Easy bidding. Auction was on Monday and still waiting on paid invoice. Also waiting on setting up a time to pick up items

I have no complaints. It was an easy process.I was wondering what happens to items that did not sell at auction.
We're thrilled to hear that HiBid worked well for you and that you found the process easy with no complaints. Regarding unsold items, the approach can vary depending on the auctioneer or seller. Typically, they may choose to re-list the items in a future auction, negotiate private sales, or explore other avenues to sell the remaining inventory. Some auctioneers may also donate or dispose of unsold items according to their own policies. If you have specific questions about a particular auction or item, we recommend reaching out to the auctioneer directly for more information. Thank you for your positive feedback, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
Great experience and friendly auctions.
Thank you for the followup
It's fantastic to hear that your experience on HiBid was great. Your support and participation are greatly appreciated. Thank you for being a part of the HiBid community!
The only complaint I have with the HiBid process is actually trying to view the pictures within the listing. It is difficult to open and/or scroll through the pictures and it seems like half the time, the buttons for doing so, do not work or you have to select them several times before they will. This has been the case on every auction I have bid on and makes it very time consuming and frustrating.
Hi Amy, thank you for your feedback! We apologize for any difficulty you experienced in viewing the pictures and the responsiveness of the buttons. Providing a smooth and user-friendly browsing experience is important to us, and we apologize for any frustration caused. We'll take note of your feedback and work on improving the image viewing and button responsiveness to enhance your overall experience. If you have any further suggestions or if there's anything else we can do to improve, please let us know. We value your support and will strive to make your future interactions on HiBid more efficient and enjoyable. Thank you again for your feedback!

Hibid is easy to search for auctions, Items, or items I am watching. Bidding is fast and easy. The total bid amount at the top is nice, but when my wife sees how much I have spent I sometimes I wish I could hide the total. Overall a great site. I have used others and this is, by far, the best.
Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that HiBid is your go-to auction site and that you find it easy to search for auctions and items. We're glad that bidding is fast and easy for you, but we understand the predicament of the total bid amount being visible to your wife. We can't help you hide the total (yet), but we can suggest some clever excuses like "Honey, I'm just investing in our future collectibles empire!" Overall, we're delighted to be the best site you've used, and we appreciate your support. If you have any more feedback or need support, don't hesitate to contact our bidder support at (844) 775-4774. Thanks again for your review, and happy bidding!
I like HI Bid over all. The buyers premium to me is a bit odd, it's all done on a computer, so an 18% adder to me is a bit much. Sometimes the UPS stores that an auction house will use do not seem to be in any hurry to get the items shipped out. I am not in a hurry to get my items, but 10-14 days seems a bit too long to me.
Best place to find awesome Collectibles and you always get a good deal!
Thanks for the awesome review! Happy bidding!
All good from search to bid to final wrap up and pickup

Glad you're enjoying it! Thank you for choosing HiBid
There is a wide variety of items to bid on and it's easy to bid. There is usually an auction within driving distance most weeks. Always interesting. Sometimes early bids hold all week and buy the item. Sometimes bid change rapidly in the last few minutes. Never the same.

I have enjoyed going to live auctions for many years, and had a large collection of antiques. Over the past several years I have started using online auction services. I like using this service as it is multiple auctions in any place you may be in at any given time. Mostly, I love searching for things I can use at a lower price than buying from a store. I am having a great time using this, and have found some amazing deals!

We appreciate your continued support and wish you many more successful bidding experiences. Happy hunting for more treasures!
Apparently somewhere on Hibid, sellers can leave feedback about the buyers. I apparently have some negative notes. When I tried to address/see them there is NOWHERE for me to go, and Hibid couldn't help get the information. Other auctioneers can see them but not me. I admit to occasionally forgetting I have a bid but I always try to pay and usually offer to compensate for the inconvenience. This is wrong, cause the auction houses are denying registering for auction based on this information, that I can't see or address. I will not use a company that is spreading such negative information about me. Makes me fill like I need a lawyer.
We apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced, and we appreciate your feedback. Your HiBid bidder score is subject to fluctuations based on various factors, including non-payment, chargebacks, and other considerations. We recommend reaching out directly to the auctioneers you've interacted with to discuss any concerns and seek resolution.
If you have additional questions or require assistance, feel free to contact our bidder support team at (844) 775-4774. We appreciate your understanding and aim to provide a positive experience for all users on our platform.
Noel auctions are very professional very proficient and a wonderful team to work with I've done many options with them and will continue to do so thank you
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.
