HiBid

I buy from several of the auctions and for the most part they are good. I however have run into a few extortion artists that will over charge you to get your items shipped. You have to not use the auctions that do that Uc Rogers is one of them. They recommend a neal and bob fox to ship charged me 3 times as much as a i got a for a lesser amount of tools shipped. The auction it self was not bad but the shipper was under there recommendation so it reflects very badly on them.

They bid on their own stuff to raise the price. Then people unaware pay five dollars more than the coin is worth and then the seller charges eight dollars for shipping when the real cost is a dollar. If you are wanting to buy coins go to a real site. You are better off buying from amazon or walmart.

I have used hibid for what i collect as well as for my business. With every use for my personal use i always contact the auction house directly to find out their shipping costs. For the most part they are reasonable. Some have high fees but i figure that into my bidding. All items i have had shipped always arrived in as described condition. I have also enjoyed the fact that when i put items online it exposes them to a much larger audience. With some rare items hibid has gotten me over 5 times what they go for in my area. I love buying vintage rc cars from this site. What i will tell people is do your own research on what you are bidding on this is not Ebay meaning when sold it is as is where is. With no guarantees. Contact the seller if you have questions. I have found most times they respond and are happy to tell you about it. Also check the reviews of the auction house. I know if i tell people in good working order i stand behind it.

Bought 2 cars for $20 each. Seems auctioneers weren't super happy with price because they just won't respond to arrange shipping (they do offer such). Sadly hibid doesn't have customer support so you can't even tag the auctioneer for not keeping to the deal. There are very high buyer premiums (from 10 to 25%) on top of taxes... not good stay away.

I had a great 1st experience. I searched what I was looking for and put them in my watch list. I got notifications as a reminder (thank goodness) and won my auction. Follow up emails for shipping made it easy too. I'll definitely be a repeat bidder

Had a very bad experience buying from Silent Bidders powered by HiBid in Whitby Ontario. Electric clock did not have a light bulb in it for reasonable checking when picked up. Got it home and discovered previous owner had painted the clock face with a brush as shown in photo. Manager of silent bidders is Monique Van Beilen was totally unhelpful, told me to resell it on Maxsold. She said she would look into my complaint and get back to me... never did. She does not answer my messages. She chooses profit over conscience and doing the right thing. She discredits HiBid with her business dealing. I will never buy again with silent bidders powered by HiBid.

Learned a lot of lessons. Just because it says 'shipping available' means nothing. The Canadian Auctions are the worst, ignore them. They like to sell your winnings by emailing you the invoice, then say you paid late. They keep your money, resell your win, and report you for being a late payment. The other one that does this are the Kentucky ones. There are some good ones, though. The Hibid site only takes Auction complaints, not the bidder. I left this site after too many losses and very rude Auctioneers.

Recently bought a item for $80 which just happened to be one bid increment below my max bid...(?) I had previously asked auctioneer if it could be shipped and was told no problem. Then was billed $120+ for shipping from a UPS store, including $70 for packing supplies! The seller could have advised that the size and weight of the item made shipping impractical which wasn't apparent from the pictures. Auctioneer reversed the shipping charge and we agreed on a lower number.

In the future I plan to use a temporary Visa card from Walmart that can be loaded with approximately the amount of money I expect to spend. It will register as any other charge card and eliminate any chance of surprise charges or an overdraft.

I love this site! Very convenient for my personal use and my business as well! I can set up my profile with my business then list my items in minutes but the best part is selling them within 90 seconds! Love the adrenaline rush when items start flying off of my market. Everything is US and security approved which takes a load off my shoulders. Basically my own Advertisement plus sales in a bundle. I liked it so much that I started bidding for personal use. Instead of waiting hours like other bid auctions it's done in minutes! I can auction anywhere with the slide of my finger! Thanks hotbid.com!

Its a great auction site. All auctions have swoop in buyers, its your job to watch your items. Know what you're bidding on's value. Be careful not to over pay, aalmost always a high buyers premium. So far I've bought many lots and very satisfied with my items. Watch on shipping, some auctions do not ship so you have to drive quite a long drive sometimes. But like i said returns for me have been profitable.

