Bidding and buying was pretty good. Had to learn the little things, like you add 5 min after you bid on a item. I have won 3 bids.One item was a Deebot vacuum had no remote you need that to program. So we have to go online to order the remote. The vacuum was definitely used. We had to buy new brushes. We had to clean it. So beware of anything electronic.I ordered a ladder and a toaster oven they were great. Both look new. Everything I bought I feel I got a great deal.!
Quick and easy. The interaction between myself and staff was great. I would recommend this auction company to anyone.
Great Auctions, Great Sellers, Great Items & Great Customer Service. There is quite literally something for everyone at prices for everyone PLUS the auctions are open to the general public not just businesses. We love that they work with sellers all across the Midwest. I would absolutely recommend Equip-Bid to anyone that loves getting an extraordinary deal.
Great deals! Not to mention fun! Easy to navigate the website. Every auction I’ve picked up from, the people are kind and helpful! Excellent experience! If you’re looking for a deal, you’ll find it here!
I gave a 3 stars because I have had mixed experiences, some pretty good and some not. Its an auction I get it, but sometimes things are misrepresented and then not honored. I got a barn door for example that stated new. It was not assembled, but in a sealed box. Several months later we put it together to find it only had half the door. I had to pull teeth to even get them to honor half my purchase price back for an item I had to throw away. I have gotten some good stuff too!! If you buy, read carefully, immediately check contents. In the case of the door, they only gave me 1 of the two boxes. I did open it, and it looked fine; But it wasnt fine. I personally, as a business owner would have refunded the whole thing, no matter how many months it had been. I even asked upon pick up, if they were sure this was the only box. Be careful which auctions you purchase from. The door was in Blue Springs.
My experience was very good. They recently started tacking on a 15% fee on top of your bids which wasnt there 6 months ago. Hence the loss of a star. Other than that its pretty much a standard bid site that varies in quality from vendor to vendor. Wholesale KC, which I won this particular bid from has had some excellent products and are very clear about their condition by and large.Overall Ive been happy with what My wife and I have purchased from this site and we watch it frequently throughout the week.
There was 1elder woman was rude she said in a very sarcastic attitude to the helpers Really for helping me. Cause this day I had no help when usually I do.. I asked the younger girl if there was a man that could help she was very nice and had helped. But politely told me please the next time bring help he has health problems and doesnt get paid to do that part of the work. I apologized. And felt bad. But all and all most of the people Ive been involved with are very nice and polite. .
I check Equip-Bid every week or two. After a recent knee replacement, I decided against community exercise (because of the Delta Variant raging in MO). I knew Id be able to go on Equip-Bid and find quality exercise equipment. Equip-Bid auctioneers list all pertinent information, so I was able to go online and check the value of items up for bid. I won the bid on a couple of pieces that I really wanted and let some others go. The good thing is I was able to find those. items and Ill bid again.
I only had interaction and business with the auction in Topeka, KS but it was great!! The girl that helped me to inspect and then to pick up later in the week was so helpful and accommodating and nice!! The whole process was simple and satisfying.
I love this business. We have bought many items. Just be sure to carefully read the listings which are usually well described. Equipbid has many pickup locations, most well run and very friendly. A great place for good bargains.
I love uaing Equip-bid.com! I have found all sorts of great quality products from auction houses all over the city. From sinks to printers to shelving and more, the items are always in the condition in which they are described and pick up is easy as well.
Signing up to bid was easy and quick. When I won, the email was easy to follow to pay for the auction and I liked that I had several times to choose from to pick up my item. I will be back to bid on other auctions. 5 stars!
So far, Ive had a excellent experiences with the website as well as with multiple affiliates. There is some risk buying products this way but there are also some great deals. Uuuuumm... I mean... dont buy from here, I want the deals for myself! ;)
I really enjoy shopping on the auction sites. It is very fun when others are bidding too, it’s like a silent auction lol. There are a few individual action houses to be aware of. One of them is Envy action site in Kansas. They were so rude. And we’re telling me they were going to just pitch out my things or resale them. Very nasty text messages. I will not be going on their site again!!!!! I had forgotten to pickup. And that is how they handle this?? NO!
