Love HiBid! So many auctions
October 2, 2024

Hindi is so easy to navigate, to use. I have bid on items in my home state and other states and have had the smoothest buyer experience. All items have been exactly as the seller described and so worth the money!

Positive but not the same.
October 2, 2024

Hibid is good but has gotten too popular to fast. Years ago you could get unbelievable deals. Now so many people bidding that some lots go for higher than retail prices. It's hit or miss now. With the influx of people has created a new problem ith hibid, the site freezing and crashes alot now. I regularly get disconnected several times during a auction now. This was never a problem 5-8 years ago.

Thanks for your feedback, and apologies for the late reply. We appreciate that you've been with HiBid for years, and we understand how the platform’s growth has changed the experience—both in bidding dynamics and performance.

We’re sorry to hear about the site freezing and disconnections during auctions. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our users. As for support delays, we also regret that you didn’t receive timely or helpful responses—we're working to improve that.

We truly value your continued use of the platform and hope future auctions feel smoother and more rewarding.

BID AND never received an invoice!
October 2, 2024

Sorry, I wouldn't recommend this service. If I fill out all the information, handle all the payment crappola and then don't receive an invoice and lose my items...

Thanks for your feedback, and sorry we didn’t get back to you sooner. That experience sounds incredibly frustrating—especially after taking the time to register and bid.

Invoices and payments are managed directly by each auction house, so if you didn’t receive one, we recommend reaching out to the seller for clarification. We're happy to help connect you if needed.

We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope we can help make future auctions smoother for you.

Typically a smooth transaction
October 2, 2024

Usually everything goes pretty smooth, just happens today that I bid on a lot that I was the winning bidder when the time had expired and the lot was flashing "Closing" and then another bid was allowed to register. I ended up buying the lot but had to wait an additional 5 minutes and it cost me $20. So not a horrible experience but I was a little annoyed at the time.

Buying great pickup not so much
October 1, 2024

I bid paid for and scheduled with no problem, untill I went to pick my stuff up. Was told they were having an issue with the scheduling computer. I waited 1 1/2 hours for my stuff to come out

Thanks for your feedback, and sorry for the late reply. We’re glad to hear the bidding and payment process went smoothly, but we’re really sorry to hear about the long wait at pickup—that’s frustrating, especially with scheduling in place.

Each auction house manages their own pickup process, so we always recommend reaching out ahead of time if anything seems off. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope your next pickup is a faster one.

Happy bidding!

I have found so many great deals on HiBid! I watch for all the local auctions each week and can't believe how often I even find brand new items. It saves me a lot of money.

I've been using HiBid for years now, I'm a reseller as well as a consumer, live if the middle of flyover country and need an active way to source for my business. One of the things that I love about the program is you can set your filters to find almost anything, however you really need to be wary of the consequence of your choices...ie...USA or Canada and Shipping or No Shipping Auctions. I also have my set auctioneers, the ones that I love and trust, and although they send me emails with upcoming auctions, I can quickly look them up by name and see what they have.
I really love HiBid!
