I'm 73 years old and have been buying items for myself, not to resell, for years. I have utilized all the other formats of various names any 'shopper' would recognize. HiBid quickly became my favorite and they are second to none in every way. Believe me, when this old Cherokee Indian says they're the easiest and best to use, try them. Respectfully, Dale (Bigindin)yeah

Overall, hybrid is as good as any of the other online auctions platforms. However, high bed seems to really run into trouble during the closing and the bidding and the platform can't handle the number of bitters.

I recently bought a few things at auction, and things went smoothly except when I checked hibid for my current or past bids the lots I bid on and won were not listed anymore. I was a little confused why they were not showing up as current or past bids

It was good. Everything worked out and had no problems. The bids went in quickly and there was no hesitation.

Fun, easy, organized. Never had done an online auction. Site was easy to manage! Auction pickup was organized and simple. Will be participating in more online auctions!

II appreciate the good pictures and the bidding process. It's easy to register, easy to follow and the pick up process has always been a friendly and easy experience.

Sometimes the shipping is absolutely ridiculous, Also, I have received broken items which nobody would refund…Most of the time all is good, but I do prefer when the auctioneers contact me through email and not by phone! You have some sellers who are just awesome and some who are rude and do not want to even help..

Aurora is a very reputable auction house. I have both purchased and sold with them. Have been very satisfied with all aspects of their company. Would recommend them highly.

I bid on a vintage Santa out of state so I requested shipping. This particular auction site used an outside packing service. I think the packers wrapped the Santa so tight that it broke during the shipping process. I immediately notified the auction site and was instructed to call another number which I did. I was then instructed to send pictures via email which I did. It's been over three weeks and I've heard nothing from the auction site or the packers as to a refund.

Have been using the service for a year or so for a local bi-weekly auction. The system works well, and the only issue I have is not with Hi-Bid, but the auctioneer who can be sporadic with his viewing and start times.

I thought I had won several items since the auctions were closing with my bid being last one placed, but it turns out the "winning" was at seller's discretion. Reserve wasn't met, so seller didn't want to let go of the items. Either have a minimum bid or make it clear to bidders that it's a seller's discretion. In the end, it was a total waste of my night.

I recently participated in a couple auctions over the last two weeks. I used a windows 10 computer and an IPhone 16. The computer was fine and had no issues. On the phone, I used the google app primarily on the phone. I could still view and bid on lots with no issues until the lots went "live". Just a minute or two left. The timer would count down and the price would update when people bid, but the bid button would not work for me. I tried repeatedly and sometimes it would go to the confirm bid screen but even then it would stop responding to input. I could go back to the previous page or even to a lot that was not "live" and normal function would return. It was frustrating because I would definitely have spent more money. I even switched to the safari browser on the iPhone and had the same issue.

I'm an experienced bidder and auctioneer on hibid and when I started bidding on the channel letters halfway into it the site locked up. I refreshed the page and couldn't get back in for a while, then got back it but couldn't bid, then could bid one time then it would lock up again.

It was pretty good. The only thing i dont like is the bidders names. You really dont know if the owner is bidding to drive up the price or not. It should not be anonymous. People driving up the price higher than what you can actually buy the stuff in the stores. Not talking about antiques

I won stuff but they never contacted anyone, 3 weeks later they said I won asked where I could pickup and then they never responded, they said Hibid was to blame for everything?

It is easy to register and bid. The auction finish up and the bill are easy.

I was using iPhone and bidding opened another window. This other window was not an active bidding window resulting in bidding refresh rates and bids were difficult to post.
