The bidding experience was great
March 27, 2025

The bidding experience was great. It would be nice to get an email on the items I purchased. I cannot find them anywhere. Good things I wrote them down.

I made 3 bids online
March 26, 2025

I made 3 bids online
One I jumped off at the end and was OK on Kubota Backhoe
2 I bid on a horse trailer and won.
The 3rd I pre bid $200 for a flat bottom John boat. Said I was the high bidder and had a little red hart
Then the bidding started at $100 went to $200 and thought it was me, they said SOLD to a guy at the auction for $200. Hmmm,. Bit disappointing but not sure what happened
Just wanted you to know
Thanks

There's no bidding issues

There's no bidding issues. There's just so many dealers that it's hard for regular Joe like me to get a good deal.

I was able to purchase one of the items I was interested in but the audio and video feed had gone out so I was kind of just shooting in the dark when I bid. Another item I was interested in showed up as a no sale and I have no idea why because of the audio issues.

It would be better if a deadline for bidding was listed, there is no cut-off time for any of the bids.

We'll let the seller know. Generally it's about one-hour prior to the live sale.

The biggest issue was the quality of the audio. Could not understand nearly a single word during the auction. It sounded like there were multiple phones sitting on speaker right next to each other. Awful experience.
Secondly, the operator of the online portion could not keep up and keep entering the wrong value of the bid. However. If the person was not live at the auction there is no way they could have understood based on the audio quality. Thirdly, I won a UTV. However come to find out I was bidding against a live person and the auctioneer did not establish communication with "web people" so it was effectively sold to 2 individuals. Didn't find that out till I was packing up to come get the item. Awful experience pretty much overall.

I purchased a 14 foot enclosed trailer on your auction. I drove 90 minutes to go pick it up only to discover it was a 10' trailer. I spoke with the auctioneer and he apologized. I didn't end up taking the trailer as it's not what I needed.
