It was a Very easy and straight forward streamlined bidding process
I just bid on and won a New Holland pull type hay swather. The bidding process is easy to follow and understand. I will bid again when there is something I'm interested in. Thank you for a great experience!
Richard - thank you for the review. Glad your experience with our site was enjoyable.
Bidding on computer is good, but this time I used my I phone and for me it was very clumsy.
Roger - thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We would be glad to assist you in learning the ins and outs of the app. Please call us at 800-334-7443.
Fr8Star was horrible to deal with. They recommended a shipper, but shipper didn't pick up on scheduled time. Fr8Star actually recommended HMH Logistics. Well, when I called about the delay, I received lots of "um's" and "I'll have him call you back"'s. I'll just do another route and avoid Fr8Star. Fr8Star hasn't saved me a penny and delayed me. Not recommended.
I have always been happy using your service. No complaints.
Another satisfied customer! Thanks for the feedback, Jim.
I gave more than I initially planned on bidding but I think I still got an okay deal. The good thing is that there was no buyer's premium. I refuse to buy things with a buyer's premium. I have quit using 2 other major auction sites due to ridiculous buyer's premium and charging the seller also.
Glad you enjoyed using our site. Remember, if the item has one, the buyer's premium will be noted in the listing in red. You can click on buyer's premium to get more information.
Cheating. The price of the Equipment I bid suppose to be at $11,500 but since I max bid at $14,300 by mistake instead of $12,300. The auctiontime.com algorithm took the price crazy from $11,500 to 14,300 in last 4mins. So, I'm not taking the equipment, never bidding in auctiontime.com or any affiliates auctions, and spreading my experience with everyone I know.
Thank you

This was my first time ever using an on-line auction service...I am totally satisfied! I drove to the seller's site yesterday and took delivery of the item I purchased, and the sprayer is everything expected it to be. Thank You!
Glad to hear, Ted. Thank you for the feedback.
If I could make this a zero or negative I would. I bought a trailer through an auction from them and was ran around for 24 hours trying to get answers on who and where to pay, transferred store to store claiming the guy responsible for banking wasn't anywhere to be found whenever I called to pay them money. Only to be told through a voicemail 2 days later, they never had a trailer available, but yet they had posted 3 for sale through the auction site. Somehow they even added a buyers premium the day before the auction ended, and yet they didn't have a trailer available. They also had to type in a full description of said trailer, VIN included along with the auction site, but yet again, supposedly no trailer available. This company never offered to make it right or compensate my time for the runaround, and complete disregard for how auction sites work. Never tried to help me find a trailer, that I needed, and still need, mind you. Never followed up to earn my business after this screw up.
Imagine if I 'sold' them something and just decided it was too cheap and rather than try to make it right, just cold turkey decided to bulk a sale. What kind of business runs this way?
As a farmer and trucker I would never recommend this company to anyone. The auction company tried to help me out but of course can't force someone to do anything but just slap them on the wrist and will notify the correct parties of this.
Companies like this need to be held accountable for their poor business ethics and put on blast for not following through.

Horrible would five a zero of I could give zero, bid on trailer and won it. To get a call say it already sold to someone else. No compensation or consequences for the seller.
The auction process was great. I would like to see a confirmation of winning. I would also like to see an invoice sent to me that shows who and how much will be paid.
Thanks Aaron! Also, you are able to sign up to receive a winning bidder notifications under you account preference in the upper left-hand corner under your name or log in.
I believe that some sellers-especially dealers are abusing the rules of auctiontime especially the rule of price manipulation--I have watched the countdown to the conclusion of an auction many times and if a higher bid is offered it extends the the timeframe of the auction as it should--however I have seen the time extend without the price increasing--I have seen the same item previously sold return to the auction site a month later and the same process recurring--if the dealer has a reserve price it should be stated instead of trying to push a higher price thru the auction process--I can provide specific examples if wanted but I believe auctiontime knows what is going on---Jeff
I was really disappointed when i had the bid up to 20 seconds left and did not win. I was never given the chance to bid again. Need to put in an extended time with bids come in the last second.
It is a very easy and user friendly auction site. I've been on some other sites but this one is by far the best one so far.
Thanks, Scott! Glad to hear you like it so much!
Bidding has been easy and Auction Time always follows up to ensure buyers and sellers have no issues...

Thank you for the review. Glad you enjoy using Auctiontime.
Muy bien! Esta competido pero la experiencia es exitante y gracias por dame la oportunidad de ser un pujador más
Hi Mario! Welcome, glad to hear you find the bidding action exciting on Auctiontime.com.
I had used site in the past. Logged in at end of auction with no problem. Ended up being high bid. Don't know if that's good or bad! Very efficient process.
Mark, thank you for the review. Glad you were able to access the site with ease.
Bidding is easy and fair. The adding of time after late bids keeps someone from not getting time to bid.
Thanks for the feedback, Dale!
