Too hard to navigate site, find the order of sale, and predict when time-wise something will come up for sale
Too hard to bid online at a live auction and keep up/ understand what the bid call is and enter an opposing bid that is appropriate

The bidding process was fine, but when they went to describe the equipment and switched microphones, the internet could not hear what was being said, so that is a disadvantage for the internet bidders.

I bid $ 2500.00, auction said bid was $3000,00. Charged me $3300.00 on invoice. This is not acceptable. Someone needs to call me ASAP and fix this 214/926-7555. I have been dealing with auction house all day. Running out of time. I would give no stars if that was a option.

The technology used to coordinate on-site bidding with internet bidding is amazing. This is a good auction experience, and the website is easy to understand and follow to proceed with the bidding process. Just register, and you are good to go.

I was not very happy when I bid apparently at the same time as someone else or just a millisecond slower and was not aware that the bid doubled because of that so I ended up paying more than my set price for this piece of equipment. I sure hope it's worth it!

I ended up buying lots 117&118
December 28, 2024

I ended up buying lots 117&118. I really only wanted 118. When you came to lot 117 you offered choice of 117 or 118. I wasn't able to figure out how to tell you I wanted lot 118 so I got 117. Than I had to bid on lot 118.

Well my experiance was not a very pleasent one. I was winning the internet bid and nobody else was bidding either on the internet or the live in person auction, and equipment facts automatically raised my bid. So the only 2 bids on my item were from myself when i did not bid a second time. Not sure why it did that but i was not to pleased with it also. Cost me more money then it needed to!

Bidding was run very quickly and ended too quickly. I wasn't given the option of bidding the price I wanted, the price for the next bid was put into the box and I had the option of taking that price for my bid or not bidding at all. It was somewhat confusing, I should have had a blank space that I could type in what I wanted to bid. Several items I didn't bother to bid after I saw the bids were going up thousands of dollars at a time. I understand the time restrictions, but an auction should allow online bidders to bid at the amounts they feel comfortable with bidding. If an item is at $5000, I should be able to bid $5200 or $5500, not have a $6000 bid in the box and then bid that or don't bid at all. The speed that items closed at was very fast giving little time to consider what is happening. I often bid online timed auctions where items are all given deadlines on closing and I pick the price that I am bidding until they close.

I had a hard time following along in the catalog. It seemed to keep jumping around and not following item to item.

Worst auction site
December 24, 2024

Caused me to lose out on a number of trucks on an auction I was waiting on for a month. And of course it was a saturday so I could not get ahold of anyone. Took my deposit though and wont give it back. Trucks are gone, deposit is gone, couldnt bid. Complete waste of time. I called the actual auction place and they agreed that equipment facts is a terribly buggy site with zero help. Never again.
