AuctionZip
Reviews and Complaints

I am absolutely livid and frustrated with AuctionZip(Invaluable) and Vogt Auctions. I placed a bid on AuctionZip (Invaluable) which is one of the online platforms Vogt uses for their auctions. I was approved and placed a bid on an item over a week and a half prior to the auction. During the auction, my bid was passed over and unable to bid live via AuctionZip. I had the high/winning bid by $150 compared to the person who ended up winning the auction using LiveAuctioneers as their platform. I confirmed this with the live feed of the auction on YouTube, as well as talking directly to the owners of Vogt. If a platform is deemed to not work, why are they using this platform? I have been looking for this very specific item that came up for auction for more than 4 years and was willing to pay good money for it. I rightfully should have won but neither Vogt or AuctionZip (Invaluable) can or will do anything for me. I am left out to dry for something I should have rightfully won. I sold items that I can no longer get back to ensure I had the money for this specific lot. I passed over other lots in the auction to ensure I was able to keep bidding on the specific lot. I am furious with Vogt and AuctionZip (Invaluable) for this injustice. I have screenshots and video proving that I was the high bidder and should have won. But the owner of Vogt said there’s nothing he can do for me. It’s safe to say they have lost my business. I understand that this is not all Vogt’s fault, as AuctionZip was the main point of failure, but the fact that they use this platform will continue to use it is absolutely wrong. I have witnessed many auction houses stop live bidding to ensure their online platforms are synched and working correctly, however this was clearly not done with Vogt. An absolute embarrassment of an auction house!

Okay, so let's talk about AuctionZip. I was pretty disappointed with this site when I first checked it out. They're all about promoting auction listings, but if you think they'll show you the most popular auctions, think again. Turns out, they're just putting the ones that paid them in the top spots! What a load of bull. And don't even get me started on their so-called "Most Viewed Auctioneer". That's just a bunch of baloney. You know what they should do? Call them featured auctions and call it a day.

But there's more. Anyone can list on this site claiming they're an Auction Company, even if they ain't conducted a single auction in their life. And it's not like AuctionZip is vetting these peeps. They're just raking in the dough however they can. They don't care about being a true auction listing service, they just want to make a quick buck.

Now, I'm not saying don't check out this site if you're looking to attend an auction in your area. It's got some decent listings. But for real, don't be fooled by their top viewed nonsense. Just be smart and do your research. You'll find the real gems without AuctionZip's help.

Honestly, AuctionZip is a site that I would not recommend. It's like they're setting you up to be scammed! They'll give you a sense of urgency to pay for your item, telling you that you risk getting banned from other auctions if you don't. Then they send you a Docusign contract to seem all legit and professional. They'll even answer your phone calls and emails until you cough up the dough. But here's the kicker: they only accept Wire transfer, no credit cards or anything else. This is so they can safely drain your account without any chance of bouncing or blocking the funds.

I learned this the hard way when I won a supposed "stolen car" and picked it up in some sketchy parking lot by a corn field. The seller promised the title would be in the glove box, mailed, or at their office. I eventually found a person who had the key to the car, but when I went to pick it up at the office, there was no one to be found. To make matters worse, the emails I sent inquiring about the car all bounced back due to some bogus tracking on USPS return address. And now, to top it all off, the AuctionZip website domain name is no longer valid.

It's really disappointing to see people use good ideas to scam others. Stay far away from AuctionZip, folks!

Hey everyone, if you're looking to score some sweet deals on auctions, AuctionZip is definitely worth checking out. But, there are some things you should watch out for.

First off, those "estimates" they give out? They can be totally inflated, so make sure you do your research before bidding. And let me tell you, buyer's premiums can be real wildcards. Some of them are reasonable at around 15% or less, but some can be absolutely insane at 25% or more. And don't forget about shipping charges! It's usually better if the auction house does the shipping for you, since they often only charge actual cost. But, be careful if they use third party shippers who can sometimes overcharge you.

If you're thinking about picking up your winnings yourself, some auction houses will slap a "service fee" on you for doing so. And let's not forget about the pictures. If they're small or blurry, that usually means the item is damaged in some capacity.

Now, I know I've gotten some killer stuff on AuctionZip at really great prices. But, as always, it's best to check other sites like eBay, Etsy, and Craigslist to make sure you're getting the best deal possible.

All in all, I'd say it's worth checking out AuctionZip for some awesome finds. But, if you can, try to attend the auction in person. It's always more fun to see the items up close and personal, and you never know what kind of hidden treasure you might find!

