BidSpotter.com Reviews 

Participated in an auction where items were somehow being bid on after the timer on my screen counted down to 0. There was a syncing issue during the auction and nothing was done about it. No integrity in the auction and no answers other than "sorry for the inconvenience."

I have never had any problems with Bid Spotter. I'm glad they exist. It's a place where you can see multiple auctions from specific countries. I do however have problems with specific auctioneers. Problems such as lack of communication. When asking their persons on site [at the auction site] to inform me when my items are ready to pick up no one contacts me and I loose the items and my money. This is a fairly frequent occurance on low cost items. I contact the auctioneers but have never received a reply. I would say this has happened 4 times in 5 years.

PLATFORM FOR SCAMMERS

PLEASE STAY CLEAR! it's only a platform to cover up scamming auctions that are con men rude and uneducated!!!

I was extremely displeased with Bidspotter, as there were 1,000's of items that were to end today. Then, they notified us all, the auction was extended for 24 hours because of such high interest. Thinking I had over 24 hours left to bid, they suddenly decide out of nowhere to end auctions today, without notice of them changing plan for the second time. Now, upon calling them, they said they ended it early because a buyer offered more for the 1,000's of telescopes we were bidding on.. How is this even legal Needless? It seems there end should be bound as we are; after all, it's a legal agreement between both parties, us and them. What do you expect from a California company I guess,, liberal madness,, no loyalty. Hey dumb asses, you would have gotten much more from individuals. You have no ideal. In your own words, you extended the auction do to high interest. Then you backstab everyone again, by ending it short. Needless to say, I lost out on many opportunities. Now I see why people say they suck. I even took a picture of their notification.

Its seems like all these reviews poor are about specific Auctioneers on Bid spotter. I have been buying equipment from this site for years with no problem. Just read the fine print and there are no surprises.

I have opportunities to use this portal several times. Here is my experience

Scenario 1: I submitted bid at last 1-2, min. Bid doesn't get reset and ended.
Scenario 2: I was lead when bid ends. But I didn't win. The explanation was someone had max bid on it.

Stay away, Anthony, the owner is a shady character, knowingly has misleading and factually incorrect title and description. When you call him out on it he defends it and/or blames the help. Certainly a red flag. I was a customer for over a year and always had reservations and wondered about the bidding, get out bid then see the same item on his next auction, happens more than once, very curious...
No longer a customer and I do not recommend! You have been warned!

Excellent Platform. Read the terms and conditions and you'll get what you pay for.

AVOID AVOID AVOID - don't waste your time on this scam site. Auctions are often misleading and clearly rigged to favour certain bidders or types of bidders.To say this site is an exercise in wasting your time is an understatement.
From misleading ads, to misleading gobbldeygook to cover their backsides, it is an exercise in futility.

The more reputable auction houses even admit it.
Stay away from this horrid site

Perhaps the FCC or state AG's should look at this bait & screw site.

ACE Auctioneers is a shady company run by a shady character. He consistently bids on his own auctions and has admitted to it. Many times items that were sold in previous auctions magically show up again, many times.
Bidder Beware!

Not much out from the company when auctioneers are screaming, and yelling at customers, be sure to race to pick up your stuff as you will have to pay ridiculous fees. Proof of wires are not good enough for their auctioneers they literally need their cash in their bank account before anything.

Owner is disrespectful and demeaning. I warm anyone doing business with this guy.

I beg you to avoid them. They are a group of deceitful individuals colluding with even more unscrupulous auction houses. Bidspotter refuses to take responsibility for the disreputable auction houses they subject us, innocent customers, to. Furthermore, when the auction houses fail to fulfill their obligations, they shirk any accountability for the ensuing problems. Where is their due diligence?

Working with their customer service agent Courtney was great. She helped us resolve the issue and gave me all the information needed to insure it was resolved. I would highly recommend BidSpotter to other companies.

Ace Auctioneers stated the values of items were extremely higher than fair market value. For the most part I have been satisfied with my transactions with bidspotter., however, the Ace Auctioneers grossly and I believe fraudulently misrepresented the true value of these items.

I recently purchased a truck for $56,000 and was charged 18% for a buyers fee. I knew it was 18% but upon completion I still had a very difficult time getting over the fact that I had been practically robbed for $10,000 just to purchase something. This is price gouging and leaves a customer feeling very dissatisfied. I have purchased large equipment on Ritchie Brothers and my total cost for a $100,000 combine maxed out at $1540. That's fair. $10,000 for a $56,000 truck is not fair for both the buyer and the seller. I had to take the exorbitant fee into account when deciding on my high bid, so the seller definitely lost out. I would NEVER use bidspotter to sell my products.

First time on this. Great experience so far!

Bought two small lots from them, was unable to get the rigging companies to communicate back with me. Auction house said it wasn’t their responsibility. So they ended up just keeping the lots, wanted to turn them in for fraud. But regardless I’d stay away from these guys as if something goes wrong they will not help at all.

Absolutely dreadful , bought a car that stated mot , upon checking there was no mot , rang auction house as the van was sold with wrong description , they’ve just said “hard luck “ STAY AWAY FROM THESE JOKERS
