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

Bidspotter is where every auction worth mentioning is signed on to. Setting up is Easy, bidding is easy, they email remind you of closing dates, and also if your bid is no longer the highest. It is very straightforward and a great site to uze

Absolutely brilliant company with excellant service.
I was looking to empty our warehouse of all our event equipment.
The team at Asset Auctions were more than helpful and we acheived a really good uptake for our items.

I would be happy to recommend Asset Auctions to any potential businesses

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

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

Asset Auctions via Bidspotter

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!!

Asset Auctions via Bidspotter

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.

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!!"
