“Shipping Clarification”

Kevin M.
9/25/24

After likely deleting my notice regarding items I won, I became worried that something had gone wrong. Upon calling and speaking with a very nice agent, I was quickly assured that my auction win had indeed been shipped slightly late. Sure enough it showed up in my mail the next day!

Top Critical Review

“Your website needs some work!”

Ron R.
10/10/24

In current bids it says the name of the auction NOT the Auction House. No location to down load a resale tax form ahead of time. A bidder can't change their credit card it's just one choice. The return policy needs addressed because a number of these auction houses don't verify what they are selling. AKA selling gold filled as gold! Other options of payment would be good Zell, PayPal etc.

I have gotten so many deals on HiBid! I love bidding for exactly what I want, at the price I want to pay!

Reason I chose this business:

I was following an online auction that is under the HiBid umbrella and decided to check out other auctions around the country!

I started off buying things from HiBid with good resuslts.
Seems they have now added some shading people to the fold.
JANABEES TREASURES
Bought 2 listings of records and a book.
I had to keep hounding Janis to get them shipped out. When it was finally shipped, one of the lots of records was not with it. It was missing some Rolling Stone LP's that was worth more than I bid for them.
Again had to hound her to get a refund. A month later it was finally sent.

HOPKINS AUCTION
I will only bid on auctions that will ship or I can pickup on the weekend. This clown first tells me on a Saturday that he is having computer problems and can pickup on Sunday. That 's fine, it's still the weekend.
Sunday I get a message that he can't meet to give me the items i bid on. Says I can pick them up Monday or Tuesday. I tell him this does not work for me and he then charges my credit card for the Items.
Then he tells me he is going on vacation for 2 weeks and I can pick them up then. Dirtbag still hasn't honored my request for refund.

ATX AUCTIONS SAT, LLC
These guys I had bought quote a bid from over the year. I am constantly having to call them out on their auction. They advertise items but when you go to pick them up, they are not what was advertised.

It is hit or miss with HiBid.
They need to police the companies under their umbrella better

HiBid is OK if you are a seasoned auction professional. They are simply a platform from which almost any auctioneer can operate with relative impunity. They even have auctioneers who do not ship. Who would have thought that a local pick up auction on the internet would be a good idea? Apparently, you get dinged for trying to sign up and bid in one of these auctions. There is also a "secret indictment list" that can get you banned from bidding for reasons that you will never know and for which you have no recourse. All that being said, we have received far more winners than losers from our winning bids. EVERYTHING depends on the individual integrity and business practices of the individual auctioneer. The best run their auctions in a straightforward manner and ship most of their items in house for a reasonable price. The worst, well they do the opposite.

And, before I forget, there is the matter of the "end" of the auction on HiBid. Some auctions end right there on HiBid and, if you are the high bidder at the end, you have won the item. But many auction houses use HiBid as a pre-bidding platform only, where, under the previously discussed circumstances, you only "may" have won the auction, as a so-called live auction follows the end of the HiBid auction. There is no link on HiBid to the following auction and, if you wish to follow the "final" auction, you have to track it down through the auctioneer's website in order to see which platform that they use te "really sell" the item. It can be a pain, but like most similar situations, if you can take the pain while playing their game well, it'll be OK.

Also, the $1 charge is not for bidding. It just verifies your CC and is only a temporary hold that will soon drop off.

After talking to the HighBid people, it is a fact that there is nothing they can do to address any issues with your account. They cannot even view the account to see what the problems are and have absolutely no control over the auctioneers or their actions. Bidders are completely on their own in the case of ANY problems.
