My recent experience with auction vault was very disappointing. I sent the auctioneer a number of emails and have not received any response. All I got was their invoice. The lot title and description was not that clear or accurate. As a result I bud on an item thinking it was 5 ounces of silver pellets when it was in reality 1 ounce. I put a bud of 50 with a max bid 72. The bidding action was also very sketchy as there were bids right up to 71 dollars. No other 1 ounce lot came close to that. It seemed like the auctioneer was putting in fake bids in order to drive up my purchase price. Left a very bad taste in my mouth. I tried to lower my max bid from 72 to 51, the current hi bid, but your system did not allow it. You should allow that as other auctions do allow modification of max bids. I Told auction vaults that I wanted them to cancel that purchase. They can easily add that to a future auction at minimal cost. Otherwise I will boycott all their future actions out of Principle. My future participation in any Hibid auction is actually now being reconsidered.

I've used this site several times now, and I've never been disappointed! What you see is what you get! Love how it finds small town estates where you can find gems

Great experience. System was fast and loved my items. Thanks

I recently participated in an auction from DEEZ in Nicholasville ky. I purchased several items at a fair price. It's easy to bid. I will buy again.

Easy to bid and a variety of items.Lots of nice items that are available

Easy to use and they had what I was looking for. Can see local or distant auctions.

I thought that I had the bid. I watched and it said I had won the bid. YetI have had no contact from the auction. Was there a problem with the auction or the site? Not sure what has happened but I would like to know.

I purchased a chicken coop and received a hamster cage. I believed I would actually get what I purchased but the picture was not even what I bought. This site allows deceitful and untrustworthy sellers to sell merchandise that may not even be the right product that is pictured. I am very disappointed and will not use this site again.

I want to complain about the most recent particularly unhappy auction experience. The name is GTA Auction. There is deceptive behavior in their Description. I want to auction a bag of dog food, which is said to be 35lb, "open from the top", without any real pictures. But when I went to pick up the goods, I found it wasn't 35lb. There was less than half a bag of dog food. So I said at that time that it wasn't what I wanted. They said they could refund me by EMT, so I didn't take the dog food away and waited for them to refund me. But a week has passed. During this period, I sent them several emails, but no one replied to me. I also called several times, all saying they would return it to me, but I still haven't received it. I'm extremely angry about this auction experience. I hope everyone won't be deceived in the future.

It was great. Even pickup, only thing I could add is because there were no dimensions or sizes I thought I bought a set of regular sized vases and when I picked them up they were only 4 inches tall! That part could use improvement, otherwise everything else was great.

BUYER BEWARE! They sell jewelry and use unrealistic "retail appraisals" I based my buying price at 10% of their appraisal. My Jewler only apprised it at half of what I paid. Same Auctions AJCA, AA, SJA. Owner of these auction houses is Adam Hill.

Online auctioning is fun. The only recommendation I would make is to allow the customer to have access to our billing information to know that the invoices have been paid. Having to check back and forth with the auctioneer to ensure payment has been received adds and additional point of contact that could be removed.

Wife bid on 2 rings and one them both. We do want the appraisal for both. Great auction!

I really like how the auction house titles their lots it makes it fun and interesting and very descriptive. I have never had an issue with bidding or picking up an item always friendly always have your items ready I will definitely be bidding again

I had a great time bidding and got a great deal on what I have been looking for.

Tuned in thinking my lot was coming up. It was in the last 2 minutes. I had the top bid. No one else bid. Done in3 minutes or so.
Nearly missed the item. Could have used an email when it was coming up for aeuction

The bidding was great and professional! I won a bid and the item was as described. The pictures of all of the items that I viewed or was interested in was excellently presented!

HiBid makes it very easy to place bids and purchase things from local auctions. I even purchase things from auctions cross the United States and Canada. They've made it possible for everyone to participate in bidding on auctions. They're a valuable resource for finding. Hard to locate items and items at a fraction of the cost you woukd find them elsewhere.

I placed the highest bid of $650 on Lot #400 (Canik TTI Combat 9mm) via HiBid on May 10,2025. The auction closed on May 18 with a final sale price of exactly $650—my bid. Yet, I was not named the winner, and neither HiBid nor the auctioneer has responded to my repeated inquiries. No explanation, no accountability. This raises serious concerns about the integrity and fairness of their auction process. Buyers, beware.
