Good Auction
July 8, 2024

It was a very good auction. The only problem I had was the site locked up once and I ended up on something totally different from what I wanted to bid on and of course, won the bid on something I didn't want.

Confused
July 8, 2024

I bid and bid the auction is over and it just says you may have won this item. It has done this about 4x.
I have no idea what's going on. I always thought when it says the auction is over it's over. It doesn't start all over again. I think I won one auction since it said you won but it disappeared and I never heard anything about it. Like I said I am confused.

We apologize for the delayed response, Barbara, and understand your confusion. The "You may have won" message typically appears while the auction is finalizing the results, which can take a little time after the auction ends. Once the auction is officially over, the final results should be updated in your account, and you should receive a notification. We recommend checking your Past Bids section to see the status of your auctions. If you’re still unsure or haven't received confirmation, feel free to contact our support team at 844-775-4774, and we’ll help facilitate communication with the auctioneer. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope your future experiences are clearer!

I enjoyed the auction but when I had the bid and someone bid over me it wouldn't let me bid again. So I didn't get it.

Mostly fun
July 6, 2024

I couldn't bid on the last lot we wanted! I was bidding on it, was out bid, and when I went to bid again to be high bidder, it wouldn't let me bid! No matter what I did pushing the bid button! And time ran out, and the lot closed! It was cabinets/bookcases, my wife really wanted them! We would of continued to bid! But couldn't! Not sure why?

This one was hard to use
July 4, 2024

There was no way to jump to a certain lot. When I watched from my bid list or my watch list, I couldn't watch the countdown clock. Also when I upped MY maximum during the auction, it would add minutes to the clock. I one person bid it added 5 minutes. If another bid right away it added 5 more. Some clocks went up 30 minutes instead of adding 5.

When purchasing items you would hope that the sellers would give pictures or descriptions of any damage and stat. It appears they tend to try to hide them.

Great auction!

Pictures are clear, descriptions are good, and it's easy to follow along with the bidding. Website responds to bidding quickly so you know your bid is accepted or if you need to increase.

Terrible, And there is no easy way for bidders to complain about auction houses, and your system is really flawed. I have gotten ripped off so many times on this site.

We apologize for the delayed response, Ian, and understand your frustration. It sounds like the auction you participated in experienced some unusual changes with extended bidding and reselling items. Auctioneers are responsible for managing their auctions, and it's disappointing when the process doesn't go as expected. We recommend reaching out directly to the auctioneer to address your concerns about the sale. If you need assistance contacting them or have any other questions, please contact our support team at 844-775-4774, and we can help facilitate communication. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope your future experiences are more positive.

I bid and won but not after some "hand to hand combat" during the bidding process and of course then came the bidder's premium and at times, the delivery charges...overall experience was very good.
