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!
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.
Easy to use and gives confidence to use again. I like the fact that I can trust this system to place bids fairly.
Past experience proved I can trust the system every time.
I put in my bid, won, made appointment to pick up and I was done.
Lucky to find Hibid, knew nothing about it.
No issues, everything went as planned. There were no issues with my experience. Hope to visit again, soon.
Went great but got timed out or something and had to jump back in to bid. Made it just in time.
It was easy would use this site again for purchase
Hibid offers a very professional online auction. The "soft close " feature allows for bidding in the last minute to "reset" the auction countdown clock to one minute. This allows other bidders to bid again for a desired lot.
The preview look at lots scheduled for auction is helpful. Previous auctions with them and their email notifications of auction events creates added value to what they offer.
Bid and won 3 separate lots of vinyl albums. The first lot was described as Rolling Stones albums, with pictures of 3 separate albums (Let it Bleed, Aftermath, & Big Hits). When I opened the albums, "Aftermath" had a random greatest hits disc in the jacket. Not what I bid on. Live and learn.
Heard about the auction and decided to sign up

Buddy, we've reached out privately to assist you with this. Thank you for reaching out.
Looking for a auction site this is it. Many different types of auctions, something for everyone. Site is easy to use
The auction that I wanted to bid on used HIBid so had to use it. Worked great
I really like looking at all the different things I find things I need or that my family need.
My niece is one that got me started on this site.
Kind of funny how I bid on 13 items and they all sold for my max bid, I thought it was suppose to be proxy bidding. All items jumped to my max price shortly before the auction ended. I don't know if I will ever trust this auction company again. Very SAD. I didn't even want to leave a 1 star rating, but had to or I couldn't submit my review.

Tracy, we've reached out privately to assist you with this. Thank you for reaching out.
I have been buying a lot of items from auction. Specifically Treasury Auctions in Salt Lake City,UT. Not anymore! Most of the items I have been getting as of late has been broken damaged or used. I make sure to read all descriptions to make sure it's not listed as used or damaged. Somehow I still get damaged and used items. When I bring it up to them they give me hard time about getting a refund. They are extremely rude and make me feel like I'm trying to rip them off. It's completely the other way
A round. The last time my card didn't go through so I payed with cash upon arrival. I only got one item description said new/open box. It was damaged and used. When I asked a young lady about getting a refund she said she would issue a credit towards my next auction. I just wanted my cash back that I just handed to them. She at first said I'll do it this time. Then she said she couldn't then she said I can give you 15% back. Then she changed it 50%. Why do the amounts keep changing? I didn't want a credit I just wanted my money back. The last time I got a credit. It didn't show up on my next auction. When I came to pick up I told them about the credit and showed them the paperwork. They said the guy that issued you the credit no longer works here so we can't honor that. How is that my problem! They are crooks think twice about buying from this auction house. Please check your items before you leave. They are out to take advantage of you!
Been waiting over 2 months for an item I "won" and was charged. Messaged the vendor through the information that is available on here and just recently received a response with no expectation on when I will receive my item. Refund apparently isn't an option. Haven't received or heard anything from them ever since.
Tip for consumers:
Better structure and regulations for these vendors that charge you and don’t fulfill their part of the deal.
Products used:
None. Never received my purchased item.
Love it, you can look for almost anything you think of and it's easy to find, bid, & win that item you've wanted for years.
If I had to pick something I wasn't happy about it would be I haven't found how to delete searches I've made. Everything I've ever looked for is saved even if it's a repeat search I type in again.
Found it by accident tried it once and was hooked.
Definitely fun trying to bid on items. I just wasn't aware of all the extra charges, 25% buyers fee, taxes, insurance shipping, etc..
I had someone tell me about it, how I can sell my items and buy other items.
Simple and easy to use. Easy to find items, Fast search.
Best Auction site around.
Difficult to navigate the auction once items start closing.
That's who the auction house uses.
I've been watching the different auctions on HiBid for awhile and I've managed to score some really good deals on things that I collect. I like the HiBid auctions because they are so laid back and there's no confusion as to what is going on in any of the auctions!
