Going to an auction on your couch.
February 28, 2026

It's nice not to have to fight a crowd, stand behind people where you can't see anything. Fight the weather if it's bad. Have several days to think about what you want to bid on or how much you want to bid on it. Only downside is sometimes pictures. Don't tell the whole story. Without being able to touch hold and look over the item you're bidding on.

Disappointing
February 24, 2026

The auction I recently participated in was interrupted by a network crash. It happens unfortunately. It was supposed to resume the next day and start where it left off but instead it restarted from the beginning which made for huge confusion. I felt terrible for the Auctioneer. He had to deal with a big mess.

Notice
February 24, 2026

It has been two days since the close on the auction. However the only indication that I had the winning bid was the charge to my credit card. Still no follow-up…

I went well,
February 24, 2026

The only thing I would like to to change it's when someone increases the bit, it's not go to 5 minutes but only 2 to waste time.

Well run and easy to understand
February 22, 2026

I enjoy being able to bid on and make purchases from the comfort of my desk. The one issue is that items often tend to swim by as I am looking at other items or researching pricing. Would be nice to split screen or something in order to address multiple offers/biddings at once.

Seamless and Organized
February 21, 2026

Very well run auction and pickup with kind and helpful employees. My only suggestions for improvement would be to improve the quality of pictures and number of pictures, provide more measurements and list any defects/damage.

Jury is still out
February 20, 2026

I really try to be fair with reviews, and I'm not sure the site is entirely responsible for the actions of the individual auction reps, but KDC (Key Date Coins) is basically dead to rights on fraud claims, and I nearly sent them a ton of money before I found this out. Now I'm HOPING it's just them, and I've received a few things from other sellers, but it's obvious there's at least some weeding out of fraudsters that needs to happen. Overall use of the site is great, and I like the ways you can use the site, so again, I might give them 5 stars later if they do the right thing and help prevent/eliminate fraud.

Inaccurate results?
February 18, 2026

One item was shown that I may have won, but did not show up on my invoice, another item that I did bid on and did not know I won till I seen it on my invoice. Specifically item 295 was shown as may have won while item 2088 did not show up until my invoice came in?

Need to be able to give seller feedback
February 16, 2026

The site has some good auctions. There are several that are unpoliced that sell forged autographs. Sellers can leave negative feedback on bidders but bidders can't do anything about it.

Hibid is good but not great.
February 14, 2026

My two biggest complaints by far is when searching by category, not being able to find the category when there are over 70k listings for it. The second part of that complaint is searching for an auction under that category when you look at a catalog and then go back to the auction listings you constantly get a 404 error then have to refresh up to five times before it reloads the auctions in a different sort order.

Great online bidding platform
February 13, 2026

Can't say enough on how simple and easy it is to use Hibid. Everything it right there, and also makes searching for certain items easy. Also a great way to pass some down time.

My bidding experience was good. And I won a couple of the bids for rather inexpensive things. The problem is that the times available to pick up the objects are extremely limited. The pick up site is in Green Valley and you have to schedule a time on a specific day within a three hour window and a less than 5 minute appointment. Changing costs $50. I am not likely to bid on anything else in future auctions because of this problem. I'm not sure if they have a storefront, but if they do, it shouldn't be all that difficult to schedule a pick up that is convenient for the buyer.

I bid on a coin, later learned that it may be fake and the auction house had all this fine print/disclaimers stating as-is/no refunds. I tell you what. If it is a fake I expect a refund and will do a chargeback.

Fun Way to Get Some Cool Stuff
February 2, 2026

I've bid in a few auctions through HiBid and it was always an easy and seamless experience. I didn't always get what I bid on, but when I did, I never had any issues receiving my items. If you want to have some fun and try out an auction, HiBid is a great place to do so.

Great way to get good stuff cheap
January 30, 2026

I've been using HiBid for a few years now and it's great! I find all kinds of items that I would never buy at retail prices but are available at an excellent value on HiBid. Thanks for making the bidding process so easy!

Easy to Bid
January 29, 2026
Updated review

Super easy to sort listings. Once registered, bidding was smooth. If you're going against another, the listing adds time so you can change your bid. No swooping in and getting it last second. Definitely a fair practice.

Great deals to be had
January 27, 2026

Wanted to purchase new furniture for my daughter's new condo, but the stores sell cheaply made goods at high prices.
I found almost all of her needs at HIBID auction! Fraction of the cost. Great quality.
