Disappearing catalog auction pages
November 9, 2023

Scrolling down the catalog as bidding was done the page kept going from the catalog to a HiBid page. I would need to go back to get back to the catalog. Became so frustrating, I closed the page and turned off!

Confusing
November 9, 2023

I was confused what happens after the auction. Invoice for the item and seperate invoice for shipping. Some house ship some don't some are a third party. Very confusing.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Jo. We understand that the process can seem a bit confusing at times, as different auctioneers may handle invoices for items and shipping separately. If you ever have questions or need further clarification, we recommend reaching out directly to the auctioneer. They'll be happy to assist and ensure a smooth experience for you. Your input is valuable to us, and we appreciate your patience as you navigate the auctions.

PRICES ARE SHOCKINGLY LOW!
October 9, 2023

Bidding was very simple and user friendly. I was surprised how reasonable the items are!
The only issue I had was bidding in a Fire Pitt Table I saw it come up and it was going going!
So I bid on it and won! The problem was I read the description later on and it was only the Fire Table
"Shell"
WTH!
They say no returns but the other two things I bought were so cheap I just absorbed the cost
I told them I didn't want the Fire Pitt SHELL! When I picked up my items
It's kind of crazy you have such a short time to get your items. But the two young guys who helped me at the warehouse were very nice and pleasant!
The warehouse is easy to find and it wasn't that busy
Overall, the process was a good one
Buyer Beware! Read the full Description before bidding!
And make sure you can meet that short window to pick up the items you purchase
I recommend them! I will bid again!

I enjoy, bidding on high bed auctions and have for a few years. I like the second confirmation button required when bidding. When I hit the first one, if I have any remorse whatsoever, I get out before, confirming. It helps me to bid on auctions with facing little regret. One time, I accidentally hit an extra zero on my max and was able to reach the auction company to clear it up before the final sale day.

Auctions Simplified
October 7, 2023

It was a great experience. I was able to do it on my phone as well as my computer. Does some of the mobile features aren't available on the website they still work good on the computer. I would recommend fixing the mobile access to current bids or establishing a mobile app.

Too easy!
October 7, 2023

I spent too much money too fast! But that's a good thing. I got a lot of great things at a great price!

I also like that there are so many different auction companies so I can just participate in just the one HiBid platform for different auctions.

Rigged

Everything was out bid and I was only bidder. Rigged?

Weslie, thank you for contacting us. For more accurate bidding history we recommend contacting the Auctioneer directly. We would like to point out our max bid feature, which allows bidders to set the maximum they are willing to pay for an item, and have our system actively bid for them in increments up to their set max bid. Hopefully this is helpful for your next experience on our platform. If you have any further questions, or need more support please feel free to contact our support team at 844-775-4774.
