Your new site is terrible can't find anything can't find anything should have kept calender new is not always better
I use to do really well looking for stuff on auctionzip, now more and more auctioneers list on liveauctioneer.com. Auctionzip use to be the place to go but instead of improving their site they made some, actually only, bad changes. What bothers me is the fact that they prevent the auctionzip banner on top from scrolling out of sight and force you to have it block your view to see what you want to look at. Other stupid ideas are the useless i on allowing you to like and store pictures, the fact that auctionzip lets auctioneers post the same auctions with a starting day/time even so the auction only starts days later. I drove on e to an auction in New Hampshire to find out that the auction was going to be three days later. What really bothers me that the take functionality away from users, the scrolling feature, forcing you to look at advertising. The way auctionzip is trying to force you to look at advertising is appalling…. I make it a point not to buy through auctionzip.com anylonger. I go to liveauctioneer.com to bid and buy as auctionzip does not deserve my business any-longer. It will only be a matter of time and they will go bankrupt or disappear and I can't wait…
Key Date Coins operates on Auction Zip, KDC does not ship purchases in a timely manner or not at all, they also do not give refunds even when they state they will. Auction Zip does not hold their venders to any credibility and will not help you get your purchases from their vendors or refunds. Proving they do not care about their own customers. Do not buy from this site.
Tip for consumers:
Crooks in a huge way.

I am absolutely livid and frustrated with AuctionZip(Invaluable) and Vogt Auctions. I placed a bid on AuctionZip (Invaluable) which is one of the online platforms Vogt uses for their auctions. I was approved and placed a bid on an item over a week and a half prior to the auction. During the auction, my bid was passed over and unable to bid live via AuctionZip. I had the high/winning bid by $150 compared to the person who ended up winning the auction using LiveAuctioneers as their platform. I confirmed this with the live feed of the auction on YouTube, as well as talking directly to the owners of Vogt. If a platform is deemed to not work, why are they using this platform? I have been looking for this very specific item that came up for auction for more than 4 years and was willing to pay good money for it. I rightfully should have won but neither Vogt or AuctionZip (Invaluable) can or will do anything for me. I am left out to dry for something I should have rightfully won. I sold items that I can no longer get back to ensure I had the money for this specific lot. I passed over other lots in the auction to ensure I was able to keep bidding on the specific lot. I am furious with Vogt and AuctionZip (Invaluable) for this injustice. I have screenshots and video proving that I was the high bidder and should have won. But the owner of Vogt said there's nothing he can do for me. It's safe to say they have lost my business. I understand that this is not all Vogt's fault, as AuctionZip was the main point of failure, but the fact that they use this platform will continue to use it is absolutely wrong. I have witnessed many auction houses stop live bidding to ensure their online platforms are synched and working correctly, however this was clearly not done with Vogt. An absolute embarrassment of an auction house!
New site sucks. Can't find stuff. Calender gone. Go back to original site. Much more useful to find items. Need calendar

I called asking questions about an upcoming auction auctionzip was holding where there is no probated will and is currently being contested. The man on the phone snapped stating he was paid to do a job and didnt care about the family affairs. He's in it for the paycheck at the end and then hung up on me. I would not recommend this company to anyone. They lack compassion and basic human decency.
Tip for consumers:
Don't

I did not and will not buy a thing from these people. They are unpleasant and as a company, who says they're just in it for the money, dont care about the family and literally hang the phone up directly after?
This site allows scam. Set the sense of urgency to pay for your item, threatening to ban you from other auctions. They send Docusign contract to look legit. Answers the phone and emails until you pay Using only Wire transfer. No credit card or anything else. This way you cannot block the funds after you find out you got robbed. I won a stolen car, picked it up in an empty church parking lot, by a corn field, promising the title would be in the glove box, mailed, or at the office. A person met me with the key. I went to pick it up at the office and no one was available. Emails returned stating couldn't go thru, bogus tracking on USPS return address. Now their website domain name is no longer valid. Good idea for people to scam others.
Tip for consumers:
Read reviews for length of time in business. No reviews means it’s bad. Meet in person, get repo yard address and pick up there with title. Do not use wire to send funds. there is no way to get your money back.

Beware when buying off of these auction sites. The buyers premiums are high, but they are listed. Shipping charges is where you will get ripped off. Dixon auctions charged me over 90 dollars to ship a 5lb item
Update: package arrived 4 days after the last post. Item was very nice
You have zero positive reviews since you changed the site. Buyers like me find the calendar invaluable to finding auctions that are offering what we want to bid on. Without it I've stopped using the site- as apparently countless others have. I'm sure the auctioneers who are currently using the site will be pleased with the decreased interest and bidding on their auctions. Do you guys work for the government? Bravo!