Bidding could not be easier on HiBid, but, a couple of things to remember,
1. Auctioneers often do not provide clear photos or note things like smell, cracks, chips, and things like that. Prices often reflect this fact so be aware of it when you are bidding.
2. Make sure you read what the auctioneer requires for payment and pick up, they often do not respond to emails.
3. ITS FUN! We will be bidding a lot and hope to build a relationship with our local auctioneers.

Loved how auctions went off in sections n not at once

This auction site helped me find local auctions, local land auctions and Internet auctions outside my area! Easy to use, mark your items and get notifications. Haven't had any timing issues or bidding issues. Getting registered to bid on individual auctions is easy and quick, even on day of auction.

Terrific venue to find treasures. Great platform and sellers. A+++. Hibid provides an easily understood and navigable site. Rules and expectations are clearly stated. Bidding is a breeze with the 'soft close' method. Sellers have, to my experience, been helpful and communicative. This site is growing! Many unique and interesting lots are up for auction every day.

Had high bid on an item right to the end of the auction, auction ended, looked like I won, then an update and my top bid was beaten by $10. Emailed the auctioneer no response. Have spent a lot with hibid, they will not get another dime of my money.

I realize that your auctioneers are paying you. Though we as the customer are what keep the auctioneers in business.
I have called HiBid 3 times to complain about 1 auctioneer that continued to send me bullying, harassing, and threatening texts. Then he went in the auctioneer notes and wrote crap that was not true.
And I stated, I never did business with this man.
To top it off, the customer service girl told me that this auctioneer has multiple complaints for fake sport cards. I once again need to go create a new profile, because of this psycho.
Each and every time I call, I get told "It will be forwarded to a manager and they will take care of it."
They never do.
This man (the auctioneer) should not be in business. And if you know that he is committing fraud, why are you letting him still participate on your platform?

It is annoying to search for items and several of the purchases I made were broken. Descriptions of items did not mention damages to the items. Exercise equipment was broken as were two lights I purchased. I will not be using this auction house again.

I recently purchased 3 Hummel thru Vann Land Auctions. I paid18%+7%tax. Then I paid$43 shipping. When they arrived they were poorly packaged. All were broken. I contacted them sent pics& waited 5 days. I then removed the fees from my credit card. Then they got in touch with me& I sent more pics& info. Now the are disputing the charges. I will not buy from Leslie Vann. He may be good with livestock, machinery, gravel& dirt but he's lousy with fine ql

Kyle the owner is completely unprofessional. Do not do business with this man. And this website is bull$#*!. So I have been signed up for a month. I ordered a few sports cards along with other items. I was at my day job, in meetings.
An auction ended last night for two baseball cards. I proceed to get a ton of nasty text messages from Kyle. I thought maybe it was an auto text. An auction was less than 12 hours old. The auctioneer went and blacklisted me and Kyle sent me all the screen shots. Then he tells me to learn how to pay my bills. Dude, you sell cards for a living and Im sure drive a 20 year old Honda and live with your mother. I do not need a bombardment of nasty texts because you didn't see my purchase history. Telling me that I have no money and how unprofessional I am?
I will be emailed HiBid with the load of screenshots that he sent me that were just nasty.
Business school, Kyle. Business School.

There is a wide variety of items to bid on and it's easy to bid. There is usually an auction within driving distance most weeks. Always interesting. Sometimes early bids hold all week and buy the item. Sometimes bid change rapidly in the last few minutes. Never the same.

I love being able to work with HiBid thru our local auctioneer Wiens Auction in Wellington, KS on items around here.

And at the same time I love the idea of having one sign in and one payment method for auctions in other locations...It works super for us. Great planning on how this work. It is ultra convenient and safe.

Thanks

Frequently when I register for an auction. Even though I state that my purchases will be tax exempt and I list my resale certificate number in my notes to the auctioneer. Along with a note that I will send a copy of my resale certificate. Then I reply to my registration email with a copy of my resale certificate. My invoice will be charged sales tax more than half of the time. Then I have to go through the process of getting taxes refunded or worse some auction companies insist on giving me a credit towards future purchases. Then they make the same error again. This problem is becoming more frequent.

Was told that you were a clearing house for auction companies and it was not your problem.

I normally buy vintage and retro items from downsizing and estate sales. I haven't had great luck buying from "shelf pulls and misguided freight" auctions due to items not working or missing pieces so I stick with the ones I know. I love the 403 Auction team the best. I have been using HiBid more than my "normal" sites lately.
