Plenty of time to evaluate each item and place a bid with the option to raise my bid or drop out.
I purchased 13 items relating to my old high school and artifact's of the city I left behind 34 years ago.
It was a great experience.

Most experiences have been positive but some sellers do not have online payment systems which i think would be mandatory for an online auction. Some of the sellers shipping is confusing and not seamless with the experience
Anthony, we would like to help you with this. We have reached out via private message to better assist with this issue.
Bidding and keeping track of your bids works great, searching for auctions works great, would be nice if through the app you could get a running total of the lots won so you can see how much total you spent instead of having to wait for an invoice from the auction company. Also the apps back button is a little wonky, sometimes it sends you back to the app launch page when you push the back button.
Thanks for the feedback, Justin! We're thrilled you find bidding and tracking bids easy. Your input is valuable, and happy bidding!
Awesome as always only thing that could get better is more pictures of items. But that could be more on the hands of the auction company putting on sale.
Thank you, Allan! We appreciate your positive feedback. Your input helps us enhance the user experience. Happy bidding!
Awesome folks at Barber Auctions in Sulpher Springs AR!
Bidding through the HiBid website and then dealing with the nice people at the local auction house made this a really great auction experience.
Thank you, Shootinok! We're thrilled to hear you had a great auction experience with Barber Auctions in Sulphur Springs, AR. Your positive feedback means a lot to us. Happy bidding!
When an issue happens this site does respond, take responsibility or reaches out the auction's warehouse to do the right thing or back up the customer. Same thing with better business bureau, you are in your own to support and help yourself when the warehouse isn't truthful or fair so be ready for some frustration and dissatisfaction. Some ware house are awesome specially if they sell new thing but most are just trying to sneak broken things

I like the bidding format on HiBid. The only thing that gets me is in the last moments of the bidding time when it goes to Live Bid - I wish it would not go away from the Watchlist page. Other than that, I think this is one of the best online auction platforms I have found, and I have used several over the last six years or so.
Mark, thanks for the high praise! We appreciate your feedback. If you ever have more insights or questions, feel free to share. Happy bidding and thanks for choosing HiBid!

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.
Thank you for your positive feedback! We're delighted to hear that your bidding experience was fast and smooth. If you have any further comments or suggestions, feel free to share. Happy bidding!
