This was my first time bidding and… This was my first time bidding and winning auction items. I must say, HIBid made the process fun, easy and convenient. We are now addicted.

Validate to bid I love to browse auctions and when I find the deal I didn't know I needed, I strike. The only thing that would make Hi-bid easier is if Hi-bid would prequalifyus for the individual auctions by some manner. I.e. if bidders had to pay $100.00 by credit card and leave on deposit then that buys them into auctions of a set estimated value. The price of deposit would increase commensurate to the estimated cost of the auction determined by the company selling. However to browse every auction should cost nothing unless a bid is want to be aubmitted.

This auctioneer Pasadena/Prime Bids is… This auctioneer Pasadena/Prime Bids on the HiBids site is a schyster. He often posts inaccurate auctions on HiBids. This time I bid on two auctions, one for a large Christmas bow, and 39lbs of epsom salt. The bow was much smaller than the description measurements both written and image. And, I got a winch in a box labeled epsom salt. I emailed the auctioneer and he told me that “I failed” to research the Amazon complaints for the bow- and that “I failed” to accurately discern what I was bidding on regarding the winch. Therefore no refund would be given for the bow at all. I was also told that I must drive 2 hours back and forth to return the broken winch to receive a $20 refund- and that I would not be receiving the epsom salt because that is not what I bid on, even though the title, written description and 5 pictures showed the epsom salt, only 2 depicted the winch. The winch was not in the title or in the written description.

Everything went well Everything went well. I was bidding on 4 different auctions. I got my pick-up dates confused, but the auctioneer at Taylor Auctions called me at closing to remind me of the pick-up I missed. He then waited 1.5 hours for me to get there, Chad is a very nice guy. I will be doing business with him again.

The site is very user friendly overall The site is very user friendly overall. I did try asking two questions which were never answered; may have been because it was a Saturday night. I also had accidentally bid on an item, 100% mistake but still my fault, and the team was able to help me remedy the situation.
