This place is sending spam texts without permission. There is no way to opt out of them, I was forced to block them. They have alot of nerve taking advantage of having a registered user's phone number! They did the same thing with emails!

Their site is convoluted, very difficult to sort to find items of interest at nearby auctions. Auctions are like the wild west, as they give deceitful descriptions, hide item condition within photos and fail to reply to emails. I've received items that were broken, filthy and had to be tossed in the trash! I'd have never bid on them had the photos shown these issue or description stated them. The auction houses apparently have no required guidelines in regards to honesty or showing what one is bidding on! Many of the shipping handling charges and buyer fees are extremely high, adding upwards of 35% to your bid. Be very careful. I will think twice before bidding on any auctions on hibid. They apparently don't jury their auction houses!

I'd say highly unethical sums up this site as well as many of the auction houses on it. I give it 2 stars versus 1, only because I know there are some good auction houses, but with the site being so oversaturated it's hard to find them!

I "won" a property... only to find out you HAD to have an $80,000 club membership (that is not a typo, and you Had to have this membership... to own a bare 1 acre parcel), auctioneer was aware but didn't make mention of it. When i "informed" them, they hit my credit card for everything they could get and stopped responding.

Ironically, they also left a "negative" remark on my account that apparently only other hi-bid companies can see... so i've been declined from bidding at 99% of other sales ever since. I contacted hi-bid, they said i should have researched the property better... i say the auctioneer knowingly held back information...

I've been doing auctions for a living for almost 18 years... hi-bid has been the worst service i have encountered.

I have used hibid for what i collect as well as for my business. With every use for my personal use i always contact the auction house directly to find out their shipping costs. For the most part they are reasonable. Some have high fees but i figure that into my bidding. All items i have had shipped always arrived in as described condition. I have also enjoyed the fact that when i put items online it exposes them to a much larger audience. With some rare items hibid has gotten me over 5 times what they go for in my area. I love buying vintage rc cars from this site. What i will tell people is do your own research on what you are bidding on this is not Ebay meaning when sold it is as is where is. With no guarantees. Contact the seller if you have questions. I have found most times they respond and are happy to tell you about it. Also check the reviews of the auction house. I know if i tell people in good working order i stand behind it.

I was on Hi Bid Sunday 9/19/19 bidding. I was winning the auction, then it close and allowed onsite bidding. Why bid on HiBid when it will close on only allow onsite bidding. If this is the case, why bid. I called Hi bid and was told that the auction companies have their own rules. Dont understand why HiBid would allow companies with that policy, it's HiBid web site. HiBid just said sorry. I said goodbye to HiBid. I am sorry that I strayed from proxibid.

I buy from several of the auctions and for the most part they are good. I however have run into a few extortion artists that will over charge you to get your items shipped. You have to not use the auctions that do that Uc Rogers is one of them. They recommend a neal and bob fox to ship charged me 3 times as much as a i got a for a lesser amount of tools shipped. The auction it self was not bad but the shipper was under there recommendation so it reflects very badly on them.

I have called 2 times for them to fix their app, it is a horrible app that on android and apple crashes at the start. Now it crashes and it will not allow me to proceed. I have lost thousands of dollars because of the app not working. It is glitchy at best. Two calls to Hibid in Ocala Florida has solved nothing but them trying to make me sound foolish. I have done everything their tech department told me to do, still nothing is resolved or fixed with the app. They tell me to go on the mobile website " it's the same thing " they tell me. It is not, it does not allow real time interaction between auctions like the app did. I have filed a complaint with the state of Texas over this. If I was a small item bidder, I would just say screw it. I invest thousands of dollars to make a return on my investment. When I am losing items because I am not notified of a live auction at that time than its time for them to fix their piece of junk app. I hope they monitor this post and fix it.
