 250. When I bid the high bid was at 205. I bid first but because I guess someone associated with CT Bids wanted the item, or a friend of the owner, i lost with the same bid as the winner. Now CT Bids will not accept a bid of the same price, it needs to be more than an existing bid. I got screwed because there was no bid at 250 except mine. Don't use them, they have some program or something to keep jacking up the price. Or they Jack you so they can keep it.

Was the winner of my auction on a beautiful Honda CRV used a major credit card to pay for it the one on file at 10:00 at night they claim I have not paid I called c.c. Company they said they ran it canceled it ran it again and then they canceled it credit card company claims they approved both transactions talk to the franchisee he told me I can pay for it in cash or he could physically run card in the day of pickup changes his mind. The company is not the problem it's the little weasels that run the franchises which is what is wrong with America people don't do what they say anymore

BEWARE! If you win an auction for an item that has to be shipped you WILL pay $$$$$! Between the fees (which I totally understand) you have to pay for the seller to take to UPS. Not sure why UPS can't pick up as it does everywhere else but ok. Won 2 auctions and paid around $200 for them ( which I felt was a descent deal) but just got an "estimate" from UPS. Shipping will be $238! WHAT?! Shipping cost more than items. It is wasn't for my kids birthday I would've said to shove it as money is so tight right now. SO disappointed and will NEVER do this again.

I won the bid on 8 items through CT (Caring Transitions) bids, paid immediately, and scheduled an appointment to pick up my items the next morning. When I arrived on time for my appointment, I was informed by the man running the estate sale that "The owner must have come during the night and taken things" because 4 of my 8 items weren't there. Others who came around the same time as I did were having similar experiences with the items they won and paid for not being there. The man running the sale did refund me for the missing items, but the amount I bid was well below the dollar value of the items I had bid on, and I was very disappointed. I will avoid using CT Bids again.

I won several bids with Jennifer Black in the Seattle area,. Or so I thought. A Joe DiMaggio baseball with a COA. I sent it to JSA for authentication but they said there were to many irregularities to authenticate. So there went 600 dollars. Then I won a painting that I was charged 41 dollars to ship to me. When I got it the back had been taken off and the frame was falling apart. They almost always take the frames apart to make sure there is nothing of value hiding behind the painting. Unfortunately they don't fix it before shipping. I strongly recommend only using these auctions if you can personally go to pick up the merchandise. Also it is very common for these sites to have people raise the bids with no intention of actually buying. These sites as a whole are less than honest and my advise is stay local or stay away. I tried to get a response for my bad items but got nowhere. BUYERS BEWARE

In Southern California. I bought a bowl for $17 in September. Was told it would cost $50 to ship because it was so heavy but it was beautiful and I got a deal. I paid, since it was on me to consider this. It never arrived. Several weeks went by and I called. They apologized and said they were busy but would send it right away. Weeks later, I got an email that it had been "found" and was on it's way. You guessed it-weeks went by and no bowl. October 10th I got an email that it was "found" and was on it's way. As a sorry they refunded my $50. End of October I emailed again and was told it was on it's way. End of November I sent an angry email asking what happened to my bowl. Got an email with a copy of a receipt saying they sent $30 to my Paypal for "broken bowl". Sent an email asking what happened-no explanation, no response. So I'm not out any money, but it was a lot of trouble for nothing. Will never use them again.

Not happy with my purchases or the service provided at pick up. Auction lot had one photo of several items. No description, no condition of items in the lot. Several of the dishes are chipped or cracked. Why not mention that in your listing, or take photos of the chips? One dish in particular pictured had the chips turned to the back in the photo. If things are damaged you need to let people know. Pick up was hectic to say the least. There should have only been four people at pick up, but everyone came at once instead of their scheduled time. Then she slapped the ticket on the table with a pen, didn't tell me where to sign or what I was signing. I asked how I was supposed to get out and she barked one second. And slapped a peice of tape with a number on it. I said ok, so I put this in the key pad? Yes. I said ok, well that car is blocking the drive, so how do I get out. OH well I guess you wait. OK, what about you ask the car to move over and park where you asked people to park in the email...you know you asked people not to block the drive...but hey I'll just sit here and wait to miss thang to move.

Writing this as I stuck in the driveway because no one is directing traffic. I've even had the woman running the show see I'm blocked in, respond to me and say it's going to be a bit. I wouldn't have been so upset if I hadn't bought and paid for items, drove over and item and found out 2/3 of the items I bought weren't for sale. I was told I could go through the stuff that didn't sell but my response was I would have bought the items if I wanted them. I would have bid on other items to make sure my hour drive was worth it. Super let down and super annoyed to be stuck in the driveway for over 20 minutes now.
