A simple and easy interface to auctions around the US. I wish that there was some consistency of administrative and shipping standards among the auctioneers - that is perhaps the only downside

Rude. Manager (red hair lady) unhappy, unhelpful. Product was described as new/other, however it was damaged to point of no repair. Questioned the Manager she opted for contact the owner and he will say the same, "you weren't forced to bid". Made my day.

Hibid protects and promotes frauds. I am speaking about Berger Coins and Collectibles. I spent a little over $1200.00 at an auction. Was supposed to be bank boxes and coins. Turns out it was far from it. After waiting almost two months and getting the police involved I finally received a package from Erik Matthews who owns Berger Coins and Collectibles and it was mostly junk. The bank boxes were little wooden boxes from Amazon. They had fake gems in them and some penny's. A couple other Coins also came. Max value probably $100.00 oh and this company is only 5 miles from my home. Buyer beware. Just Google the reviews about Berger Coins and Collectibles in Loveland Colorado. You'll see how much of a thief he is. Hibid does nothing to protect customers. In fact they continue to promote him. Beware.

HiBid has a good website setup that makes bidding easy and the whole process is easy to follow. The pickup of items is also very easy. We had no problems at all so far with bidding, pickup or payment. The only downside is the website search for auctions. It doesn't work. Also the notifications for a specific area only.
Ulrike, we're thrilled to hear about your positive experiences with HiBid! Thank you for your feedback regarding the website search and notifications. If you have any specific suggestions or need assistance, please feel free to share. Happy bidding!
Answer: Licensed auctioneer here- auction law is that if you give notice that you need to retract your bid before the hammer falls (or the auction ends online) that the auctioneer is required to retract the bid. Actual law also dictates that bidding must start over at opening bid, not the next highest bid.
Answer: Very easy. If you dont get someone immediately they do call back. But once again if you have a problem with items contact the auction house not hibid. Hibid doesn't auction they only provide the platform
Answer: Most auctioneer there are scammers, a thrift store would be better option.
Answer: YES! Confirmed by an auctioneer I know. Hibid auctioneers can see your "maximum bid" and in most states it's legal to "shill" an auction or to bid against the public bidders - to "ensure reasonable sale prices" per national auctioneers associations. Also, anyone can set up an identity and bid against you. Although that may get interesting when they have to pay a commission to "buy" their own item!
Answer: "Mechanically challenged" is often a term auctioneers use to indicate that an item might not be functioning properly. It usually means that the piece needs repairs, doesn't operate as intended, or may have some technical issues. It's best to reach out to the seller for a clearer explanation to avoid any surprises. By confirming the exact condition directly with them, you'll have a better understanding of what you're bidding on.
Answer: Yes, if you suspect any fraud, please contact HiBid directly at 844-775-4774. Our team is here to assist you and ensure a safe and secure experience.
Answer: Some auctioneers require credit card verification as part of the bidder registration process. This process involves a temporary authorization charge of $1.00 to ensure the card is valid. In some cases, additional processing fees or taxes might cause the amount to appear slightly higher, such as $1.46. Please rest assured that this is not an actual charge but rather a temporary hold that will be released by your card issuer. Typically, these holds clear within 5-7 business days, depending on your financial institution. If the charge doesn't disappear after this time, we recommend contacting your credit card provider for further assistance.
Answer: Thank you for reaching out regarding your bidder rating and the reasons behind it. Bidder ratings on HiBid are determined by various factors, such as your bidding activity and whether you've been permanently approved or declined by auction companies in the past. Unfortunately, HiBid support and bidders themselves cannot view or access these ratings or the specific reasons behind them, as this information is exclusively available to auctioneers. The best way to gain insight is to contact an auctioneer you have a good relationship with or one whose auctions you'd like to participate in. They may be able to provide some clarity or work with you to address any concerns.
Answer: Thank you for reaching out! We understand how it can be confusing when an item is removed before an auction ends, but please rest assured it's not a scam. Sometimes auctioneers encounter unforeseen issues and may need to cancel or relist items. Keep in mind that auctioneers often work with consignors to ensure items are sold fairly, which can involve reserve prices or other considerations that may or may not be visible on specific listings. We recommend reaching out to the auctioneer directly for more details. If you have any difficulty reaching them, we're here to help facilitate communication.
Answer: Yes, HiBid regularly features a wide selection of motorcycles available for auction.
