First time user, had made an account previously, but never bid. Via email I happen to see something of interest to me, I logged on and the auction was taking place live. Before I knew it I had bid on a few items and won. I received an invoice the following day, with an itemized list and I plan to go pick up tomorrow. I've been a little intimidated try this in the past, not anymore, was very easy, and had fun.
I've encountered a frustrating situation with damaged orders and no means to secure refunds from sellers. Additionally, obtaining tracking numbers for won auctions seems impossible. Moreover, there's no avenue to review sellers' actions in such instances. Despite attempting to contact HiBid for assistance, they haven't responded, leaving me no choice but to resort to a chargeback through my bank. This experience leads me to believe that HiBid may be operating dishonestly.

I love the items you offered as they are of high quality and I'm thrilled with the ones I won. Bidding is fairly easy and the email notices help me keep on top of my items. Unfortunately your website is very difficult to navigate and, to find the auction I was involved was extremely hard. I found I just went from the email you sent me. Please update your web site to be more user friendly otherwise I will avoid bidding with you.
I was sent an emailed a notice of the auction
Thank you for your feedback, Janet. We're delighted to hear that you're pleased with the quality of the items you won and that bidding was straightforward for you. Happy bidding!

I would dare say I have purchased at least 8 diamonds, Gold, and designer handbags. In my first order I was nervous for the product to arrive, making sure I was not duped. When it arrived, as they had said the day etc, I was very pleased. I still had doubts, so purchased a diamond tested, and all looked good. Took to big Diamond store to have mounting and they were just another confidence booster in my decision.
it was via email, and just had couple questions on first purchase. how I would get details on shipping, when it would ship etc. but everything went as told and every purchase, I know what to expect and they are quite fast.
Found it by luck, while looking into a real-estate auction site for a house that was down the road from my house.

Super fun and easy to use. Type in what I am looking for, and boom there it is.
Search by zip codes within a radius, got it.
Find auctions that have shipping offered, boom there as well.
Need to contact the auction house, there as well.
You can not go wrong with HiBid.
Super easy to use and a great place for auctions close to me.
Steven, we're thrilled to hear about your positive experience! We're here to make your HiBid journey enjoyable and convenient. If you ever have more feedback or suggestions, feel free to share. Happy bidding!
I use HiBid all the tie to search online auctions within 50 miles of home. It makes it so much easier to scan several auctioneers' for bargains and treasure without having to go to each auctioneer's site I like knowing within minutes of an auction ending if I've won items or not. And I can do all of this from the comfort of home, although I'm sure it will work on one of those "magic phones" if you have one. I prefer my 'puter with its larger screen.
HiBid gathers info on many local auctions, making my searches for bargains much easier. The format allows for photos, and info on items up for bid, and provides the locations and terms of each auction. I can also easily check back to see if I have been out bid
I was just in a live auction placed my bid waited to see if anyone else would outbid me the timer hits 0 and closes then they claim ive lost the bid even though i have the highest bid and a working payment method setup with them scummy experience also the other item i supposedly won on they are now claiming i MIGHT have one not actual conformation saying i won even though once again i was the highest bidder on close the site now displaying out bid even though the last bid was placed by me at 32.50

Mitchell, we've contacted you via private message to address these concerns, we look forward to assisting you with this matter. Thanks, The HiBid Team.
My husband and I decided to see what we could get for as little money as possible and we did really well! We got 23 lots and are extremely pleased with our purchases. Two lots were wrong(lots 26 and 1527)-but the rest were exactly what we expected. On-line was easy and setting up pick up was also easy. Men working at pick up were friendly and it was easy to find! We will definitely use this auction service again!
We have not heard back yet. I will give them some time to reply!
Found it on-line along with another more local auction we have used in the past.
Every thing went good started use this system three yrs ago. When we were in shut down...good time looking through and then go back if I decide to bid on that auction.
Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your continued support and trust in our platform. If you have any suggestions or if there's anything we can do to enhance your experience further, please feel free to let us know.
Can,t figure out the closing which can be enough to piss me off. I spend enough that a friend can get a early close by MISTAKE>? That is not the first time I got screwed might be the last time. In the last year I,ve bought over 20 grand of some good some bad but maybe I can now give up. It was fun while it lasted. To old to get screwed in my younger day $#*! would happen just because.
Gave me a answer on the easy way out.

I have bid and won some great stuff on Hi-Bid. From washing machine, clothes dryer, freezer. Jewelry and coins to metal detectors. I just got a lawnmower yesterday for a good price. You name it its on here.
Found by accident on a google search.

Love bidding online. It's very easy. I only gave 4 stars because I find it difficult to search in my area. It came up with different auctions even though I put in the same search criteria.
Local auction houses use it and it's close to pick up my wins.

During the auction, the screen scrolled and reloaded, making it difficult to monitor the auction and bid on appropriate items. After items completed, I was surprised to see the comment "MAY HAVE WON". That was a bit indecisive. I was unable to pay for my items the next day because of technical difficulties.
It was the service used by the auctioneer.
I have bid on this site and when I win my items are received. AIKEN VINTAGE AUCTIONS are not honest, nor do they like to respond. Paid 106 on a won item 12/13/2023, and I'm yet to receive my item. No one seems to be able to help me with this. I will say GARNET GAZELLE is a very good Auction. They are honest and items are shipped out quickly and no false advertising or anything… If AIKEN VINTAGE was as honest I would have nothing but good things to say.
Tip for consumers:
I feel like I was taken for my money. I paid for an item I never received and today makes 2 months. This is terrible and my money was taking from me.
Thank you, George, for sharing your feedback with us. We've reached out via private message to assist you with this.
This and most of my other experiences have been great. Ladage auctions as well as most others have been great. Saying that, I've had 3 bad dealings with ogle auctions, as in paying and never receiving my items, only to watch them listed again. Repeated email and texts, phone messages left with no response. I don't bid in ogle auctions anymore. Unlike all of the others, they're very disreputable.
They represent my favorite auction companies.
Love the deals I get on hibid! Trusted site get everything sent to me very fast. Easy pay and go!
Best site on the internet!

I had a great 1st experience. I searched what I was looking for and put them in my watch list. I got notifications as a reminder (thank goodness) and won my auction. Follow up emails for shipping made it easy too. I'll definitely be a repeat bidder

Great site depending on what you're looking for, can be anything from jewelry, antiques, furniture, toys, etc. Always a wide variety and sometimes good pricing/ bidding, dependent on what you're looking for.
Always fun to shop, the buying part cuts into my allowance, but as is said, you can't take it with you…
Happened upon the website while looking at auctions, signed in, managed to time it right, won some goodies…..
If you read each auctions details regarding the bidding, everything makes sense. I do wish that it would state floor bid instead of pulled on items. Otherwise, I believe it is very clear and enjoyable.
I enjoy auction experiences. It is nice to be able to participate in auctions that would not otherwise be feasible do to travel.
Thank you for your feedback, Stacy! We appreciate your insights and are glad to hear that you find our bidding process clear and enjoyable. If you have any more suggestions or questions, please feel free to reach out. Happy bidding!