The auction website is excellent. My only complaint is that you can’t pay an invoice until every item in an auction is closed.Any problems I’ve had have been with the local auctioneer, not with the equip bid platform.Since we have to make appointments to pick up local auctions in Wichita, it’s a real problem when auctioneers have pick up times during the week, say from 3 to 5PM. Some auctioneers are flexible, but many are not.It’s also disappointing when items you bid on don’t work, or things look fine in the picture, but when you pick it up it’s broken.
The pickup from the online auction was easy. My lots were laying on the table ready to be wrapped. The auction staff were friendly checking off items from the invoice as I packed. Everything was organized and efficient. Will definitely do another auction with them!
I have been buying from Equip-Bid for about 10 years, I have bought equipment for my company, items for my home, tools, and a myriad of other items. I have never had a problem with receiving any items and can usually pick up the next day if local. Great group of people to work with and just about everything under the sun from the sellers.
Solid/easy bidding and payment setup, friendly staff and easy pickup, would definitely use them again👍🏻
They made quick and easy. Alot of fun thanks
I have had very good luck finding things i wanted on Equip-bid. The system is easy and I like picking up the items rather than waiting and waiting for something shipped to actually arrive. Descriptions of items are accurate and the key thing for me is to check where the pick up place is, is that convenient for me and the posted pick up times, does that work for me.
We are LOVING this online auctions through Envy and Equip-bid. We have found some great stuff and it’s a safe way to auction right now. Thank you for providing this service!
The sight is good but the 15% fee is a little steep when the cost of items gets above $1000. It would be convenient if that fee would be included when you make the bids.
Big Al’s is the best auctioneer on here you could ever hope ta work with!
This place is great. We are able to find great deals with quality product. They are quick about getting you an invoice and even make it where you dont have to waste time going back in to pay. Equip-Bid is where it is at!!!
Always a pleasure doing business with the guys at the Grandview location, only one time over the last three years has something not been what they posted. They took it back and refunded my money. Good guys....
Bidding & pick up was easy. Product, not so much. Purchased a serger that ended up costing over $200. Doesnt work because the upper and lower loopers are bent and cant pass each other. Pictures shows in box, looks like brand new. Must have been a return because it doesnt work. Expensive lesson but I wont buy anything else from Equip-Bid if it has working parts. I still have two other items that I havent opened up yet that have motors. I hope they arent duds too.
I had some time on my hands & looking for additional restaurant equipment for my next endeavor. I found a couple of items, and had to pick up a couple of items for home, too. Great experience. You know immediately if your bid is winning, and you can see your invoice after all bidding is completed so you can pay online. They had a Fast & accurate Load out Team to get you on your way!
My son referred me to this service and moving back, starting all over again has been nice on my budget. Thanks!!
I adore this site! There are really some great deals if you know the tricks! And pickup is always quick and easy
I have been using Equip Bid for over a year. I have had no trouble. It is a very easy to navigate platform. I love Equip Bid!!
Quick and easy pickup. Item was in perfect condition, just as described.
Very easy process. Dependable, affordable, accessible
Love doing business with this group whether during an auction or during pickup. Always willing to help or answer questions. Highly recommend.
I have bid on several of their auctions and never had a bad experience!
This is the best thing ever. I wished Id have known about these auctions when we were fixing our house. I bought a ceiling fan off the auction and even had remote, the only thing I found missing was a screw. The only item I have purchased that didnt work was a paper shredder and had I looked closer at the pictures, I would have known it was used.
Love Equip bid! Pretty sure weve furnished half our house with the awesome deals weve found on here lol. Thanks for providing such a great service!
They have lots of auctions and a lot of items, but they charge a really ridiculous fee, 15% on top of sales tax. So here in my county that totals 25% per auction win. So unless you happen to get something at a really really super low price the fees just don’t make it worth it
KCOVERSTOCK and Wholesale Kc are the only two Affiliates that I would trust to buy from.Accurate postings, fast and friendly loadouts great staff. Definitely recommend these two affiliates
Easy to use. Great buys for cheap. But do I recommend something I want to keep to myself?!
Ready for me. Very helpful as this was my first auction. Didnt get after me for asking dumb questions. Very pleased.
The fellas I worked with at the OZ location were very professional and very willing to accommodate my loafing needs. Very polite, and extremely genuine imo!5star for those Boyz in OZ KS!