The revised website this week is HORRIBLE! It's so bad I'm wondering if it's a poison pill to kill the current usage of the site for some reason?
Previously with the calendar I might be able to quickly assess 20-30 auctions in a month with one little window of information. Now the scrolling list shows me only the 4-5 closest upcoming auctions that I STILL have to look through to find the key words I'm searching for. I'm already looking for alternate sites.
Maybe the new idea was to make auctioneers think their upcoming listing is getting the best local exposure but in reality, it limits information to the most active users.
I won an item from Weatherham Estate Treasures using Auctionzip. I have been waiting for the item to arrive and have tried to contact the auction house many times to include phone calls, leaving messages, and via email. Finally out of desperation I contacted the customer service at Auctionzip and they said that they had talked to the auction house and it was getting fixed. Still no contact from Weatherhams, they took my money in a hurry. Auctionzip apparently has no way to enforce rules for a business using their website. I will no longer use this site and warn others to stay away.

None. Never received the item from the business
AuctionZip now has a new website. Everything is all screwed up. You can no longer do local searches for specific items. The auctions no longer appear in chronological order auctions in April appear before auctions in March. Calendar no longer exist don't understand why they change things when it wasn't broken. The CEO probably is not paying attention to what is going on. It's been this way for several weeks. Call their offices no one seems to know what is going on. Trying to find an alternative to AuctionZip.
This company is taking my money and it's been over a month and I have not shipped anything and don't plan on it. They're committing wire fraud and mail fraud and she's selling items today sad pathetic I will not use auction zip ever again They DONOT qualify their people a bunch of criminals
Tip for consumers:
Auction zip does not qualify their auction companies I had two bad experiences with two different auction companies the last one is ripping me off and commit wire fraud in mail from auction zip doesn’t care

Have been using Auctionzip for over 10 years. They recently changed there format, and now its about the worst auction there is to navigate.
Absolutely hate that auction zip got rid of calendar. Whose bright idea was that? Made the site a pain to use. Looking for new site.
Horrible customer service at addressing no solicitation request of customer. I unsubscribed from their emails over a year ago yet they continue to bombard me with emails about registering for auctions
The new site is very confusing and where is the calendar! This is a must. I do t understand it. If I don't know an auction house name how would I ever see the have an auction going on, previously the calendar would tell local area auctions and dates of events. This is truly horrible. Sorry but you went from a 3 1/2 star sight to 1/2star. I can't even find the on-site auctions
Why do we pay more money to get less service. They took calendar away they keep raising fees to list and continue to make changes that burden the auctioneers and there customers that are trying to find auctions to attend. All auctioneers should bond together to convince them to bring back the calendar that worked so well for years.
After being approved to bid in an auction I did just that, bidding on a valuable piece of artwork. I lost out because Invaluable, an AuctionZip site, says my bid was "submitted, not accepted." After multiple days of trying I have yet to receive any explanation from Invaluable as to how or why that might be the case. Never using Invaluable again.
They no longer represent the customers who helped build their business. Did away with calendar and made the site difficult for consumers. After 10 years I will no longer use this service. They are too disconnected from the platform they represent.
You used to be able to search for a specific item and in the listing it would highlight that item not anymore. Bring back the calendar format as everyone has asked. Some guy with no brains probably thought this way a better idea well obviously this guy has never gone to auctions or knows nothing about auctions. This site needs to go away and I hope someone comes up with a better format
The changes on the new site makes this site of no use for anyone searching for which auctions to attend. I have used for many years and have traveled from Virginia to Pa, Ohio, W. V., Tn, the Carolinas and more, Now it is practically impossible to find auctions quickly. It's just a tremendous mess. Why take away the calendar?
The new AuctionZip is terrible.
I used to have the calendar bookmarked & could easily search for auctions.
Now it takes several steps to get the same results.
Admit your mistake and change it back.
I used to rely heavily on Auctionzip, but no longer. They changed the format of their 'Auctionzip Alerts' emails in such a way that you can no longer set up email rules to nag you when certain auctioneers you follow have posted an upcoming sale. It's a big loss for me, as I haven't been able to come up with a workaround. (I fiddle with it off an on, to no avail)
Yuck, sorry too hard to navigate old site was much much easier to use, looking for alternative site. Want to make things better? Go back to the old site.