So, there's this website called AuctionZip (auctionzip.com) and let me tell you, it just ain't cutting it. They're still using old school software that looks like it's from 1999, complete with those darn nag screen popups that nobody wants to deal with. And don't even get me started on those rotating banner ads that they're so proud of - they're as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

To be honest, it seems like AuctionZip cares more about advertising than actually doing auctions. Like seriously, what are they even thinking? They're so focused on the wrong part of their business model that they're leaving millions on the table. It's like they have no idea what they're doing. And that's a darn shame, because they've got a pretty big name in the auction world.

I mean, come on AuctionZip, get your act together. There's money to be made out there and you're just leaving it there for the taking. It's really frustrating to see a company waste their brand like this. It's like watching a cake burn in the oven - it's painful and unnecessary.

Overall, AuctionZip needs to step up their game and start putting more effort into their actual auctions instead of their advertising. It's not rocket science, y'all.

AuctionZip (auctionzip.com) is a bit of a sketchy website. Don't get me wrong, it's not all bad. Some people have found decent deals on there and it can be a fun way to pass the time if you're into auctions. But, personally, I would stay far away from it.

I've heard horror stories of people buying things on AuctionZip and then never receiving their items. And even if they do get their items, they're often not in the condition that was advertised. It's all just a big mess, if you ask me.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some shady things going on behind the scenes at AuctionZip. I mean, who runs a website that's so unreliable? It's not fair to the people who are trying to bid on items in good faith. And don't even get me started on the "final sale" auctions. Those are a total joke.

Honestly, I'm considering joining a class action against AuctionZip for their deceptive practices. I've been reading up on it and it seems like a lot of other people have had similar experiences to me. It's time for them to be held accountable for their actions.

And let me tell you, if I ever get the chance to go to AuctionZip's headquarters, I will be there in a heartbeat. They need to know that their customers are not happy and we won't stand for their shenanigans any longer.

If AuctionZip wants to avoid a public backlash, they better start doing the right thing and delivering on their promises. And if they don't, well, we'll just have to shut them down ourselves.

In the end, it's all about corporate social responsibility. If AuctionZip isn't willing to take responsibility for their actions, then they shouldn't be in business. It's as simple as that.

So yeah, stay far away from AuctionZip if you can. And if you do decide to bid on something, just be prepared to possibly get ripped off. It's a sad state of affairs, but that's just how it is.

I was told to email if there were any questions before completing purchase.
I asked a question about making payments. No reply.
I get an email to make payment. I ask same question about payment again. No reply.
I follow up saying I'm waiting for a response. No reply.

Auctionzip charges my account without answering questions! [censored]ing [censored]!

OMG! Have y'all checked out the new AuctionZip website? I mean, I get that they were trying to update things, but this is straight up hot trash! It's like they took a machine gun to the old site and left only a few measly features standing.

Firstly, what's up with the damn calendar?! It used to be so easy to see when and where auctions were being held. But now, I'm lucky if I can find more than 4-5 auctions listed, let alone ones with the items I'm looking for. I miss being able to quickly assess 20-30 auctions in a month with just one little window. It's like they want me to spend all day browsing their site, and I ain't got time for that!

I dunno, maybe the higher-ups at AuctionZip wanna make the auctioneers feel like they're getting the best local exposure. But in reality, all they're doing is limiting information to the most active users. And let's be real, who's gonna become an active user on a site that makes you work for every scrap of info? Not me, that's for sure.

Overall, I'm pretty dang bummed about the changes to AuctionZip. I'm already looking for other sites to use instead. If they don't figure things out soon, I think they're gonna lose a ton of loyal users. So get it together, AuctionZip, before it's too late!

Dang, AuctionZip is really testing my patience lately. Every time I try to check out an auction, I'm hit with this captcha thing. I don't even know what it is, but it's blocking me from getting a look at the stuff up for grabs. And let me tell you, some of those photos are bluuuurrry. I can't even tell if what they're asking me to click on is in the dang picture or not! I'm not the only one with this problem, right? Like, c'mon, AuctionZip, get your act together.

What's really frustrating is that this captcha thing is probably keeping other bidders away too. Like, if I can't even see the auction, what's the point of bidding on stuff? And for sellers out there, think about the poor souls like me who can't get into the auctions. Your items might not get the attention they deserve, ya dig?

Honestly, with all these issues, I've started looking elsewhere for my auction fix. It's a shame because AuctionZip used to be a go-to for me. But if they can't get their website in order, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.