I have enjoyed my experience with Equip Bid. Service at the pickup sites have been great.I have been to Grandview, Raytown & Lee’s Summit to get my items. Out of the 10 items Ive purchased so far, theres only been 1 item not describe accurately.You get great deals and Ive been very happy with my purchases. It keeps mecoming back for more.
Everyone is always super nice and polite at scheduled pickup time. I appreciate all the bargains to bid on weekly. Thanks.
About half the transactions are good but when the bad ones come around the items that you receive are usually worthless. I recently made a golf bag purchase on Equip Bid through Palmer Woodrow Sales. The bag was described as appearing new, but upon picking it up there was nothing that appeared new about it. The bag was stained and faded, but worse than that smelled horribly of smoke. I had to leave it outside for 3 days due to the smell.Made contact with equip bid regarding the item misrepresentation and got one reply back that they would contact the Seller. Since then I havent heard anything from either companies. I get that most auctions are being sold as is where is but when you blatantly lie about the product and misrepresent in the description to drive the price up, then your just being a Crook.Unfortunately this isnt my first issue with some of the Wichita Sellers on Equip Bid but at least the other Seller refunded me for a completely destroyed item. It would be nice if Equip Bid would hold their Sellers to a higher standard and help stop this fraud of misrepresenting and lying about item condition.
Many different auction houses affiliated with this......some much better than others. Overall, once you figure out how accurate each of them describes items...and THAT is a process. You can make it work. Expect some disappointing results and use your own due diligence or you will windup with a trash can FULL of junk...remember that a large amount of the items are returns.....and are non working or in some degree of damage/disrepair. I’m an above average tinkerer an still have things that require fixing above the new value of the items. As well as some folks getting carried away with feeling like an auction is a competition.....bidding without thought about buyer premium and the actual price of the items in a retail store.
Great deals. READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION and look at all the pics provided. You will get a great deal.
Overall, you can pick up items for much less than retail value. You do have to be careful though. Some items are damaged or dont work. Read the comments in the description of the items carefully. I have been going to the site in Vassar, KS and they guys there are great!
As in all on line auction sites you get what you pay for. Equip-Bid Auctions show pictures of the items and give you a rated description. If an item is cracked, broken or they are unsure of its working condition, they usually try their best to provide that information to you. I do recommend to go to a viewing and preview the items youre interested in, especially more expensive items you may want to bid on. That way you can see the item up close and inspect it. I have usually been very happy with the items I have purchased through the action process. I do tend to look up the item to see what it cost online or through a retail store so I know what my limit of my high bid should be. The auction companys I have used through Equip-Bid Auctions have been very reasonable to work with, easy to use the website, rules and procedures are stated clearly and pick up has been easy to schedule.
This pick up was at Grandview and if you arent familiar with it you may not know the right bay to go to but I was driving slowly by and the dock worker waived me over and took care of me promptly.
The auction went well, and as usual, Rachel and Jarrod were great to work with. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to do an on line auction.
Very nice people managing this site. Functional items, easy pick up. Thanks!
Always a good experience at the Grandview location of Equip-Bid Auctions. They take the time to open up a box and take photos, and have the most accurate descriptions. Pick up was easy. I will buy from them many times in the future.
This is kind of hit or miss. I have some things that are great and others that are broken, or missing parts. Make sure you look at pictures and read the description before bidding. My last 3 purchases I threw in the trash. One was a trash can that had trash drippings all over it and the motion lid was broken. Selling someone’s trash?
I would not normally review in a negative way but since I have been a long time member/buyer and have had positive experience before I am being asked to review. I have been through the “telling friends and family” about the opportunity to purchase less than retail but my last 2 experiences have less than stellar results. Both shipment have been missing 100% of the hardware. I have been doing this long enough to know that inspection is key but with Covid restrictions I am relying on associates to confirm 6 metric bolts(not something you can go find at an ace hardware easily) and nuts are included. This is two times in a row where I have to find hardware for assembly.
The Manager at Retail Wars named Vince, was a super nice and great guy! Very helpful!
The whole experience was good. From bidding to paying to pickup! Great place to find good bargains.
Great auction. Both bidding and pickup ran smoothly. Will definitely bid another day!
Over the past 6 months, I have made several purchases via Equp-Bid and have had a very positive experience. I have found all vendors to be very trustworthy and every item was found to be as advertised. I have recommended this site to several friends and relatives.
