Using the online auctions is convenient and exciting. I love finding rare items and unique estate sale collections. The HiBid family of auctions allows me to search for things I am interested in with the added ability to decide if I need shipping or can pick up the items myself.

Using the live bid process was easy 7ae & follow along with. Really couldn't suggest any enhancements on Hibid side of operations. Would prefer sellers side be required to put in a minimum criteria description of products sold. A model # and picture solely does not garner confidence on bidding. Less said equals less value in my opinion.
Roger! We appreciate your feedback and are glad you had a positive experience with our live bid process. Your suggestion about requiring more detailed descriptions from sellers is noted, and we'll strive to keep improving our platform. If you have more ideas or questions, please let us know. Happy bidding!
Search for specific coins is simple, bidding is quick and notifications on outbid is just as quick.

I have been bidding on Hibid for few years now I still like the concept and the excitement of bidding and winning the items but my days may be coming to an end. The reason is simple, "The Cost of Doing Business". As an online bidder in Eastern Ontario I require shipping most of the time. Driving for pickup is occasionally possible and even a nice outing. Unfortunately the increases in buyer premiums and the very high cost of delivery is just too expensive, so much so that I sometimes pay more for buyer's premiums and tax plus high cost delivery than I pay for purchases. I sometimes get charged $40 to $60 for small light weight items. Many auction houses now charge packing fees before shipping that can be flat rates of $20 or more. That's my rant and prices will only go up.
Cheers,
Ron ( soon to stop bidding)
Best site to use for multiple auctions from all over. Be sure to read the details on pick up and shipping before you bid. It's a very seemless process and they keep you informed on everything by email and text if you choose. Stop thinking about it and start your bidding right now.

Your encouragement to others is greatly appreciated! Happy bidding, and if you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out.

We're delighted to hear that you had a wonderful experience, Karen! Bid wars can certainly add excitement to the auction process. Thank you for your kind words, and we look forward to seeing you at our future auctions!
Love the online auctions as I don't have all day to wait for an item to come up, Furnished most of my home with quality furnishings at a fraction of the price. Keep up the great work!
Good closing. Easy pick ups. Easy to find auctions in my area

Happy bidding, and we look forward to serving you again in the future!
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!
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Kathy! You've shared some valuable advice for fellow buyers, emphasizing the importance of reading item descriptions thoroughly and being mindful of pickup windows. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to having you bid with us again. Happy bidding!
Exciting platform. Love it so far. ………….,,………………………..
Thank you, Edward! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the excitement of our platform. Happy bidding, and we look forward to having you at our future auctions!
Answer: Licensed auctioneer here- auction law is that if you give notice that you need to retract your bid before the hammer falls (or the auction ends online) that the auctioneer is required to retract the bid. Actual law also dictates that bidding must start over at opening bid, not the next highest bid.
Answer: Very easy. If you dont get someone immediately they do call back. But once again if you have a problem with items contact the auction house not hibid. Hibid doesn't auction they only provide the platform
Answer: Most auctioneer there are scammers, a thrift store would be better option.
Answer: YES! Confirmed by an auctioneer I know. Hibid auctioneers can see your "maximum bid" and in most states it's legal to "shill" an auction or to bid against the public bidders - to "ensure reasonable sale prices" per national auctioneers associations. Also, anyone can set up an identity and bid against you. Although that may get interesting when they have to pay a commission to "buy" their own item!
Answer: "Mechanically challenged" is often a term auctioneers use to indicate that an item might not be functioning properly. It usually means that the piece needs repairs, doesn't operate as intended, or may have some technical issues. It's best to reach out to the seller for a clearer explanation to avoid any surprises. By confirming the exact condition directly with them, you'll have a better understanding of what you're bidding on.
Answer: Yes, if you suspect any fraud, please contact HiBid directly at 844-775-4774. Our team is here to assist you and ensure a safe and secure experience.
Answer: Some auctioneers require credit card verification as part of the bidder registration process. This process involves a temporary authorization charge of $1.00 to ensure the card is valid. In some cases, additional processing fees or taxes might cause the amount to appear slightly higher, such as $1.46. Please rest assured that this is not an actual charge but rather a temporary hold that will be released by your card issuer. Typically, these holds clear within 5-7 business days, depending on your financial institution. If the charge doesn't disappear after this time, we recommend contacting your credit card provider for further assistance.
Answer: Thank you for reaching out regarding your bidder rating and the reasons behind it. Bidder ratings on HiBid are determined by various factors, such as your bidding activity and whether you've been permanently approved or declined by auction companies in the past. Unfortunately, HiBid support and bidders themselves cannot view or access these ratings or the specific reasons behind them, as this information is exclusively available to auctioneers. The best way to gain insight is to contact an auctioneer you have a good relationship with or one whose auctions you'd like to participate in. They may be able to provide some clarity or work with you to address any concerns.
Answer: Thank you for reaching out! We understand how it can be confusing when an item is removed before an auction ends, but please rest assured it's not a scam. Sometimes auctioneers encounter unforeseen issues and may need to cancel or relist items. Keep in mind that auctioneers often work with consignors to ensure items are sold fairly, which can involve reserve prices or other considerations that may or may not be visible on specific listings. We recommend reaching out to the auctioneer directly for more details. If you have any difficulty reaching them, we're here to help facilitate communication.
Answer: Yes, HiBid regularly features a wide selection of motorcycles available for auction.
