Asset auctions did not have possession of the vehicle they had sold me and the manager had still not refunded my payment after 13 days. Ive also just read numerous poor reviews about this company yet bid spotter still allow them to trade on their site. Steer clear of this shyster. auctioneer has now refunded me and blocked me from bidding on their site..

Bid Spotter in it for themselves

Bid Spotter will let anyone auction on there site regardless of who they are. Having just been caught up in a scam and lost my money with an auction site that have been on their site for the last 6 months selling Garden Furniture. Looking at the feedback, BidSpotter knew the issues with this company bet let them use their site regardless. Beware that using BidSpotter will not guarantee anything other than losing your money and no help/recourse from them

Not for pussy cats..research your items,study blurb and photos,watch out for additional costs and transport then take your chances..try to stick to auctions where you can see the stuff insitu in its working environment..not monthly auctions..always check cars on hpi (as they don't)...most auctioneers ok to deal with...good luck

Brilliant place to buy items at bargain prices!

I have been using Bidspotter for several years, after a friend told me about it, since then I have bid in several auctions and bought hundreds of items at bargain prices. It’s often very easy to sign up to bid with most auctioneers and bidding is really easy.

Seem beyond shady

Paid £8760 to them for two cars. One month later have no cars. One they "can't find" and the other they've impounded because they want paying storage fees for 10 days when they weren't storing the car and tried to resist it.

In my opinion, and since the owners liks to play google lawyer be clear this is just my own opinion (and those of several dozen others online) a complete fraud operation, constantly changes names and owns platforms it operates on and has its own vehicles it sells as a "third party" apparently - quick Google on the owner will tell you all you need to know.

Asset Auctions have given us a first class service and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody. We have bought from them and will be using them in the future to sell goods. Adrian went above and beyond to help us and we are really grateful.
