Proxibid Buying online at a auction that has a sale at their premises with customers in person. In the majority of in person auction all the online customers are doing is driving up the actual start price to a much higher start price. Auction houses ALWAYS look more favorable on auction attending customers as they have a relationship with those in the room to someone online. FOUR times I have been overbid on a maximum price that I had with a in house customer where we both made the same bid. And in one case Davis Brothers Auction, Missoula, MT 59808 stated they Always give preference to Inhouse customers. On the three other overbids Proxibid were NOT Interested in my complaint to them, Also In house customers are paying 5% Less that a online customer
Proxibid Buying online only auctions the above does not apply But of course you have to rely on the quality and quantity of Photographs to judge a item, and many houses only give one Picture so you cannot see more than one view and with the policy many have of NO RETURNS all sorts of faults are hidden, Buyer Beware
I do still Bid through Proxibid however I select those auctions with more reasonable Internet rates and the standard of description and information varies The older more experienced houses are more likely to stand by their sales . Proxibids Internet help desk, sends a notice the fault is fixed regardless of FACT . Most auction Houses NOW have more than One Internet Auction house
Desired outcome: I realized long ago Proxibid that Only Auction Houses get thier complaints attended too