Second auction with Equip Bid, this seller was TREASURE NEST AUCTIONS. Highly recommend this auction service. Not only were all the items better than described, they wrapped and carefully packed and had all items together at schedule pickup time. Win win!!
I find Equio-Bid to be a very sophisticated way of bidding on-line. Items are extremely well represented, instructions are clear and even the pickup is well developed and easy. I have used actions for 30 years and Equip-Bid has a smooth, easy to use interface.
Great experience, fast and professional. Great photos and details, so you know exactly what you are getting.
I have purchased many items from various sellers on Equip-Bid and have NEVER had a bad experience. All sellers are professional, organized and would not hesitate to buy from again.Thanks to all hard working sellers!
I love how friendly, helpful and honest the KC Market House at the Blue Springs MO location is. They start at $1 bids. Out of all the locations I have been to, they are definitely the best. We never have to even get out of the car. They have it ready and load carefully. I am not complaining about any of the locations, but the KC market house in Blue Springs works really hard at doing an excellent job. There is not anything negative you could say about them.. They even gave us a little complimentary “thank you” goodie bag, with little candies and things for the holidays. This location definitely needs to be recognized.
I have bought a few things on Equip Bids over the last several months and have been happy with the quality of merchandise and the customer service I have had at the pick up locations. Only once did they not offer to load the item in my car. During the last pick up in Topeka (June 18th) not only did the gentleman take the item to my car but we had a very nice conversation as well. I have heard you have to check the item before you leave and my items have always been A+.
Great auction website platform. The responsibility is the users to determine what companies they want to work with, items they want to bid on, what rules apply to pickup (dates/times/locations), and to pay the 15% fee. But the platform itself is highly efficient.
I have found some wonderful deals on Equip-Bid Auctions. And every time I have gone to pick up my items the sites have been very friendly and helpful.
I have had very good experiences and have bought from 5 different locations around Kansas City. I have managed to replace nearly all my 1980 builder grade light fixtures in my house with up to date great pieces at a fraction of the cost of buying them new! I have saved SO much money through Equip-Bid!! I have not had any problems with any location employees and I can say the Blue Springs location staff is incredibly nice and helpful and they do such a great job of opening boxes and taking pictures of items so you are not worrying about purchasing lemons. I know if its a Blue Springs auction I feel more comfortable bidding higher because of the hard work they do of getting items out of the box and inspecting it. Some of the other locations do this too but I have not used all the locations yet. Overall I have gotten great items at great prices and had easy transactions.
This is a great place to find items for your business or home at a greatly reduced price from retail. There are multiple auction houses that host different kind of merchandise. I’m sure you will enjoy it.
Wonderful wonderful! Finding so many great deals on a budget! Everyone is always very pleasant at the pickup locations.
My bidding and transaction went very smooth. We shop Equip-Bid Auctions allot. I recommend them for a good online Auction site.
Unbelievable price on my item... practically a steal. Load out was easy peasy and organized!
The quality of items and accuracy of descriptions varies by retailer but overall I have had a good experience and gotten some great deals. Wholesale KC is my favorite retailer with very honest descriptions and pictures.
I was referred to Equip Bids by a friend. I am not sure whether to thank them or send them my invoices...I have bid on about a dozen different things in about 8-10 auctions. I have won 5 of my bids and have spent very little in regards to money. I have scored some excellent items such as a factory sealed Black Granite Double Mount Kitchen Sink for $90 off store price, along with a Crosley Bathroom Cabinet for only $7.59. Yes, you read that correctly, I paid LESS THAN $8 for a cabinet that retails for $349.95. I also got a beautiful Urn with 2 matching mini urns for my fathers ashes. Now I can have some with me, give some to my sisters & still be able to put a small urn on my step mothers grave so they will be together again. I also purchased a brand new pressure washer for my Fiancé. This site is very user friendly. You can check the things you have bid on to see where you stand, Equipbids will also send you an email when you have been outbid so you have the opportunity to up your bid if you wish or remove the item from your watch list. Purchasing is easy, you have a credit or debit card that is kept on file & the company will automatically charge it for you the morning AFTER the auction closes. Then all you need to do is schedule a time to pick up your item(s), show your paid invoice & that is it....Until the next time :) Love this site & totally recommend it!!!
