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.
Bidding is quick and easy! I enjoy listening and being part of the live auctions!
HiBid gives you several options on how to watch your specific items which makes bidding easier. They also show very clear cut off times for when each item will close which gives the bidder plenty of time to counter bid if necessary.
I didn't choose HiBid for this auction, the auctioneer did, but I will certainly choose HiBid in the future.
New to this. Except for internet hiccup things went pretty well. Only loss on bid
New and you had items I was looking gor
Good Auction House to trust. Bid, won, and was shipped fast. Everything went smoothly,
Just thought I would give this auction house a try.
Would be helpful if the auctioneers would respond to enquiries/ requests for clarifications or specifics not included in product descriptions. I have never received a reply so stopped asking any Q's and don't bid unless 100% clear
Jeff, thank you for the feedback! We have contacted you directly via private message. We're here to help and improve your experience. Happy bidding!
THERE ARE TOO MANY ACTIONS THAT STATE SHIPPING AND HAVE SHIPPING LOGO, BUT DON'T SHIP TO THE UNITED STATES OR DON'T SHIP ANYMORE.
HAVE NOT HEARD BACK
I enjoyed the whole experience except when I was bidding on more than one item. At the end of bidding it was hard to keep up with live bidding when bidding on one or more items.
Ease of bidding and close area.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Terry! We're glad to hear you found the overall experience enjoyable, and we'll take your feedback about managing multiple bids into account for future improvements. Happy bidding!
They are allowing auctions houses to scam you out of your money even after proof and will not bar them from saling on there site. Berger Coin out of loveland CO has cheated and stolen money from auctions they put on. Avoid them at all cost or you will get ripped off. They don't send you what they auction if they send it at all. Hibid still allows them to put on auctions after complaint after complaint just yo make a dollar. Hibid should be held responsible for allowing them to keep on running auctions. Bad Hibid bad
Only thing I didn't like was at the end of bidding was it said I( may have won),leaving me guessing if if I did or not.
For me it was local...

I love the site and the bidding is effortless but the shipping prices are ridiculous- ex: a package of diapers won bid at $10 with fee $13 shipping $23. When that package of diapers sells for $39 at store so really only ended up saving a couple dollars. Another item retails 135 won bid at 95 with fees paid 116 shipping was $35.05 would have been less expensive just to buy at local store.
Thought I would be saving some money

At the last auction bidding was closing all over the place you had to scroll up then down then back up. They need to be in order it was such a mess
Thank you for your feedback, Josh. We appreciate your input. The movement of auction lot items indicates their proximity to closing. Happy bidding!
When an issue happens this site does respond, take responsibility or reaches out the auction's warehouse to do the right thing or back up the customer. Same thing with better business bureau, you are in your own to support and help yourself when the warehouse isn't truthful or fair so be ready for some frustration and dissatisfaction. Some ware house are awesome specially if they sell new thing but most are just trying to sneak broken things
Hey Carlos, we've reached out privately requesting additional information regarding your review to better assist you. We look forward on hearing from you. Thanks!
Just don't care for the soft close put a hard close on your auctions.
The auction is local to me
Have, of course, not received the item yet since the auction ended only yesterday, but we'll see soon enough.
I was searching for something and instead found HiBid. I love auctions, so I couldn't resist checking it out.
Easy to navigate was very good experience.
Recommend to others
I don't trust this site anymore since I won items and replied to the shipping to have it shipped and never received the items but was charged. I can't get any response from HiBid as to where me items are and no refund. 3 emails sent no reply. Turning them into BBB and attorney General for fraudulent sells.

Hello Rick, we have reach out privately to help you with this matter, we hope to assist you with this!
I was a bit confused when it switched to time bidding but it didn't take to long before I got the hang of it.
I was not aware of HiBid and came upon it and decided to give it a try.
Thank you, James, for sharing your first-time experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great time overall, and we appreciate your patience as you familiarized yourself with our bidding process. We're glad you discovered HiBid and decided to give it a try - Happy Bidding!
Totally worth my time. Got some great stuff. Little intimidating for me at first because I'm not the best with technology, but I caught on.
Because of a particular sale that I was interested in was on HiBid.
Thank you, Nancy, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a solid and enjoyable experience with HiBid, and that you were able to find some great items. We're grateful for your interest in our platform and the specific sale that brought you to us. We look forward to providing you with more great auction opportunities in the future - happy bidding!
I won 2 bids:
Paid $37 for a doll. I was sent a $37 receipt, to later realize that it was for shipping only. I later won another bid $15 for a much larger item. I asked 3 times to be contacted to finalize the purchase. I also left a voice message. Finally, someone called me to tell me that my item was shipped. They charged me $100 for shipping. I will NEVER bid on HiBid again!
Tip for consumers:
I seriously doubt that Hibid would do this - they should have a shipping calculator to allow bidders to make informed decisions.
Products used:
I sold the doll for less than I purchased it. I will be losing money when I sell the second item.

We understand the importance of transparency, and we recommend reviewing the shipping policy of each auctioneer before placing bids to ensure clarity on associated costs. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate it. If you have further concerns or questions, please reach out to our support team for assistance.
The program worked well for me. This was my first usage of this program.
To find object I was seeking.
It is very easy to bid and keep an eye on your lot with this site. Descriptions of lots, pick-up/shipping, etc vary widely between auctioneers though, depending on how thorough they are. I love being able to bid online, as my job schedule has never allowed me to attend in person!
HiBid has numerous local (both city and state) auctioneers using it!
Hi Traci, we're thrilled you find bidding easy and convenient! We understand the variations in auctioneer descriptions and appreciate your feedback. If you ever need assistance, feel free to reach out. Happy bidding!
User friendly and easy to navigate. Bids are easy to access.
Have used it before.
Rude. Manager (red hair lady) unhappy, unhelpful. Product was described as new/other, however it was damaged to point of no repair. Questioned the Manager she opted for contact the owner and he will say the same, "you weren't forced to bid". Made my day.
Read above. Although I didn't use the foul language included with the explanation on this post. The manager has a broad urban vocabulary.
Redirected from another auction site that stands behind possible mistakes in details of product in the notes.
