Not for me.
Not for me.. sadly bid on auction lots, expecting an end date of today.. only for the deadline to be extended And my bid to be extended too… how can they get away with this!!?? I bid based on todays finish date. Awful way of working.
The charges are much too high
The charges are much too high. Upto 35%is ridiculous and higher than all main auction houses
Great site and easy to follow
Great site and easy to follow. What I do like is how it keeps things straight to the point and not lots of crap you don’t need to know. Thanks for being honest.

90% 0f the stuff I have purchased from here has either not worked or been rubbish
Beware 02 corporate rip of
Now this review is not against bidspoter it’s against one of the agents named
In2 corporate honestly this company should be struck of due to in accurate descriptions of the items that is placed on the site. Good means bad. ok means terrible then once you realise you have drastically overpaid for the item you will be told that if you do not remove the item you will be charged storage fees honestly this firm is discussing. To the point when I arrived at the unit in Manchester a woman was trying to warn me what was going on but I ignored her but now I no what she was trying to tell me. PLEASE BE AWARE OF A COMPANY CALLED O2 Corporate
all good no issues

20% Buyers premium
20% Buyers premium, topped with a £5 Lift out charge is unreasonable and greedy compared with other Auction Houses,most of whom charge 15% B.P
Just brill
Just a brilliant auction site, its just so simple and good value for money, shipping is a bit costly but still you cannot have it both ways.

I just sold my boat with Asset Auctions Ltd and was delighted with no fees no fuss approach. Bidspotter has been a very useful website to help find auctions I’ve been using for the last 3 years.
Well done to both companies

I cannot rate Asset Auctions highly enough!! I recently purchased a hot tub that was described as 'Warehouse Clearance' through Asset Auctions. On receiving it, the hot tub was clearly second-hand, damp, moldy and most of the components were missing including the lid and the pipes that connect the pump to the tub. I contacted the seller and he just said contact Asset Auctions referring to their T&C's which he was obviously intending on hiding behind. I spoke to Asset Auctions and they couldn't have been more obliging or helpful. They were not happy with the traders transaction and refunded our full costs immediately (including theirs). You worry about getting caught out like this when buying from an auction site but this transaction has filled me with confidence to bid on future lots.
Thank you!!

Recently I have sold several plant items via the bidspotter platform through Asset Auctions.
No wasting time with tyre kickers and cash offers, Adrian and the team have delivered over and over again for me.
Auctions are carried out quickly, efficiently and well advertised. I have been surprised on several occasions to achieve an above anticipated disposal price, I can only put this down to exceptional marketing and listing on bidspotter.
Accounts are a dream, once the money is in their account it’s in yours. No chasing or hassle. Very refreshing.
Rarely when we have had issues with no paying bidders/no shows Adrian has been quick to resolve much to our satisfaction.
I honestly will only use Asset Auctions for equipment disposal in the future.
Auctioneers - WATCHOUT as some of them are new generation CROOCKS
I have thought a lot about writing this review or not but I thought it is a good idea to do so as it may help some people who trust some CROOKS as they use the sytem loop holes to abuse the trust. My issue was with ALEXANDER AURELIUS AUCTIONS which was adevertising themselves at Bidspotter and I-bidder as auction rooms. I had spent £66.12 including fees on a WD portable hard drive which is DEAD, it has been opened and put back together with a glue. When you look at the ad it seems so geniune you fall for the marketing tricks of these new generation crooks using auction rooms for getting rid ofdefected goods and companies like Bidspotter give them opportunities to do this as they get commission too, although there are some geniune auctioneers there are more opportunits who are using the general aution terms implied by the law but NOT CHECKED by the authoroties. So watch for what you are buying and the way they advertise it legally they cover their back advertising the good as secondhand and they don't know if they work or not which in reality with most electronics consider it as NOT WORKING and do not fall for your AUCTION BUYING or BURGAIN HUNTING weakness as there are lots of DISHONEST people who are waiting to pray on you because you can't even get your money back and you LOOSE. So think 3 times before you but and what you buy.
Used Bidspotter site and associated…
Used Bidspotter site and associated auctioneers several times, really useful and well presented site, my go to site having a wide interest offering.
Excellent and enjoyable experience
Pro Auction (Bath) provided me with an excellent and enjoyable experience and so easy to do. Entertaining auctioneer quickly runs through all items as they appear online, easy payment, and very polite accommodating staff to help with collection. I have saved a fortune! And have been back again. Now that's "the real deal!!"