Everyone is very helpful and courteous. Wish some places were open more than one day for pick up options...truly appreciate those places that have those options!
We have LOVED participating in Equip-bid auctions! Lots of stuff, great variety!
Excellent Auctions! great deals! Be careful and always check all photos and read descriptions.
Website is super easy to use and bid on items. To pick up an item all you need is your bidder number which makes pick up easy and quick. Make sure to read over product descriptions and look over pictures closely as some items are sold broken
Great . Excellent deals at prices one can really afford. Pick up is easy .Watch the descriptions as any savvy consumer should.Really a great site.
All transactions have been easy and smooth and finding some great deals along the way!!
I love buying from Wholesale Kansas City on Equip-bid. Bidding, payment and payment is easy. And the employees are very pleasant.
First time bidder and was not impressed with the product that I received. The description read that the commercial coffee maker that I was bidding on “appears new”. I thought that I would trust the description and bid anyway. Won the auction for a price of $61.00 plus expenses and taxes, picked up the product without any issues, get it home and plug it in…does not work. Called where I picked up the item and was told that since the box had been opened before the auction that it couldn’t be returned for a refund. This will be my first and last experience with Equip-bid. Lesson learned.
Got a great deal on a purchase.People were friendly and helpful.
This sale was well managed through and through. The details of the items purchased were spot-on, the glass items were packed well, and the pickup of the purchases was quick and easy. Thank you.
Great place to get discounted open-box & used items. Buyer beware though that some items are damaged, but most reputable sellers will disclose and even show photos of problems. In my experiences there are some shady sellers who DO NOT DISCLOSE DAMAGE, provide overly blurry photos, and sell nothing but broken parts-only useless junk (i.e. most sellers in the KC Downtown Underground Caves...) If you make it a habit to always look closely at the photos then you usually end up with decent products with nothing more than minor defects/missing parts. You eventually learn which sellers to steer away from when bidding on items. My only complaint about the auction site is Equip-Bid provides no way to offer a seller rating.
I use this auction location all the time. Great, honest folks! Read the descriptions and look at the photos carefully, and youll be a happy camper!
I registered with Equip-Bids years ago but only recently bid in a couple of auctions. Theyre good people with great customer service but a couple years behind on technology.They need a bidding app and they need more payment options like Google, Apple, PayPal etc.
Fast curbside pick up ! Product was great . Very happy with my bid purchase.
I enjoy the auctions-however I can not seem to get any assistance with getting outbid notices in my email-
Equip-Bid auctions are always well organized and have great representation of what you are bidding on. I especially appreciate all of the Saturday pick up times for us working guys
Superb customer service. Friendliest people ever!
I have purchased a 1/2 dozen items via Equip-Bid, and I have usually been satisfied. They generally inform you of the condition of items, but if not, one often has the opportunity to preview items in person. If one makes assumptions about condition, one can be wrong, as I was once. Live and learn.
I have gotten some great deals with Equipbid. Whenever I have a question, they respond in a timely manner. Great opportunities await due to their service.
Product(s) purchased are always readyDelivery help is always nice tooGreat personal
Very pleased with the auction I bid on and won. The pickup process was extremely easy and the Treasure Nest employees were very friendly.
Very helpful worked with me on all aspects look forward with working with them in the future
Hi like this app and have bid on some great items. Recently, they have added a 15%fee on anything you buy which really adds up. I think the fee is far too high and prohibitive on some purchases.
Retail Wars out of Grandview are a great group to buy from. My wife picks up my stuff they are always helpful and friendly. If you have not look at their auctions you are missing out.Thank you
I love bidding and buying stuff on Equip-Bid. I work out of town all week so I can only pick things up on Saturday which creates a challenge on which sales I can buy from, as only a few offer Saturday pick up, depends when the sales end.The sales I have bought from have all been great the staff is always helpful and friendly.
Love using equip bid, easy to use and get great deals.
I like the Equip-Bid Auction online system. It seems to work well in my experiences so far. The pick up system worked fine on this, my first purchase. I was satisfied with the purchases themselves. The only reason I dont give a five star rating is for this one reason. I think the premiums should be paid by the seller and not the buyer. I had forgot about this and it was quite a shock to see 15% added to my invoice at the completion. I have participated in auctions for decades both buying and selling and I prefer the premium be paid as the seller.
