I find it quite interesting that Cliffhouse memorabilia was auctioned off almost a year ago. I wish I had known about it as I would have loved to see what the items actually sold for. I grew up in the... See more

I am having a auction
I am having a auction, and maybe it is me, but I find it very difficult to find and follow items IN MY OWN AUCTION! The moble app will not allow me to search a specific auction (my own) by lot number! When supposedly entering a lot number, I am directed to world wide sites that have that number in the description of a miscellaneous product. This morning on trying to signup for MY OWN AUCTION, my credit card is wrong and when I try to correct it, the value is not accepted and them I am "timed out". Like I said in the beginning this may be me and I am not an accomplished "Bidspotter"!

Beware
Beware, don't use Bidspotter, this is not a genuine auction site as most people know it and there are many hidden charges attached to the auction hammer price,
Note that if you bid and the RESERVE is not met, they can remove the reserve and as the last bidder you are liable to purchase even though you may have bid on another purchase as you thought your bid was unsuccessful! Sharks and borderline illegal!!!!
Bidspotter aren't interested in any resolve and good luck trying to contact them.
Good comunicación.

Ive never dealt with so many unscrupulous individuals. They don't allow each individual auction company to have feedback left on them to warn the public. One illegal operation after another! They need to be investigated as it all seems criminal!
Sharks and scammers
Sharks and scammers, work in conclusion with Peacock for example and you end up paying 41.5% on top of the hammer price. Do NOT register online just go to auction direct. They prey on people not viewing but buying online, then, on collection often find it's a pile of rubbish. Use other sites and auctions like Wellers that are far better.
Will never use this site again it’s a…
Will never use this site again it’s a total scam
You bid on an item which as only seconds to end once your bid is placed and your the highest bidder and you think you have won they then add 10mins back on to the bidding time. Totally scam and misleading. Stick with EBay
Avoid at all costs. A protected playground for rogue auctioneers
Do not trust this platform with your money or your personal data. BidSpotter provides the infrastructure that auction houses rely on, yet takes no responsibility when those same auction houses engage in abusive or dishonest conduct.
I experienced a situation in which an auction house retained my money without delivering the goods and then blocked all further communication. When I contacted BidSpotter for assistance, their response was dismissive and unhelpful. They claim auctioneers are independent, yet they actively provide a Public Block system that allows auction houses to damage a buyer’s reputation simply for disputing a transaction.
By allowing auction houses to keep funds without fulfilling their obligations, and by giving them tools to silence or penalise customers, BidSpotter enables this behaviour. There is no meaningful consumer protection and no accountability.
I have formally requested the closure of my account and the erasure of my personal data under GDPR. If you value your money or your peace of mind, use a platform that properly vets its sellers and offers real protection to buyers. On this site, buyers are treated as disposable.
This is a scam webpage
This is a scam webpage. I have bid on a few items during the auction and won. But they have extended the auction time and cancelled my bids while claiming their site is down.
Please stay well away from this site…
Please stay well away from this site it's scam after scam
Full of scams
There are a lot of different scams on this site.
Some will demand you pay in advance. But then never provide you with an opportunity to pick-up what you paid for.
Others will avoid even giving you payment information, if the item doesn't go high enough. So they can label you a "no pay" and resell the item.
And the website itself does nothing to police the sellers on their website. They know this stuff goes on, but won't protect buyers. Nor do they remove shady sellers.
They don't tell the truth about the product
THEY DONT TELL THE TRUTH AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought a van which stated it was a runner be it noisey and bit smokey. The van was not a runner as the engine was completey broken so therefore didn't even start so how they they said it was noisey and smokey is beyond me. A clear case of misrepresentation. Its disgusting, I have a small business and this has massively affected my business and caused me lots of stress.
No Integrity and No Answers
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."
NO PROBLEMS WITH BID-SPOTTER
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.
