We apologize for the delayed response, Jonathan, and understand your frustration. The batch bidding process is set up by the auctioneer, and when a bid is placed on one item in a batch, the time for all items in the batch may be extended. This is a decision made by the seller to manage their auction format. If you have concerns about this, we recommend reaching out directly to the auctioneer for clarification. If you need any assistance, please feel free to contact our support team at 844-775-4774. Thank you for your feedback!

Each time I need information, the auctioneers have been very prompt in response to questions. When I'm able to schedule a pickup time, pickups are easy and cuts down on the number of people picking up purchases. I've had only 1 issue with a delivered product but was due to the one delivering, not the auction co. My overall experiences have been good.

Standard action.
June 30, 2024

The 15% bonus is quite high. Considering the 13% addition, that add the price 30%. As much as some item are sold above the price of a new item în store. Other than that is just fun to follow the bidding process.

When I try to click on the bid amount on my iPhone I have to lick below the bid amount. This is very frustrating because trying to keep up with multiple bids you want to be as quick as you can, not fumbling around which cost me to lose a bid. Other than that, great experience.

Price was not accurate
June 29, 2024

Price was not accurate, all of the sudden bid jump from 68 to 70

Date of experience: June 19, 2024
Audriana B. HiBid Rep

We apologize for the delayed response, Mahmoud, and understand your frustration. The price jump from $68 to $70 is likely due to a standard bid increment change, which happens when other bidders place maximum bids or regular bids. The system automatically increases the bid to the next allowable increment. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the auctioneer directly or contact our support team at 844-775-4774. We appreciate your feedback and hope this explanation helps!

Great Auction Service
June 29, 2024

Overall, my experience with HiBid has been great. Most auctioneers are responsive to email and text messages and do their best to describe their items in details and in the form of multiple pictures.

There is a lot of good stuff offered, but check shipping details if you don't live close enough to pick up. If you can only spend a certain amount of money you might need to chose carefully and remember there are shipping costs.

Reserve not met
June 27, 2024

I placed a bid but the reserve was not met,couldn't find a reserve price all it says is you may have won. Contacted hibid to ask what the next step would be still waiting for a response.

We apologize for the delayed response, John, and understand your frustration. Reserves are set by the sellers, and they are responsible for communicating reserve prices and next steps. If the reserve price is not met, the auction typically ends without the item being sold. We recommend reaching out directly to the seller for clarification on the auction results and any next steps. If you need assistance contacting the seller or have any other questions, please contact our support team at 844-775-4774. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope this helps!

Antiques Etc. is located in Santa Clara, Utah. Our customers appreciate primitives. Unfortunately, southwestern Utah is not the place to find that type of merchandise. Hibid has provided us with the opportunity to purchase the primitives our customers are looking to buy. Nothing quite like a good Midwestern auction...

If you need further assistance, feel free to contact our support team at 844-775-4774. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope your future experiences go more smoothly!

When emailing a seller, if I hit the "enter" button to go down to a new line it would send the uncompleted communication. I ended up sending 2-3 partial emails before I figured out what was going on. Clicking the Send button should be the only way to submit the communication.
