This is my first actual experience with Equipmentfacts. So far, it is impressive. Wiring the payment is in progress. I have yet to pick up the implement, so I still have some procedure facets to experience. It's been painless this far down the path. Gina is a gem and keeps things moving orderly.

I went pretty good. A text notification about being 10 lots away would work better than the email. Most people have text notifications on their phone, not email.

Polk Auction in New Paris, IN. I won my item. Fairly simple and easy bidding. I used the phone app.
I only have one suggestion, while awaiting and scrolling down the list of items, the page would 'auto scroll' back to the item up for bid. This was a nuisance that frustrated me when I was perusing the upcoming items. Thanks

I did not win several bids because your site lags behind... it too SLOW.
I called EqFACTS two times during the bid and spoke to someone TWICE. They assured it would be rectified. That NEVER happened...

Live auction with online bidding. Using my iPhone at home, the connection was generally good with online bidding blending well with onsite bidders. Live feed dropped a few times when unimportant items (to me) were being auctioned. Overall very pleased.

Would have been nice to have the payment processing done through your site rather than paying at the auction site with cash but overall it went well. Thank you!

Thank yo for the feedback. Unfortunately, we don't touch the money on transactions since we aren't the seller. Some sellers do have online payment options but it does vary.

My first Auction
April 12, 2025

My first Auction. Had plenty of help from my contact Zack. I was a little confused on the shipping. I guess a lot of contractors are in line to get you your equipment. Lot of calls but all went well so far. Courtney and Allissa very helpful in the office. Helped me out tremendously. Thanks Don

Thanks for the feedback! The seller controls who the bid is going to, be it floor or online. Bidder's are flagged for reverification since we have automated registration, but are usually reinstated with in a few minutes depending on volume.

I was really impressed by how efficient the auction was, and how seamlessly the online bidding was integrated with the floor bidders who were on site. As an online bidder, it was great to be able to hear the auctioneer in real time, and the auction moved fast.

I was listening to the live auction obviously while it was going on and bought two items. They both were rather fishy, the first one said that i was outbid and lost the item. I even took a screen shot of it saying so but then i got an email a few minutes later saying i won the bid. On the second item i purchased the auctioneer sold the same item before the one i bought for $300 and he asked if someone would pay the same amount for the second one. The bid button said 300 and then when i got the invoice it was $400. Im done with this live onsite auction stuff, every auction that i have participated in it is very obvious that they favor who is on site and they manipulate the auction to facilitate those individuals. They use the internet to push the bid and then ultimately favor the onsite bidders. Almost always the person running the equipment facts bid doesnt move fast enough to put in a bid resulting in a loss of the item for the internet bidder. I am not impressed and likely will not waste my time on it any further.

Thanks for the feedback! By nature the online bidding is always going to have a slight delay.

I am registered with equipmentfacts
April 5, 2025

I am registered with equipmentfacts. It's easy to log in and watch auctions. The bidding can be disabled if you're just watching or activated if you choose to bid. So far it's been a very streamlined experience.

Live auctions are awkward for me.
I managed through the process.
I used two devices to stay on top of the process.
I did use the Pre-Bid to establish a connection.

I didn't realize there was a buyer's premium added to the bid I placed. This made the item cost more than the going price for it. I feel that if the seller is already paying a commission the buyer shouldn't be paying also. All though the bidding process was easy to follow through.

We appreciate the feedback! Unfortunately, buyer premiums are very common and are levied by the seller not EF but still vary from sale to sale.

The site kept losing internet access and I was unable to complete some bids. Happened about 4 times. My account was locked by EF during the auction because of "how many times I was bidding" isn't that the idea of an auction?

It went well. I was pleasantly surprised once I understood the forum. I was able to pre-bid on items once I signed up and even was the winner of a few during the live auction. Thank you, I look forward to more auctions.

Thanks for the feedback. Seller's do prepare to handle potential streaming issues to try to avoid but sometimes there can still be issues. We appreciate your understanding.

The auction company did an extremely poor job of representing a piece of equipment I purchased online. I've used online auctions many times with great success. They took a few pictures of the best looking parts of the trailer but didn't show any of the bad and I do mean BAD spots! I would not have bid on it had they represented it properly, but I guess that's how they can make more money, by hiding the damage. Also I went to the address they had listed on the website and was taken 30 miles away to a different location. I will not be giving them a good review.

Equipmentfacts attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

You locked me out of my account for almost the first half of the auction. You had me on hold for more than an hour. Had to call auctioneer to get any help. Other than that it wasn't a bad experience.

I don't know if there is a short time delay between the auction and the website but I had 2 items I bid on and it came up "I am done " and a few seconds later it would say sold. I had placed the bid before it was over but did not accept it. It was disappointing to me.

As a beginner for never doing an online auction, I was very confused on whose bed was doing what till I seen that I stroll down farther on my phone and could see the beds. Also, I thought I was top bit when I didn't so I lost some equipment that I thought I bid the highest on and realized I wasn't the one that was accepted on the bid so I'm assuming just because the first time user it was a little confusing for me, but also I could not pick up and pay for the equipment. I purchased that day. I had to wait till the next week during the week and takeoff a day of work to get it, which is very inconvenient for me.
But I realize that is probably the way online auctions work
